Offended by term “SJW”

[Nerska123]

It is extremely offensive and should be banned like everything else with the potential of making someone uncomfortable.

Not sure you are either trolling or dumb. /sigh

You obviously never lived on the West Coast or in Denver. They're alive and well my friend. Living in a shitty apartment with 5 roommates at 32 with a part time job while spending their free time planning "activist demonstrations". I see that stupid shit every damn day.

As someone who actually lives on the west coast: you're full of shit.

[Goldielocks]

Yeah this is obviously bait, but anyone who thinks SJW is offensive while mindlessly spouting "lul fuckin incel" is an intellectually bankrupt hypocrite.

[Zython]

Honestly, my problem is that it was a term coined on Stormfront as a code word for Jews. But other than that, it just makes the person look stupid.

[arandomuser]

anyone who uses SJW knows nothing about actual politics, example every right winger on the internet calls mainsteam democrats SJWs, like joe biden and nancy pelosi.

if joe ( death penalty for 50 crimes)biden, and nancy "we cant impeach we have to work together" pelosi- is too far left and a social justice warrior to them then why even have 2 parties might as well just get rid of the democratic party because there is no one to the left of trump theyll ever support , which i believe is the point they all talk about how they want a trump dictatorship

and its also worth noting when ever the "intellectual dark web" people actually go on interviews with mainstream neoliberal people ( like shapiro with andrew neil) they get absolutely destroyed, because they have no policy substance except calling everyone on the left offended and snowflakes, but once they are hammered on policy substance they melt like the REAL snowflakes they are.

[Th3Scourge]

I love SJWs. They are giving the right-wing governments all over the world because left-wing parties try to pander to a subsection of the population that undecided voters and people in the middle ultimately reject.

So, thank you SJW. Continue to be unhinged, spoiled, middle-class brats

[Byleth]

It's just a buzzword to try to delegitimize arguments when they have no counter argument. That's all it is.

Pretty much this, it means nothing to me.

[GreenJesus]

And yet, all of that is just as true for the "opposing" side. They love blowing up every single instance of "SJWs" as some giant force of crazy PC worshippers, who are both powerful enough to influence everything if they are not stopped, and yet stupid enough to be effortlessly mocked on the Internet and turned into cringe compilations. Nothing like building up few strawmans as incredibly dangerous opponents and then defeating them.

This is how it works: a couple people on twitter @ a corporation with "oh my god you better not support that or you are literally a Nazi!". Clickbait articles get written quoting those random twitter people and out of context data/information. Those articles get linked by SJW's on social media and it blows up.

[MikeBogina]

"SJW" "Incel" "Neo-Nazi" "Cuck"

If one of these offends you, but the others don't, then you probably deserve to be called one of them.

If they were, they'd be wayyyyy thinner.

Blame it on the lack of testosterone

Batman is a SJW. Who doesn't want to be Batman?

Well, current right wing governments are either murderous fascist regimes (Philippines, Russia, Brazil etc.) or bumbling idiotic fascist regimes (USA, Italy).

Personally, I just don't see the appeal.

Australia just re-elected a centre-right government for a 3rd consecutive term. I mean, if they are so bad then vote them out. Turns out most people don't seem to agree the SJW agenda

Also, they aren't doing so well as the fascist regimes you make them out to be in the west. I mean, people still get to vote.

So again, if you don't like them, either don't vote them in or use your right to vote and vote them out.

The Australian right wing party is about the same as US Democrats. They are not like US Republicans or Trump. The Australian equivalent to Trump/Republicans is the One Nation party.

[Zan15]

As soon as someone says one of the 4 main key words I am out.

SJW, Snowflake, Fake news and Socialist.

I just say "have a nice day" and walk away.

it just means they have nothing and can't hold an actual adult conversation.

[Infinitiz]

SJW's are very real and should be referred to derisively because they are potentially taking society backward's.

Example. I'd say half my work colleagues are SJW's. I had an argument over Australia Day, a bunch of SJW's want to refer to it as invasion day and get the date changed. I had at least 10 people in the staff room here legitimately say they will refuse to celebrate Australia Day. I was honestly surprised, I assumed it was some tiny idiotic minority but no, it has real-world implications.

It's true, my ancestors invaded. so. fucking. what. You can't change it, just get over it. It is hot air and potentially resources and time to change it so as not to offend some indegionous people? When does it stop? Do we have to change all of history so not to offend.

It's dumb, wasteful and dangerous. SJW's need to start fighting for some real issues like homelessness and mental health issues, perhaps veteran affairs. Fighting for what day something is celebrated or what toilets someone uses or what pronoun I can use is frankly insulting and childish.

As a lifetime Liberal voter, I somewhat disagree with that. Democrats up to 2010 yes, but their ideology in 2016 onwards has clearly shifted further left. The libs, for the most part reject identity politics that Democrats are currently pushing. On a compass, the libs are somewhere between the centre and One Nation, as expected.

Also worth noting is the inaccuracy of polls, which has to come down to sampling. I would expect many liberal voters such as myself are less likely to engage in polling as we support the status quo on most issues. We are more likely to just remain silent on issues and cast our vote as we normally would. This is not an isolated incident either.

As somebody who moved out of Los Angeles, no I'm not.

Looks like identity politics to me.

I've literally never met an SJW in my life and I've lived in the capital of California all my life. I even went to university here.

So yeah, you're full of shit.

im going with 10, now elba is here this has some legs, only need that weird gilrak guy to have a pissing contest with one of the millions of right leaning posters and we might hit a solid 50 pages.

99% of them are fighting for nonsense like being offended by the noise that is interpreted into language people make or a series of letters upon a board that they have chosen to be offended by.

Or people who get offended by over sexulised men and women in video games and TV.

If you have been offended by the term, you probably are one of these pointless crusaders who are just a modern version of the moral busy bodies of the past that wish to just kill the fun others are having because they want them to be as miserable as they are

If you are fighting for muh wahmanz rights, minority rights, or literally any rights in a western country -- you are probably an SJW fighting for a meaningless cause. Enjoy the utopia that real civil rights leaders fought for.

Not necessarily. That's why I said, "for the most part" because they understand there ways they can encourage more women into sports and back into the workforce with policies around child care and the like.

I disagree with them on mentioning the gender pay gap myth, and some of the tv commercials they have made around 'respecting whamem' but I understand they have to pander to some degree to bleeding heart leftists and those across the bench.

Also, whilst they mention the gender pay gap myth, they don't have a policy specifically trying to force a false parity because they have more faith in markets, and to some degree the Fair Work Commission in engaging women in the workforce or passing wage increases to awards that predominately underpin women in the workplace.

So yes, for the most part, they don't engage in identity politics, and at least don't enforce equality by government policy. On the flip side, this is what Labor propositioned https://www.alp.org.au/policies/aust...-for-equality/
