I don't think that's the case at all. There's social justice warriors (SJW) who do fight the good fight and try to point out (and/or stomp out) racism, bigotry and homophobia when they see it, but then there are also those who take it to far. The extremists. They adopt the SJW ideology and wrap themselves up in it like a warm blanket. I think that 'slur' would refer to those extreme individuals. An example of someone taking it to the extreme would be someone frothing at the mouth because you said the word "spider". They're angry, upset and offended because they're scared of spiders and you didn't put a trigger warning in front of it (Yes, those people really exist). They're hypersensitive and find everything and anything offensive for the sake of being offended because their outrage nets them a form of attention. On every side of every issue, you're going to have extremists. I think it's best to stomp out extremism when you come across it because they inevitably do more harm to their cause then good.

Quote from the article: "I believe the current P.C. agenda, by demanding purity from its allies, is showcasing its inherent weakness." She is right. We do not advance the cause of justice by censorship or by claiming to be traumatized by other people's opinions."
