The acronym means 'Social Justice Warrior'. Originally meant exactly as what it stood for, but its recent more modern meaning is more derogative/negative. SJW is a label used to refer to anyone who displays behaviour typical to a 'Karen', except unlike the label of 'Karen', SJW isn't so restrictive, in that its not used to refer to a specific cohort of 'Racist, Privileged, Ignorant White women'. Instead, SJW is a much broader term referring to anyone who is irrationally oversensitive to a minor topic and responds to things they don't like with equally pointless, irrational behaviour and outrage. Note: By 'anyone', it means that SJW could be used to describe an individual of any gender, race, or nationality.
Etymology/Origins:
And was originally used in a positive context to refer to an advocate of 'Social Justice'. However, with the advent of Twitter, came its use as a demeaning derogatory term. Originally used only by 'Right-wingers' or 'Conservatives' as a way to insult, discourage, & intimidate 'left-wing' activists/progressives pushing for any form of logical social reforms in a bid to make society a 'better place'. However, in light of the growing improvements and social involvement of internet access, the term has also come to gain traction among the 'Left-wingers' or 'progressives' to refer to overly extreme activists who unintentionally derails their own interests by unnecessarily pushing things too far.

Scenario: An educational high-school field trip to a decommissioned Slave Plantation has been cancelled at the last minute due to bad weather that would've posed a severe safety hazard to the students' safety & well-being.
A normal response: "Bad weather poses a severe safety concern? It's understandable, no big deal."
An SJW's response: "How dare the school cancel the trip on such late notice. It's probably all just an excuse to prevent students from gaining a hands-on POV of slavery. They must be against teaching students about the country's horid history of oppression (Slavery). How are they even qualified to teach? Those racists should all be fired! Everyone needs to stand up against their tyranny. How dare they do this in this day and age, and get away with it!"

sjw is an acronym for 'social justice warrior'. it used to have a positive meaning, because social justice is a good thing, right? but, it seems to offend racist, sexist or homophobic people that they can't get away with hating other people for no reason whatsoever, so they took a classic example of a 'white feminist' (a person who does not include other oppressed groups in their 'feminism') and started calling them sjws, even though that's not the real meaning of the word. words that are frequently associated with the racist,homophobic, sexist definition of a sjw are triggered and such, even though they are as misinterpreted as sjw. in other words, this version of the term is created by people who have nothing else to do with their life than make a false image of the people who are trying to do something good.
someone: lmao i'm not homophobic but honestly gay people are disgusting lol
sjw: pls stop calling people disgusting because they lov-
someone: OH MY GOD STOP BEING SUCH A TRIGGERED DUMB SJW AND GO MAKE ME A SANDWICH1!1!1!

someone you cant have a sane argument. disagree with them and you know you're going to get a lot of emotional overacting. the second you tell them that you dont agree with something they believe in, they will launch a series of personal attacks on you only after giving a wide range of nonsensical arguments. SJWs are not to be confused with feminists or classic liberals. the latter is trying to actually fight for social justice along with which they have respect for the people who dont agree with them
john : "i got into an argument with an SJW"
adam: "oh what was the argument about?"
john: "i was talking about how women-"
adam: "oh yea, i see where it went wrong"

SJW is an acronym for "social justice warrior". SJWs are internet content creators whose content often revolves around issues in our society, sadly, these internet content creators are doing it for clout instead of awareness/acceptance. SJWs will post about the difficulties that minorities face every day, but will shout slurs at minorities when not faced by a camera. You can easily spot an SJW if they are a white person with a ukelele or a self-proclaimed "dancer" that posts almost every hour. when Another term for SJW is "performative activist".
