(Anonymous) 2013-03-20 01:58 am (UTC)(link)I mean, there's a line between getting wide-eyed and frothy because someone used the word "niggardly" and between saying, "Hey, that's not cool" to someone using the actual n-word, or calling someone a "he-she" or making about rape being funny.
Social justice isn't really just about Big Causes that involve elected officials and charities. It's about the everyday attitudes of people. It's far more about what's considered casually acceptable, the sort of thing you just accept in a movie, comic, or conversation without even blinking, even though when you look at it, hey, yeah, it is kind of weird that almost ever Asian superhero is specifically a martial artists of some kind, or hey, it's kind of annoying how the most generic answer for "why is that female character crazy" is "a man done her wrong."

And that's the difference between a social justice activist and a social justice warrior. Guess which one actually does those things and which one just rants about social justice issues on a hair trigger without any thought to practical application or context?

That doesn't mean I'm going to yell and kick and scream and always fail to get context. But if you (general you) think people who respond to SJ issues are always SJWs then that is your problem.
I'm not sure which you are, but saying "being polite" and then implying that behind-closed-doors activism is the only legitimate way to go about things kind of makes me wonder.
This is becoming a real problem. The phrase "SJW" is losing its value. Someone who cares about social issues and annoys you because you don't isn't automatically an SJW, and it's your (again, general your) problem if you're annoyed because I don't like (for example) sexist things or people being sexist.
