(Anonymous) 2015-04-13 03:47 am (UTC)(link)They'll throw around words like mayonnaise, white bread, boring het scum, or whatever other variation of 'white foods' and 'boring'. Yeah, it's offensive, but I agree it's more eye-roll worthy than something to cry about.
The current SJW are no different than high school bullies who will call you stupid names and try to harass you. Instead of picking a fight with other, more harmful, bullies they prefer to target those who have done nothing wrong or those don't know any better. I swear I've seen SJW harass more 14-16 year old girls over '*~problematic~*' fictional ships to the point of them contemplating suicide rather than targeting actual chauvinistic racist scumbags.

(Anonymous) 2015-04-13 08:23 am (UTC)(link)One problem with this is that the meaning of SJW has become unclear as time has passed. It started out meaning people like you're describing, but these days there's a large contingent of people who will use it to mean anyone who doesn't think that the status quo is awesome and that anyone who claims to be burdened by it is a whining liar. (MRAs and Gamergaters use it this way, for instance.) And this has led to more moderate people *also* picking up the SJW label as a point of pride and defiance against those guys.
So these days, it's a phrase that's on the verge of losing all meaning. I usually think that, when it gets thrown into a conversation, it does more harm than good regardless of how the speaker is using it.

(Anonymous) 2015-04-13 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)Drop by sites like A Voice for Men sometime (if you've got a strong constitution), or any of its related sites. There's a substantial population of men out there who call themselves MRAs or PUAs or MGTOWs or incels and so on, and they act every bit like you'd expect. And, of course, Gamergaters have a significant overlap. This isn't a 'both sides' situation where the wrongdoing is perfectly symmetrical.
