A pejorative used by the political right-wing to describe people like feminists, vegans, and other left wing activist. Social Justice Warrior entered into common nomenclature in 2014 during the online harrassment campaign known as gamergate. Since then, an entire brand of right wing "comedy" and various "intellectuals" have emerged and cashed in on the hysteria. Typically this style of content is fed to the viewer through the YouTube recommendation algorithm, which will slowly begin to show the viewer more and more radicalized content- the viewer, having been desentized through exposure, will likely not notice they are being radicalized as they go from "SJW gets REKT" all the way to "IQ differences between the races." This has been termed The Alt-Right Pipeline in reference to the slow transition into Alt-Right Beliefs.

Social Justice Warriors are more or less a fantasy, and one will almost certainly never encounter one of these people in the real world. Often times the Social Justice Warriors online have been found to be the work of internet trolls trying to discredit social activism in general.
