Social justice warrior" (commonly abbreviated SJW) is a pejorative term for an individual promoting socially progressive views,[1] including feminism,[1][2] civil rights,[1] multiculturalism,[1] and identity politics.[3] The accusation of being an SJW carries implications of pursuing personal validation rather than any deep-seated conviction,[4] and being engaged in disingenuous social justice arguments or activism to raise personal reputation, also known as virtue signalling.[5]
The phrase originated in the late 20th century as a neutral or positive term for people engaged in social justice activism.[1] In 2011, when the term first appeared on Twitter, it changed from a primarily positive term to an overwhelmingly negative one.[1] During the Gamergate controversy, the negative connotation gained increased use, and was particularly aimed at those espousing views adhering to social liberalism, cultural inclusiveness, or feminism, as well as views deemed to be politically correct.[1][2]
The term has entered popular culture, including a parody role-playing video game released in 2014 titled Social Justice Warriors.[6][7][8]
The term was not originally negative. It was turned pejorative because of propaganda.
And I don't need your education, thank you very much. Your tone is very condescending.
I have always been respectful towards you, but that is not reciprocal. You are unfollowed. Your posts are quite worthless anyway.
As if yours @kooshikoo, but I see your SJW shaming ways continue on ...
What lovely, intelligent remarks. You can call me what you want. I did not start this, and I have no interest in continuing. I was not condescending, at first. Now I am. This is a boring, worthless exchange of words, with no potential for dialogue, as you don't want dialogue.
So good riddance, and please refrain from any more mindless comments.
I wish you continued success on the platform @kooshikoo :)
