    Hippy, politically correct, feminist, SJW, woke…

    It doesn’t matter how many times you rebrand ~not being an awful person~ people will always make goodness the enemy

        Somehow whenever people bemoaned “social justice warriors”, I always pictured Lex Luthor slandering Superman.

          Except Superman is the role model that SJWs imagine themselves to be, while holding not a single one of Superman’s qualities.

            Any examples? I mostly remember the term being applied to the Greta Thunbergs of the day.

              If your idea of the “Greta Thunberg” is someone who walks into a restaurant and starts to Karen about them serving onions (on behalf of those allergic to onions. They weren’t allergic themselves), then, uh… Sure.

                  Then consider yourself fortunate. Most SJWs go out of their way for these sorts of things for some sort of perceived status. Kinda like an “ethically sourced” label on a product, but as a social thing.
