SJW is a pejorative, plain and simple. It means "shut up and stay in your place". In this particular case, the post I was replying to[0] was referring to a post[1] that I'm pretty sure was referring to racism against white people. Take that as you will.

> SJW is a pejorative So? 'Racist' is also pejorative. Racists exist and we ought to be able to discuss their existence and harms. SJWs exists and we ought to discuss their existence and their harms as well. > It means "shut up and stay in your place" I literally laughed out loud on reading this. Of course SJW doesn't mean anyone should stay in their place. Where do you get this outrageous idea? And what is that place, to you? > In this particular case, the post I was replying t I can't speak to the motives and thoughts of this particular speaker, but it seemed to me you were making a generalization about what 'SJW' really means, and making unwarranted claims about what we should be able to reliably infer from the mere use of the term.

You can't speak to this particular speaker's motives, but you can to mine? What does SJW mean to you? I've already stated what SJW means to me, namely, the person using it is stating "I know I'm wrong, I just preferred it when people knew their place" If you'd like me to expand upon that, I'd be glad to. I just don't understand where you're coming from.
