It does happen with the term alt-right just the same though. I'm not talking about people calling themselves alt-right: those are always assholes. But the term gets thrown around as well for anyone slightly conservative right now, and used in the same strawman-fashion as SJW is used to try and undermine any liberal POV. Anyone who denies that is wilfully ignorant at best.

I don't think it happens just the same. I mean i agree that the term is used in an extremely inexact way, and while I haven't seen it used as a blanket pejorative, I believe it happens.

But the word doesn't have the same structure that I outlined. It just doesn't. It's originally a self-appelation, not something that's used to divide between reasonable people and unreasonable people.

SJW started out as and is still used by some as a self-appelation as well. It's just been around a bit longer.

Do you have a source for the idea that SJW started out as a self-appelation? Because that was not my understanding at all.

Yeah, as I remember it the term was definitely coined to separate between reasonable and unreasonable people in the social justice movement. Have people used it since to apply to themselves? Yes, but only after the term had already started to lose its meaning... and even today the feeling I get from those people are less "this totally applies to me" and more "I'll be called SJW no matter what, might as well claim if for myself".

Do you have a source that it didn't? What "source" would count, in your eyes anyway, for this kind of term?
