Nah, a raging SJW would be someone going around telling other people that they're not allowed to enjoy anything that doesn't measure up to your standards of diversity, and that everyone who does is a terrible human being contributing to the erasure of [insert minority group here]. What you're describing is just a personal preference. That's fine (and perfectly understandable).

Also, it annoys me when more "diverse" franchises, even if the level of diversity is just plain realistic for the setting, or for mirroring the real life, are the ones questioned for why they're "deviating from the norm", or accused of being "SJW bait" or whatever. When really what should be questioned is why so much media lacks this diverstity in the first place.

Random personal preference side note thing: In theory, I'm much more interested in narratives with multiple female characters in notable roles. However, I also tend to like the types of genres and narratives that happen to have mostly-male casts and male protagonists much more often than not... so in practice, most of my main fandoms have male protagonists and not that many female characters.
It's kind of frustrating sometimes. No, creators, I don't want some stereotypical "girl stuff" the way you understand it, I want this same kind of stuff I already like, but with more girls. And diversity in general.
