I still don't know how the term "social justice warrior" became a derogatory term. Isn't justice a good thing?

Justice in and of itself is a very good thing but social justice is a bad thing because it's become perverted by people pushing these ideas beyond reasonable boundaries.

Like giving a main role to a woman, soon they'll be also directing movies or videogames and things like that, society is going nuts!

It's a sarcastic way of using the term. These people don't really fight for justice.

Your post makes no sense when you consider that we're not in the 1950s anymore. However, you could say "like getting yoga classes cancelled because it is cultural appropriation".

Do you not understand what reasonable means? No, I guess not. Look at your response.

Here's an example of social justice being reasonable and going too far. Treating transexuals as their preferred gender is a reasonable request and they are treated like everyone else when they're passable but when you start introducing stuff like this....

http://www.mrctv.org/blog/52-year-old-father-lives-6-year-old-girl Transage(?) and transgender

or this....

Identifies as a transgendered dragon. 

 

I don't really care that people want to do stuff like this (by all means have at it) but they can't expect or force other people to change the world so these people can be treated as the things they identify as. No one is gonna accept a person as a dragon or much less treat them like one. There's plenty of other examples that are just as wild as these. This is when social justice is going beyond reasonable.

In pretty much every area that social justice is a part of it, it's gotten out of hand.

In line with that example, two ladies that had their taco business shut down because of cultural appropriation.

Anything can turn into a bad word. When people get sick and tired of some group or issue constantly popping up. Otaku has become that.

Otaku is a derogatory term in japan perhaps but in the west, it's not. 

Oh come on. People use it to insult people that like anime etc. Along with weeb and weeaboo.

Social justice? That's only people weird as fuck, soemthing that happens since the beggining of times, there's always being weird people, but who is legally accepting something like "transgender dragon"? Nobody obviously, how many people like this do you personally know? Do you really spend all this time fighting against a 0.01% of weirdos or do you use this weird extreme cases to justify some kind of intolerance?

Weeb or weeaboo is more insulting than otaku. Most people I know think of otaku as a badge of honor. 



It's harmless. What does it say exactly? Social justice warrior? People shouldn't get offended by it unless they choose to.

Cases of this stuff is growing and it's not the extreme. Granted, it's rare but it's gaining traction There's a couple of people that made the news several times that identify themselves as black even though they're pure white. So I guess transracial is becoming a thing. Beyond the reasonable.

Intolerance? What are you rambling on about? Just because I don't like SJWs doesn't mean I'm intolerant as you put it or in the general sense. I just don't like idiots who believe in dumb shit like culture appropriation or that all men are sexist or hundreds of made up pronouns for genders *shrugs I'll treat anyone just like I do anyone else in general.
