It's more like saying "I've been to every Taco Warrior place in Chicago...".
While I think the term SJW is often used too broadly to include "reasonable people who care about social justice", I also think the term SJW quite often is specific enough to be used as a label for people who take the issue of social justice a little too seriously, often to the point of making it a (seemingly) core part of their identity.
Personally I'd say let's be reasonable and stop using the overloaded term 'SJW', but at the same time I do agree that there are certain people for which it would be nice to have a label, where SJW (emphasis on 'warrior') is kind of the right one.
- erikpukinskis 7y agoI guess I would ask you: why do you want a special term for the shitty version of this specific category of people? Do you have other terms for the shitty people within other specific groups? Do you have a term you use specifically for the shitty business people? Do you have a term you use specifically for shitty athletes? For shitty politicians? For shitty women? We have a word for the shitty version of a gay person. We also have a word for the shitty version of a black person. Worth noting. Louis CK says he has nothing against gay people, but he wants to use the F-word to connote a special kind of shitty gender nonconforming man. Have you thought about where this SJW label came from and why it exists in the first place?
