Can you provide an example of a prominent, influential "SJW" who has actually said anything encouraging hatred of straight white men, and can you do so quoting them in their own words with proper context? As a straight white male who is an advocate for social justice, I'd really like to see actual evidence of this phenomena. And do not give me a link to YouTube. I will never watch it. You really aren't picking up what I'm throwing down are you? The SJWs of now are the memes that we see. That red haired girl with the ugly face. The blonde with the glasses looking like she's about to spit on someone. The girl that's against video games for how she sees them treating women. Those are just crybabies. Those are the loudest ones giving what were the actual social justice warriors a really bad name and making it a negative thing to be. People that actually go out and fight for other peoples rights. It's almost as if they are trying to make it that speaking out against something unjust is a bad thing. What I'm picking up here is that no one here who complains about SJW's can back up their complaints with specific examples of actual unreasonable statements made by real people.

You know damn well that if the X-Men comics were released in this day and age or if that Captain America comic where he punches Hitler was released today, there would be an outcry about how Marvel is "SJW" and too political.
And don't get me started on Wonder Woman. A feminist superhero? Oh man the internet would go nuclear.

Modern sjws are those arguing and protesting about the most stupid, trivial things like mankind should be renamed peoplekind, fat people shouldn't be shamed, little girls should not be allowed to wear pink, public toilets should have a unisex option, boardrooms should be representative, trans people should be able to compete in Olympics, universities should have safe spaces; etc etc the list goes on. Traditional superheros fought for real injustices involving racism and totalitarianism.

The use of language is continually evolving - take a look at the evolution of the word "gay," for instance. SJW means something different now compared with 25 years ago.

The words "social justice warrior" sound good on paper, but has picked up a lot of negative connotations over the years. It's kinda like feminism in that regard. A lot of people associate all sjw's with just hating white men. Your assessment is correct, but that assessment is in and of itself incorrect. We don't hate white men. We just point out inequalities. Unfortunately a good many of those inequalities were perpetrated BY white men and mostly to the benefit OF white men. It should also be pointed out that a good many SJW's ARE white men.
Another myth is that liberals hate America. Again, not true. In fact its the reverse! Its BECAUSE we love our country that we practice our American right to protest and speak out. It is American and patriotic to stand up against your government when its wrong, and to speak out against injustices. As Americans we're SUPPOSSED to do that. Or else what are free speech and freedom of the press for?
People seem to think that SJW's and liberals just like complaining for no reason and we want more than what we deserve. Again, not true. We are just trying to even an unfair playing field. If people understood that I think we'd all have far fewer problems. But instead there are those who want to cling to the status quo...
Don't want women getting uppity? Tell them to shut up. Don't want blacks in your neighborhood? Accuse them of being criminals and use that as an excuse not to let them move in. Don't want the poor taking your riches? Pay them under minimum wage while giving yourself tax breaks. Don't like brown people? Accuse them of taking your jobs and build a wall to keep them out. Its all text book.
Now, in every camp, far left or far right, or far-whatever, there are nut job extremists. Those people need to shut the fuck up. When you're extreme anything you need to shut the fuck up. LOL

superheroes were more freedom fighters and civil rights champions than SJW. SJW makes no sense because 2 wrongs don't make a right. Your assessment that SJW's are perpetrating a 2nd wrong in order to correct the 1st wrong is incorrect. SJW's are calling out the 1st wrong in the first place. There is no 2nd wrong being committed. Its misinterpretations like that that keep us divided.
Freedom fighters and civil rights champions WERE the SJW's of their day. They saw a SOCIAL INJUSTICE and they acted to CORRECT it.

I can't believe that all of the things that survived the Gamergate controversy it's that stupid "SJW" label.

Instead of making a blanket statement, why not directly address the things Brie Larson has said and done? Explain to people why their complaints are invalid. Explain to me why fighting for Social Justice or being a Social Justice Warrior is a bad thing. At least you seem to recognise that these are two different things. The definition of ‘Social Justice Warrior’ extends beyond its literal meaning. It signifies a person who is hypocritical and generally insincere in their virtue signalling.

As much as I hate agreeing with Power Ranger, I have to admit he has a point. Fighting for social justice does not automatically make one an SJW. For example, let's say someone is fighting against the social injustices that white South Africans face in their home country. That won't exactly make them an SJW.
