What was your post supposed to signify? That I should somehow feel bad because I express my freedom of speech on the internet? I didn't quite understand what you'd be getting at otherwise since you explicitly stated that using the word is due to one's own biological insecurity and own ignorance of social structures. Which 99% of the time, the word is used because it's funny. You don't seem to have that sense of humor, but that doesn't mean it's a bad thing.

You Mr. Point.

"loudly judging you in a social context" it's the definition as it pertains to the internet

nothing wrong with SJW's, free speech goes both ways

i actually agree with a lot of what Xurtio has said tbh. i stopped using the word irl after I turned like 14. i didn't say it for the longest time online either but after coming to this site and seeing it so much it just naturally became a part of my vocabulary. im not really against or for the use of the word, but I certainly don't think anyone here uses it with the intent to harm others.

Whereas I don't feel that at all here so I don't feel the same distaste for throwing around "***got".

If you use that definition, calling someone ***got is being an sjw. I guess a def of sjw is in order though. Imo, it is people who indignantly cause harm on the iternet under the banner of social justice. Thus, "warrior", as attacking is involved.
