It seems like anyone who voices a liberal opinion gets called an SJW.

    Basically the opposite of Social Injustice Warriors aka right-wingers.

    I think originally the term was used to describe people on the authoritarian left, specifically in regard to a relatively small range of social issues/policies. In that sense, it was a very narrow field.
    Later, right-wingers chose to make idiots out of themselves by ascribing the term to every single person who has ever dared to express even moderately liberal views. That's why outside of the alt-right movement, the word has basically become useless and void of meaning. The same can be said for other insults the right-wing has come up with. They're usually very strong in their dissemination in the beginning but their shelf life is very short.

    Someone who has an opinion that they will refuse to ever consider. They never consider a other point of view and when facts are presented that show they are misled they will cover their ears and run to a safe space. I think one of the bigger things is they are always looking for attention and a new cause to be outraged by and a new label to call themselves to try and be a victim for more attention. Doesn't have much to do with being Liberal really you get the same characteristics from people trying to make a point for right wing arguments, like the people who go out of their way to openly carry semi automatic rifles into McDonald's because they legally can.

    How to distinguish an SJW from a liberal. An SJW will shove aside someone starving to death on the street to get viral video of them self spitting on a profile politician. They are not concerned with doing any good in the world. They are just evil people who hide their shitiness behind a veneer of "social justice".

    Yes, you're right. The entire thing about calling people an SJW is to make it seem like there is something shameful about being compassionate and sensitive. Call me an SJW if you want. To me Jesus was the ultimate SJW and I refuse to see it as an insult.

    SJW's a vast vast (did I say vast?) majority of the time check off most if not all requirements below:

    1. Anyone who disagrees with them is seen as a horrible person even if it's on something mundane and small. There world view is the one and all perfect way and if you have different view they see you as something horrible.

    2. They stereotype who is most privileged and even shame and defame the character of people who satisfy the qualification of those who they deem most privileged. If you're a straight white male who grew up in poverty and is working two jobs to try an pay his way through college you're more privileged than a Kardashian in their eyes.

    3. They don't like it when other people appreciate cultures that are not your own (especially if you're white). You want to play an erhu because you think the instrument sounds beautiful but you're not chinese while that's racist and cultural appropriation. You like the look of dreadlocks and you want to wear your hair in that style. Well if you're not black that's racist.

    4. They take a problem with a small subset of a group of people and make it about all people in that set. One metal is racist, then apparently metalheads have a rampant racism problem. A lot of 13 year old troll gamers say racist and sexist things online (which annoy everybody), apparently vast majority of gamers are like that. Not saying there aren't assholes in groups of people there are assholes everywhere but labelling a whole group of people off a subset of assholes is childish and causes damage to people who really aren't doing anything wrong.

    5. They try to ban/change things they don't like or don't agree with and even if something changes to meet their demands they complain and find a problem with that too. Sexy character in a videogame, let people who enjoy the game buy it and don't touch it. They made a huge thing about Nier Automata and if all you got out of the game was that there was a sexy main character then you missed the whole point of the game. Not to say that the SJW's complaining never had interest in the game to begin with.

    6. Nothing will ever be perfect for them so they just go around destroying everything they touch.

    I agree with the opinion that you could get 10 different answers, HOWEVER, I seriously doubt they would all be "valid" answers. The answer to me seems quite simple. "Social injustice", a bit of a misnomer, should really be thought of as "legal injustice", I believe. It occurs when an individual or group is treated differently, preferentially and usually illegally, than another individual or group in the same circumstances and evidential value. A person, or group of persons, who seek to right those wrongs is merely doing "what is right". It's shameful that you get called a "warrior" and ostracized for simply doing, or expecting, the right thing. "Social or societal" warriors also do this, but in addition, they seek to change the minds or enlighten the minds of those who ignore, or disregard those wrongs because they do not direct affect them. The fact that "conservatives" often label those who do this as "liberal" is a sad, pathetic state of affairs, since ANYONE of ANY political belief or persuasion, should seek "justice for ALL" under the law, and just for those who can afford it.

    According to the Urban Dictionary:

    www.urbandictionary.com/define.php
    A person who uses the fight for civil rights as an excuse to be rude, condescending, and sometimes violent for the purpose of relieving their frustrations or validating their sense of unwarranted moral superiority. The behaviors of Social justice warriors usually have a negative impact on the civil rights movement, turning away potential allies and fueling the resurgence of bigoted groups that scoop up people who have been burned or turned off by social justice warriors.

    Example:
    "If social justice warriors would just fuck off, we could actually make some progress."

    I tend to agree with this assessment.

    1. An ideology that justifies taking unearned wealth from others.
    2. A indoctrinated hatred of their own nation that is utterly unjustified by objective history.
    3. An ingratitude for what such people do have in their lives.
    4. A belief that they can magically create utopias on earth, rather than accepting human nature for what it is, innately flawed.

    The easiest definition to give is that it's someone who uses moral superiority to fight for their views instead of facts or logic.

    They know their arguments are unsupported, so they instead try to convince you that regardless of reality, their position is the morally right one. By changing the argument from correct vs incorrect to good vs evil, they are vindicated in their crusade and to try and oppose them for any reason makes you part of the evil

    SJWs are self-centered, emotionally childish, collectivized pawns who are incapable of reasoning independently. SJWs cannot intelligently defend the positions they hold when challenged individually. Free speech therefore holds less value to them, and many regard it as an arbitrary privilege that should be revoked for those on the far-right.

    SJWs make an excellent straw man for the alt-Right, so anyone expressing a liberal opinion gets labeled an SJW regardless of whether they are or not.

    Basically, if they challenge someone's assumption of white male superiority, they are called a social justice warrior.
