Someone who believes that women, blacks, muslims, and the LGBTQ community are oppressed and have less rights than white men. A social justice warrior is unfamiliar with the concept of linear time, unable to understand that everyone has had the same rights as white men for generations. A social justice warrior wishes they could have participated in prostests in a time when certain groups actually had less rights than others, so they make up non-existent problems to fight for so that they can feel as if they are doing good for the world.
liberal arts student: did you see those xenophobic police officers shoot and kill that man just because he was muslim?
me: actually, they shot him because he killed 9 people with a machete.
liberal arts student: NO THEY SHOT HIM BECAUSE THEY ARE RACIST WHITE COPS #$% *unintelligible*
me: *sighs* stop being such a social justice warrior.

A social justice warrior (or SJW) is a juvenile coming of age who suddenly discovers there’s injustice in the world and demands to know, right now: “OMG!!! Who let this happen?!!!”
A social justice warrior is a privileged college kid who will leave behind all that injustice on first payday in the financial industry.

To simplify things, a Social Justice Warrior, or SJW, are often thought to ruin everyone's fun and free speech. They force censorship, blame crap on gamers, and other things of this nature. The SJW anthem explains this.
P.S: They're known for getting triggered.

A person or group that goes against people who are socially disliked. They do this for the greater good, even if it is an act that is generally frowned upon by society. Sort of like a social vigilante.
We are social justice warriors because we teepeed that girls house who everyone hates, even if we risk getting in trouble.

A person who believes they are fighting for the people and races seen as the underdogs of the world. And while they might be, they come off as whiney, triggered, and unable to take a joke from everyone else because they were taught that words hurt.
Dude I had to leave a group recently I genuinely loved.
Why man?
Too many social justice warriors get triggered over the simplest jokes on there.

An insult, most commonly used between 2016-2018 for anyone espousing socially progressive views. Used almost exclusively by right-wing chuds who bash so-called “SJWs” based entirely on YouTube compilations of something along the lines of “feminists being owned”.
