In liberal media, it is considered a "conservative social-justice warrior" who is defending rather extreme conservative social values, while a conservative media perceives "SJW" as a "liberal social-justice warrior" with rather extreme progressive social values. The perception of SJW is therefore a negative term, used to downplay, insult, or ridicule the opposite political internet user faction. Interestingly, the term "SJW" originates in the late 1990s but turned negative during Gamergate 2014 where it was used to attack liberal online users that defend feminism, but since its meaning became more common sense and is nowadays used for rhetoric attacks on both, the left and the right.
A conservative attacks a liberal: "I'm an sjw that uses twitter and I think I'm helping the world by none stop complaining and witchhunting everything and everyone."
A liberal attacks a conservative: "All those Trump SJWs are so racist."

SJW is an acronym for 'social justice warrior'. It used to have a positive connotation, because social justice is, in and of itself, a good thing, right?
However in more recent times, it's been co-opted by numerous amount of people that the entire rhetoric behind "social justice" has turned wishy-washy. In other words, it's not fresh news. People are getting sick and tired of SJWs who interpret every situation as needing justice, even if it's something as frivolous as a black dude who got a small coffee instead of the large they ordered.
The problem with SJWs in the 21st century isn't their intentions per se (social justice is inherently good), but rather the fact that their constant bickering does absolutely nothing to address or mitigate the REAL inequalities that exist in the world today. And I'm sure that 99% of SJWs have not even had any proper university education in the social sciences, so most of the things they say are coming from their ass. In reality, most SJWs are just on an ego trip, and take to Twitter to brandish their "wokeness".

What a SJW on Twitter would say: "OMFG so this white male employee at McDs gives me the wrong order and when I repeatedly asked for the right order, he became very angry. This is absolutely unacceptable, I am a black pansexual women and deserve to be treated better. #BLM"
What any normal person would say: "Had a bad experience at McDonald's where an employee got angry at me when I asked for the right order. I would've reported to the manager, but he was probably under a lot of stress and pressure so I understand."

Sjw's aka "social justice warriors" are people who act like it's their job to basically just get upset over the slightest things defend every minority even if the situation isn't actually that bad as well as usually hating on white people for no reason (even though they're probably white with blonde hair but don't need to be) and are usually just seen as annoying and idiotic(this is basically how the internet seems to define them even if there is no actual definition right now it is how most people seem to see sjw's).
Hey this crazy "sjw" just called me racist when I didn't even do or say anything that could even be remotely racist?
Hey this "sjw" saying they're an advocate for (insert stupid concept to pander to people here) started attacking and trying to cancel me what do I do?
