Keyboard warrior: Someone with a bad weapon. Or a good weapon, if it is the instrument rather than the typing device.

The same thing with Social Justice Warriors. It makes it sound like they're heroically standing against injustice.
That's the core of the insult - that's what the people think they're doing, when what they're really doing is fellating their own ego.

That's right. The terms "social justice activist" or "social justice campaigner" are never used as insults. And that gets to the heart of what the term SJW as a pejorative means and why it's different from those two terms. It means someone who's jumped on a bandwagon and is self-righteous about it.

It's the same type of insult as "bible basher" to describe overly zealous Christians (new converts?) who constantly try and convert people and have a big ego because they're the true believers and everyone else has those inferior everyday beliefs. It's the innate sense that they think they're better than everyone else because they jumped on whatever specific bandwagon they happen to have decide is the "one true belief system". Bible Bashers and Social Justice Warriors are actually virtually identical. Both are the same in terms of psychology. If you switch out the right nouns/phrases you could convert utterances between them seamlessly. It's just human psychology: groups and belief systems, they are all prone the same human foibles. There's nothing "special" about religion. Thus, other types belief systems can also fall prone to the same foibles that beset religious belief.

You can find the exact same flavor of asshole in virtually any context. Their are self-righteous assholes about D&D stuff, there are self-righteous assholes about Linux stuff, there are self-righteous assholes about Christianity. SJWs just happen to be the exact same type of asshole, but they've chosen that thing to obsess over. If you twitter-mob someone for saying the wrong words then that's not "brave", sorry SJWs. That's hiding behind mob bullying.

On the plus side, you can call the Religious Right SJW's.

"Jesus would totally want us to make political decisions based on religion to the detriment of everyone else!"

"SJW..."

The difference between a SJW and a human rights activist is that one of them is annoying, insufferable, ineffectual, and has holier-than-thou attitude that makes them attack anything they see as bigotry, even if a sane person really wouldn't see it as that. Hint: It's not the activist.

In some cases activitsts are the worst. In any suficiently large group you'll always have morons, it's a given.

But as pointed out most religious pricks the recently converted or "found again the path" or something along those lines. Generally people born into a religion will just roll with it and leave others alone unless born with the trait Zealotry wich gives them +2 on conversion.

In the South, full of fundies taught from birth, I haven't found that to be the case. They all seem pretty zealous and control-grabby. I'm just going off anecdata though.

Same in Russia. We have a lot of Orthodox fundamentalists.

I guess the insult is lesbian: manly, homosexual male: womanly. It's more surprising to me how lesbian isn't pejorative. Somehow I'd like to see Clyde & Boner patroling the streets. Two adult men are more than likely to be able to beat up your "core family".
Who the fuck are Clyde and Boner, and why are they beating up an employee's spouse (including common-law spouse), children and children of?

Randomly- any grammar nazis able to lend a hand?
I've got ^ these things in my writing. They seem to occupy some weird space between a comma and a bracket. Especially for -in the case of formal writing- adding in extra bits which might be out of sequence in a sentence, but are 'more important' than bracketed stuff.

I think they're illegal? But I keep using them because I don't know of anything better. Are they kosher? Should I be using them? I don't want to lose marks because professors are reading my stuff and going 'wtf is with all of this dude's hyphens?'
