Oh, come now. Let's not pretend that SJW isn't basically used as a catch-all (primarily by the right) to paint anyone speaking in favor of fixing social issues in a bad light by equating them to extremists that're advocating for patently insane things like revenge against men or whatever that doesn't have anything to do with social justice.
Ok ok, take a breather, calm down.
Calm? Ok. SJW may be used by the right as a pejorative toward people like Social Activists (You know, people who actually want to fix social issues), however, there are actually people out there who fully embrace the term Social Justice Warriors and believe they fight for things like cultural stagnation and racial/sexual revenge. Just like how there are people out there who believe in white/male supremacy and Western expansionism.

Okay, sure.
But does that justify referring to them as social justice "warriors" when they're decidedly not advocating for social justice?

I've never seen the term used in a context that'd suggest a standard definition; it pretty much almost always ends up aimed at whoever and whatever.2. Same thing can be said for all political nicknames, what your point?
No real point except for what the term is ever actually used for.3. Pretty easily actually, "SJWs" do it all the time.
1. And how could it possibly be considered social justice? 2. And how would that justify these people advocating these views as being painted as supporters of social justice?

1. How can America's idea of justice exist considering all it does is disenfranchise people and make their lives infinitely harder? Well, it's not really justice, but over 200 million people believe it is and ridicule those who don't, claiming that they're too weak or un-American.
2. Because they want Justice (Strike that, revenge) for who both came before them and those who exist now who had/have to deal with social hardships like sexism, slavery, etc...

No, but it's kinda hard to give them a different name considering it's the name they've given themselves. They believe they are warriors for social justice, it just so happens that their ideas of social justice, are much more closer to social revenge.

I dunno... "racists," "sexists," or "assholes?" All three of those describe the mentality of "revenge against a specific group of people," much more accurately than the term, "social justice," does.

Right. So maybe we shouldn't give them the limelight and support their asinine assertions that they're supporting social justice by referring to them as social justice warriors.

Most of them don't believe that minorities or women/trans people/agenders can be racist or sexist though.
They use the idea of institutional racism/sexism (Y'know, Power+Prejudice), and apply it too all racism and sexism (When in reality, racism and sexism only require Prejudice to exist).

Many of those here who keep saying that is the work of some unknown feminist agenda are jumping to conclusions and connecting dots that should remain separate.
You mean besides hiring a feminist company with a radical feminist director to shoot the ad? Those dots?

That doesn't mean they can't be called out for what they are i.e. racists and sexists when they're very literally going down a Hitlerite line of reasoning for exacting """revenge""" against specific groups of people.

I know, I personally enjoy calling out their racism and sexism.
But as mentioned before, all they do is scream at me for mentioning that.

Watched the video. Liked the message even if I hate the fact that it's, in fact, a Gillette ad. Didn't feel attacked.
Also, if you're going to keep verbally abusing me, just know that my safeword is "petunia".
