An insult, most commonly used between 2016-2018 for anyone espousing socially progressive views. Used almost exclusively by right-wing chuds who bash so-called “SJWs” based entirely on YouTube compilations of something along the lines of “feminists being owned”.
Jesus Christ, it’s not 2016 anymore, stop using Social Justice Warrior as an insult.

A radical numbskull who believes the key to solving inequality is by serving the same inequality in reverse on a platter of insufferable bullshit, resulting in inequality against the same people they claim oppressed them.
“I believe all straight white men should burn in hell”
Holy shit it’s a Social Justice Warrior, just ignore them.

The term Social Justice Warrior (SJW) is one that reflects the ironic tone of postmodernism. Only under an ideology that supposes that nothing has meaning or value could a term come to mean its exact opposite—in this case, on the basis that care isn't cool. Essentially, SJWs are people who care a lot about humanity, but because modern, Western, white men have been convinced that caring is trite and "irrational" (even if all human behavior is necessarily irrational), they feel threatened by people caring. They lash out at people for caring by pejoratively referring to them as SJWs, all the while claiming that only "objectivity" (a completely impossible concept) matters and that we should all simply look out for ourselves.
That lady with the pink armpit hair is a real Social Justice Warrior; she was commenting on and on about children in Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America, as though anyone's supposed to care. *Sips Diet Coke™ while mashing on iPhone™* I mean, we get it—people die and it's our fault. Can't she just write in a blog or on Tumblr or something, instead of having to rub her irrational, normative righteousness in everyone's faces?

A pejorative term for people who acknowledge the existence of racism, sexism, homophobia and other forms of bigotry. It was created by insecure straight white cisgender men who are terrified of losing their privileged status and preferential treatment in society as well as their ability to treat women and minorities like pieces of trash with public approval.
Person #1: I don't think it's OK to kill a man just because he's black.
Person #2: STFU AND DIE YOU STUPID SOCIAL JUSTICE WARRIOR!!!

A person who believes they’re advancing social justice by liking and sharing things on social media.
My aunt Pattie is such a social justice voyeur. She shared that video of a black kid being shot by a policeman on Facebook, but she’s never been to a rally, and she doesn’t vote.
