This term is used to describe someone who is like a
SJW (social justice warrior), but doing it for all the wrong reasons. Mainly refers to terminally-online Twitter freaks that blindly defend someone who more than likely deserved to be called out and critized for their behavior for attention/brownie points. These same
people who, when they proven wrong on every facet, they go into damage control mode, falsely label it as something that it's not, lock their Twitter replies, set their Twitter account to protected mode, or all of the above.
Short for "social justice
retard", this term was coined by Ember Paradox in a
YouTube video titled "They're not doing '
girl gamers' ANY favors here", talking about problematic behavior in the e-sports/gaming space.

No, it's not
SJW - I upgraded the acronym
SJW, 'cause they are not social justice warriors, they are SJRs (social justice retards).
We have upgraded the acronym now. SJW is in the past, SJR is in the now.
