In my experience, it was the SJWs turning into jerks first. Someone makes a remark which is racist or sexist or whatever, but instead of first saying "hey, that word/phrase/thing is racist/sexist/whatever" (because, you know, fandom is an extremely diverse place with people from a broad spectrum of places and times, and as such not everyone will have the background to understand these right off the bat or know that what they said has such negative connotations), they often just say "You're a racist/sexist/bigot for saying that!" And if they just try to explain they genuinely did not know it was, or ask for an explanation or how/why that remark they made is racist/sexist/otherwise-unfortunate, the usual reaction is something along the lines of "It's not my job to help you!".

Usually somewhere in there, the original person who made that unfortunate remark turns into a jerk because, well, everyone else was being a jerk to them. Maybe not the smartest or best thing to do, but honestly I can't really blame them for reacting that way when they're in that position.

... this doesn't seem to have much to do with the comment you're replying to?
