I respectfully disagree. "SJW" means "they said things in a way I didn't like! Waaah so mean!"

There's a reason "tone argument" gets pulled out a lot, because "you're hurting your cause by being angry" is the best way to dismiss someone's arguments. Whew!

This doesn't negate that there are some real fucking actualfax genuine douches who are also activists, as with everywhere, and lord knows i've encountered them IRL and online and suffered for it, but if you'll look at this whole thread, "SJW" and "activist" and "meeeaaan" are being fallaciously conflated.

Privilege guilt really really really wants cookies and soothing words.
