> there's, from my experience, a good overlap between the SJW types, and the people who push for accessibility/ a11y as the coop kids call it

"Pushing for accessibility" is a pejorative now? What in the world is going on in this thread?

No, you’re just assuming it is because it’s next to the word SWJ.

The parent's point is that someone who would self-identify or otherwise be described as SWJ would more likely push for greater accessibility to a fault rather than reduce it for aesthetic reasons. The attack on “SJWs” in the grandparent is misguided because it misunderstands their motivations so completely that it’s clear that the term is just meant as “people I vaguely don’t like and I feel have it out for me somehow.”

Thanks, at least someone got me! I was trying to call out randomly blaming people who, if anything, would be on their side, but it seems like most people misunderstood me.
I never said it was? I said if anything the SJWs they are blaming would be on their side, so it's a weird dig to make.
