SJW is an acronym for 'social justice warrior'. It used to have a positive connotation, because social justice is, in and of itself, a good thing, right? However in more recent times, it's been co-opted by numerous amount of people that the entire rhetoric behind "social justice" has turned wishy-washy. In other words, it's not fresh news. People are getting sick and tired of SJWs who interpret every situation as needing justice, even if it's something as frivolous as a black dude who got a small coffee instead of the large they ordered. The problem with SJWs in the 21st century isn't their intentions per se (social justice is inherently good), but rather the fact that their constant bickering does absolutely nothing to address or mitigate the REAL inequalities that exist in the world today. And I'm sure that 99% of SJWs have not even had any proper university education in the social sciences, so most of the things they say are coming from their ass. In reality, most SJWs are just on an ego trip, and take to Twitter to brandish their "wokeness".
