Yeah, political correctness can seem obtuse at times, but it also seems that the people who rail against "SJWs" and "Tumblrinas" and "[insert right-wing internet neologism of choice]" are just as perpetually offended and easily "triggered" as those they're complaining about, if not more so. What people on both sides of the political aisle fail to realize is that many of the things they accuse the other side of, their side is just as guilty. There's plenty of double standard BS to go around for both conservatives and liberals.

Many people who rail against SJW's are not "right-wing", but moderates, liberals, and even progressives who realize that SJW's are akin to the religious right in the way they tolerate (or don't) others. They include very prominent liberals/social democrats like Bill Maher, Richard Dawkins, and Sam Harris. I generally agree though that a subset of the people against SJW's (within what is called the alt-right) are doing so because they have more malicious intentions (they are actual neo-nazis and fascists.)
