SJW != social justice
- hackmiester 7y agoI don't think it's going to be a very interesting discussion if we can't agree that the phrase "social justice warrior" means "someone who fights for social justice."
- throw_m239339 7y agoSJW is a derogatory expression, like "TERF", social justice warriors don't call themselves social justice warriors. I would call social justice warfare a set of sophistic mindsets and tactics in order to push an intersectional narrative accross every community. "Codes of Conducts" for instance are an euphemism for "political and thought control" in a community. It doesn't make a community better, it just forces it to accept an intersectional narrative and eliminate political dissidence, through ideological purity. The best example is the atheist community that was about atheism. Some people "hijacked" that community and pushed for "atheism +", where now it was no longer enough to be atheist, you had to also be an intersectional feminist, pro-LGBT+,anti-racist, anti-islamophobia... not that it is a bad thing but it has absolutely nothing to do with atheism. So "atheism +" gatherings ended up talking about anything but atheism itself, since it had now to talk about representation of women, LGBT+, minorities in conferences. edit:
