What if a user is pointing out an actual SJW? The term may be over-used but that doesn't mean the term is always misused.
As for the OP, it would seem the user was ok with the female lead so long as it wasn't trying to send a political message about girl power because really, who cares? I wouldn't want to play a game where it's all about girl power and shoving that in my face, but some of my favorite games of all time include females in either major/hero roles or main characters. The Last of Us is a prime example of our political nature not interfering with the videogame. You have the whole community talking about how badass Ellie was, instead of the game developers just telling you she's badass for the sake of 'girl power'.
Having said that the person throwing the SJW word around could have sounded a lot less condescending.
