In liberal media, it is considered a "conservative social-justice warrior" who is defending rather extreme conservative social values, while a conservative media perceives "SJW" as a "liberal social-justice warrior" with rather extreme progressive social values. The perception of SJW is therefore a negative term, used to downplay, insult, or ridicule the opposite political internet user faction. Interestingly, the term "SJW" originates in the late 1990s but turned negative during Gamergate 2014 where it was used to attack liberal online users that defend feminism, but since its meaning became more common sense and is nowadays used for rhetoric attacks on both, the left and the right.
