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!"

In the ultimate act of social hypocrisy, pulling an SJW (short for social justice warrior) is the act of participating in social justice movements for the purpose of masking ones own societal abuses, in order to present the image of justice without actually contributing to it. Most likely to be perpetrated by feminists of the intersectionality variety, but really anyone can pull an SJW if they act like a beacon of social progress in their community, all the while spending time in their private lives being the perpetrators of the very abuse they claim to fight.
It really sucks having to live in a world where all of these social justice warriors go out and vandalize property in the name of communism, only to then go and buy a moca vente frappucino at Starbucks while texting on their iPhones. Talk about pulling an SJW.

Doug: Did you hear what happened to Timmy?
Joe: No, what happened?
Doug: He killed himself after an SJW Dogpile got on him for being a straight, white male.

1. Annoyed that SJWs and political correctness are becoming ridiculously dominant in society, anti-SJWs find their oversensitivity to perceived racism/sexism, their resulting overreactions and ever-changing euphemisms to be tiresome.
2. Living proof that people who fight monsters can become monsters themselves, anti-SJWs are people who have become so immersed in their perpetual battle against SJWs that they themselves have become equally prone to knee-jerk overreactions. They can't watch a movie or even a trailer without somehow making it about their conflict; whatever they're doing, if there is a way to make it about political correctness and their fight against it, they will find it. Many also defend racism and sexism by dismissing legitimate objections as political correctness. They imagine the entire world to be the part of their "war" against SJWs, so it is useless to suggest that they are going too far - they will simply accuse you of being an SJW trying to bring them down and control them because....reasons.
3. Racists and bigots who opportunistically jump onto the anti-SJW bandwagon as a way to gain supporters and justify their behaviour.

1. Look, I'm all for supporting handicapped people, but calling them "differently-abled" seems a bit overboard, don't you think? I get that sexism is a legitimate problem, but the movie poster is just a poster promoting a movie, it's not saying men are better than women. What am I supposed to call black people who are neither African nor American? Some SJWs may have good intentions, but I can't help but feel more anti-SJW at this point.
2. Look! This movie has a black lead! That's obviously SJW propaganda! Hey, this female character is slightly more competent in a certain field than the male character? She is clearly a damn Mary Sue! How dare they! Enough with this politically correct nonsense! Just a movie? It's not just a movie, it's obvious SJW propaganda! I'm not overreacting! SJWs are everywhere...what? Anti-SJW? Stop calling me names! You are just an SJW who wants to censor everything! It can't be because I'm becoming the very thing I'm fighting! You nigger! What? Racist? Hate speech is wrong? Hah! I knew you were secretly an SJW! EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING IN THIS WORLD IS PART OF OUR WAR! IF YOU'RE NOT RACIST OR SEXIST, THEN YOU ARE A POLITICALLY CORRECT SJW!
3. Hey, have you heard about this group called anti-SJWs? It's awesome, now I can be as racist and sexist as I like; if anyone stops me, all I have to do is complain about SJWs and political correctness, and hordes of people will swarm in to defend me!

That guy never shuts up about SJWS, and brings them up all the time. Any time someone or something shows even the slightest bit of left leanings (inclusivity, sensitivity, defiance of masculine cliches, awareness of issues that he feels are weak). Being an Anti-SJW, he never realizes that he too is rallying for social justice. His own. Anti-SJWs are social justice warriors that espouse the same justice.
