If you don't think the "SJW"s have their dark side you have a rose tinted view of them. The socially progressive crowd you're talking about can veer into bigotry thats "woke" because it's directed against the correct groups, and can be deeply patronizing towards the groups they're nominally trying to protect. Being an SJW is a combination of having socially progressive views, being bigoted yet in denial of this, and being intensely judgemental.
I've been nominally protected by these social progressives all my life... yet honestly the most brutal and abusive things ever said to me escaped the lips of a certain subset of woke progressives who are so convinced of peoples vulnerability they can't help but see them as weak. Theres people who develop self-serving savior complexes that spout out progressive buzzwords while not helping anybody but theirselves.
In my personal experience I've had alt-right people who browse /pol/ offer me a drink and apolgize for saying bigoted shit. Have yet to experience an SJW do the same for patronizing me. Can't normalize criticism of progressives though because as the above poster explains, I'm only slowing down social progress that benefits me.
