I hate SJW's, but at the same time the term is becoming overused and watered down to the point of irrelivency. I've even seen some people hilariously proud of being labeled in such a way. "Isn't being a social justice warrior a good thing? lololol." Not realizing the negative stigma behind it or the fact that people use that term ironically. But much like "bigot, racist, sexist, etc" the term is becoming a sort of catch all smear to those who want to slander without an actual retort, and becoming almost watered down at this point where the word is sort of losing all its meaning and impact. Nowadays I hear the term "such and such is a racist!" thrown around so much that I merely shrug my shoulders and wonder "well, is this person ACTUALLY a racist or is does this person just have a few minor veiws they disagree with and thus have decided to smear/discredit them without any basis for doing so?" Bit of a boy who cried wolf situation, but I digress..
Going back to "SJW" I never much thought it was a very fitting term anyway. Something like - "language police", "reverse racist" (as I found that many of these people turn out to be big hypocrites as thinnly veiled anti-white male), or "cultural Authoritarian" to me is much more fitting and has more of a negative termonology to it."
Edit: For the record, when it comes to SJW's in gaming, I'm not one of these gaming/entertainment purists who goes around screaming "NO womens leads in mah games!" I'm 100% welcoming of that, or trans, minorities, whoever else. As long as the game/movie/show is fun and has a good story, who cares? There should be games for EVERYBODY to relate to (though I don't necessarily believe x protagonist needs to be your particular gender/race in order to identify w/them but that's another story). Where I start to have issue is when it is turned around the other way where somehow masculine guys, or male leads saving damsels in distress or scantily clad women is somehow a terrible thing (ie, the Anita Sarkeesians of the world). In other words, I have no issue with your idea of what a game/movie should be, even if it's not my cup of tea, and YOU shouldn't infringe and impose on mine. This goes back to my classical liberal/libertarian nature of "live and let live."
