Let's respect the guidelines and not go into politics. I didn't want to touch down on politics and I think using SJW can be non-political. I understand you don't. Discussing that would be political.

> I think using SJW can be non-political

It is, by definition, a term that's inherently a political reference.

As in, that's literally in the dictionary definition: https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/us/social_justi...

> derogatory, informal

> A person who expresses or promotes socially progressive views.

The oxford definition doesn't really capture the common usage of the term:

" calling someone a social justice warrior implies that the accuser thinks the other person is an unreasonable, hostile, and self-interested internet user with a progressive agenda. " -- https://fee.org/articles/how-the-term-social-justice-warrior...

[crooked-v]

True, but I think the dictionary definition is plenty to cover 'inherently political in some manner' on its own.

You're creating a political discussion by refusing to drop a VERY politically loaded term from your discourse and claiming you're using it non-politically.

Isn't this entire thread evidence enough that the term is loaded and distracting from your main point?

This is a weird hill to die on.
