SIJW

Social Injustice Warrior. A pejorative term for an individual who repeatedly and vehemently engages in arguments on social justice on the Internet, often in a shallow or not well-thought-out way, for the purpose of raising their own personal reputation. A social injustice warrior, or SIJW, does not necessarily strongly believe all that they say, or even care about the groups they are fighting on behalf of. They typically repeat points from whoever is the most popular blogger or commenter of the moment, hoping that they will "get SIJ points" and become popular in return. They are very sure to adopt stances that are "correct" in their social circle.

The SIJW's favorite activity of all is to dogpile. Their favorite websites to frequent are Breitbart and 4chan. They do not have relevant favorite real-world places, because SIJWs are primarily civil rights opponents only online.

Random guy: Another unarmed black guy shot dead by the cops, man that's fucked up. Maybe we should introduce some reasonable policies like training police in deescalation tactics.

SIJW: STFU you feminazi piece of shit ! I can't believe people like you actually want to wipe out the entire straight white male race!

Random guy: Wtf are you talking about ... straight male isn't even a race... and how have you made yourself the victim in this?? I think you need to scale back the Alex Jones buddy

SIJW: FUCK YOU. I'm going to spend my free time sending you death threats and trying to get you fired you libtard cuck ! FREE SPEECH MOTHER FUCKER!

Random guy: I don't think you understand free speech...
