I honestly have a hard time understanding what's going on most of the time, because I see "SJW" applied so broadly -- to online bullies, to good and bad analysis, to real and fake history lessons, to kids who are dogmatic and /or hyperbolic with or without also being bullies, and to a huge range of pop-culture analysis, from the genuinely out there to stuff that was already old hat in the 1980s. I've even seen it applied to Anita Sarkeesian, and I find it really hard to imagine a more non-controversial and middle-of-the-road feminist pop culture analysis than the Anita Sarkeesian videos I have seen.

In real life, I enjoy analyzing things to death (including and especially media things I like). I have a special interest in the history of radical movements in the US, and I'm a big fat leftist, so I'm broadly sympathetic to a lot of things that get rolled in under the SJW umbrella. I also don't use Tumblr, so I'm probably shielded from a lot of the stuff people here complain about. But I also run into a lot of "OMG, look at this SJW saying something cray; no one could possibly believe anything this ridonkulous; WHAT IS THE WORLD COMING TO" and then it turns out it's just an Audre Lorde quote or something.

tl;dr -- I don't think "SJWs" has a coherent enough meaning for me to have any opinion on the set. It's the new "politically correct" as far as I can tell.
