This is a bit of a stretch for your first thread.
Keep in mind the "Warrior" part is the word that mocks them, it's not noble.
It implies that they are delusional since they see themselves as courageous heroes and fighting for morality while we just see them as white knights.
I didn't want to run the risk of starting a dupe thread.
The implication of "warrior" that you described is too much of an inside joke that fails to stab at the SJW's heart. That same reasoning could be applied to why Republicans think calling a leftist a "liberal" is a pejorative.
It's only a pejorative to someone who wants to be considered a rightist.
But on the other hand you have the leftists, who understand how to use language, calling the republicans "racists" and "teabaggers".
Even white knight isn't an effective insult, since it only has a negative *implication* within the manosphere but not to anyone on the outside. Teabagger on the other hand, is explicit and everyone understands that it's an insult.
