I think we need to unite and end the term 'Social Justice Warrior". It makes our enemies look like they are fighting for something noble. Instead these groups do nothing but manufacture outrage (cry) and then use intimidation tactics (bully) to get their way.

Note, I did not invent this term. I believe it used for the first time here

But now if you google it you will see many major media outlets have recognized it.

Since not everyone knows what a "crybully" is, I suggest prepending it with the term "PC", which most people are familiar with.

Most people can tell the agenda of "PC Crybullies" from the name alone. Using SJW/Social Justice Warrier doesn't properly describe nor denigrate our enemies.

Can we come to a consensus on this?

This should be moved to the Deep Forum.

Social justice warrior is pretty mocked outside of the SJW circles themselves. Quite frankly, it is already a rather disparaging term if you ask me. I'm not convinced that it needs rebranding. Just like the term "feminist" is always having to be defined by feminists that non-feminists "don't get or understand true feminism". I'd say they are already on the defensive.

One project at a time, please. We are still trying to come to a consensus on high heels.

A good portion of social justice warriors don't like being called social justice warriors. The term already has a taint stuck to it that would be hard to transfer to a new term.

It's kind of like the way Vietnam veterans used to call people they didn't like "Hero". They didn't really think the person that was directed at was a hero, rather it was sarcastically directed at someone they thought was a total shitdick.

SJW kind of works the same way.

"Oooooh, look at the social justice warrior over here."

It's too late for that now. SJWs is the term everyone knows.
There's a book called "SJWs always lie."
Everyone knows what it means.

It's like "manosphere", "alpha", and "beta". Once a term's stuck, it's stuck.

It's basically a sarcastic term.

Like "keyboard warrior"

Basically it implies the person is an overweight slob endlessly ranting on Twitter or internet forms about "racist sexist homophobia", and fancying themselves some type of decorated revolutionary hero taking the fight to the oppressors on the font-lines of a cultural revolution.

Crybully is too indignant, while SJW is at least sarcastic. It's the same logic as "white knight."

This is really not the time for these kinds of threads.

It's best to use SJW, a term that is originally neutral and that they use for themselves (?) and rebrand it with a pejorative connotation, rather than use a term like 'crybully'.
