A little late to the convo but whats a SJW
I may not have answered first, but I have more of an extent to it.
Like what Delishush said, SJW is short for "social justice warrior". Social justice warriors are people who support censorship of everyday words, images, and practices that could potentially offend racial minorities, non-Christians, LGBT, women, poor, obese, and people foreign to the United States, but they take it to extreme cases. No, I'm not referring to the big stuff people consider widely offensive (like slurs, stereotypes, and discrimination). I'm talking little things, like imitation of cultures, references to Christianity, stuff that are irrelevant to other cultures, stuff that would provoke jealously, and stuff that make sense only to the majority groups. Bascially what they call "microaggressions". The problem here is that they only appeal to the groups of people like I listed before and would take it to the extreme, while supporting oppression of what had dominance over American society in the 1900's (whites, men, Christians, rich, and American-born people). Yet, whatever they support censorship of, most of the people they try to appeal to don't even support it. Only the more emotionally fragile people would support it. They also support promotion of diversity in public places and media (which isn't censorship). Diversity isn't a problem. It's when you're forced to promote it that's a problem. They don't even care about practical decisions that would improve a business or movie. In addition, they can be huge hypocrites. For example, they don't want you to say anything that is minorly offensive to LGBT, but they would say majorly offensive things to heterosexuals and cisgendered people. Another example is that they would constantly pull the race card when looking for racial issues in general is racist itself.
And yes, they are mostly the Tumblr community, but not all Tumblr users are SJWs, and not all SJWs even use the internet. I did say stuff about freedom of speech earlier, but I wasn't getting the idea of what it really means. Even so, I don't want people complaining about what I write. I hope my definition is adequate.
