Just because something is common place now, doesnt mean its not feminist or SJW. Women in the workplace is commonplace now, but it's still a feminist thing, since it is feminists who brought about that change. We used to have virtually no female characters in games, but now we have a sizable portion. Since that wasn't the norm in the past it will always be an SJW/feminist thing, since not long ago in all of our lifetimes this wasn't a thing and is a change brought about by the SJW/feminist interest groups.

Maybe you don't mean it like that, but you're basically saying that you think that's a bad thing (women being able to work and being represented in video games), since SJW is a 100% negative word.

I think thats up to everybodys POV. Some think its a bad thing, most probably think it's a good thing. Regardless, I consider anything that's driven by a social agenda to be SJW. That doesn't mean it's bad, it doesn't mean it's good. It just is what it is. TV shows trying to represent racial groups and genders and orientations equally for example is an SJW thing, because it is done with a specific agenda in mind. It's not random, it's not conicidental. Whether you think that's a good thing or bad is up to your individual opinion, but I don't see the issue with acknowledging that it's driven by a cultural and social agenda. To me SJW is just a catch phrase for that. and yeah, I realize it has a negative connotation, but I think that mainly has to do with people not liking social and cultural agenda's funneled in to their every day lives thay they aren't already agreement with to begin with.
