it is a new term. It is new enough that some people call themselves a sjw proudly because they fight for things that need to be fought for; it has been used as a pejorative by some implying that people are frivolously enraged over issues that they should be ignoring. Whether it's good or bad or not is going to depend heavily on context and what a person is actually trying to confer (ie, you wouldn't be able to tell whether someone was using it as an insult or a compliment in, say, a tweet unless it had other context)
there are a lot of utterly infuriating people who label themselves at it, many just as bad as the folks over at GG, but the difference is the issue of social justice is a good important thing and video game journalism is basically unimportant
so when you use it a pejorative it says a lot abou tyou
When someone says "SJW" they don't mean "Makes good political and social points to correct misgivings with the current structure of western civilization"
They're exaggerating the "warrior" bit of that to mean "crude, rude, dude(tte)s who think there's a point to be made by being a jerk to everyone who's not a *kin."
So no, don't take offense to "SJW" hate if you're a feminist/egalitarian. That's like getting angry at everyone else for hating the gammadion cross because the NAZI's propagated your design to push a hate message.
The term is being used much more widely these days, from what I've seen. Obviously the gamergaters are an extreme but anyone questioning if maybe there should be more female or poc main characters in media can get the label thrown at them.

Anyone who identifies as an SJW can't really be offended when they're lumped in with people who invent new gender pronouns for their alternate personalities.
uh, why not?
I fucking hate that caring about something suddenly makes me the same as an idiot of tumblr and therefore my opinion just as easy to dismiss
Woah woah
You were willing to lump someone who used a term in with people who are fucking vile human beings, because they also use that term.
You don't get to paint people with a broad brush and then object when it gets done to you. We all play by the same rules here.
"The only way to get rid of a temptation is to give into it." - Oscar Wilde
"We believe in the people and their 'wisdom' as if there was some special secret entrance to knowledge that barred to anyone who had ever learned anything." - Friedrich Nietzsche
basically calling someone a SJW is trying to invalidate any and all opinions they have and says more about the person saying it than the person that is being called it

GTAV is the only game of recent memory where one of the main characters is a POC.
GTA is a pretty progressive, if satirical, game in its own right. It's too bad people ignore it.

@Bogart@Jacobkosh The Invisibles is awesome, you should know. Well, I guess you do. Took me a while to get started on reading. I still haven't finished the first book.

Aside from the really weird *kin shit on tumblr, it's got some pretty cool stuff buried there. If you look hard enough, it could realistically be deviantart 2.0.

SJW feels like a bad comparison group to gamergater.
I read plenty of hokey and reductive political stuff on tumblr, but I have also read a lot of insightful posts where someone lays out their experiences as, like, a queer anarchist person of color and it is interesting and different from my life and I feel like I have been given some kind of insight.
Also there is a tumblr called "fuckyeahbrutalism" which is nothing but brutalist architecture
Therefore tumblr rulez

These days it's used mostly as a pejorative by silly geese who are threatened by anyone who isn't white, cismale, straight, and culturally mainstream.
It's kind of like Feminist or Liberal in that regard. You can tell a lot about a person by whether or not they say it like a slur.

i got yelled at from a car for wearing a fedora hat!
Don't worry it is the right way to feel in many ways.
But take that anger and make it productive. You can't really burn the system down but you can try to reform it bits and pieces.
Mostly via being proactive.
Also there is a tumblr called "fuckyeahbrutalism" which is nothing but brutalist architecture
Therefore tumblr rulez
