SJW = Social Jihad Wacko

I've noticed that many people in the manosphere are using the term SJW to refer to rabid feminists/leftists. That acronym which has come to mean "Social Justice Warrior" does not insult them, but instead reaffirms their anti-civilization ideology. Social = good. Justice = good. Warrior = noble. Why associate the enemy with positive language?

Many of us refuse to call democrats/progressives "liberals" because we know they are not supporters of negative liberties (think freedom from/freedom to opt out), and instead call them leftists, progs, cultural marxists, etc.

Its one of the main reasons why the republican party is shit. They play on their enemy's terms by ceding to their frame. Calling them "liberals" instead of leftists. Saying "gun control" instead of civilian disarmament

I propose that we take the existing acronym of SJW and change it into something else that mocks them. What has come to my mind is Social Jihad Wacko. If any of you have other entertaining SJW word combos please share them.

Social justice warrior has already taken root. It's too late to change it now.

It's all about the connotation and not the denotation. The connotation of "SJW" is considerably worse than its denotation so that's why we continue to use it that way; they become their own parody.

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.

You already said all that, we understand, but I doubt this particular mission to personally re-write red pill vocab will go anywhere.

White Knight is also well understood outside of Red Pill blogs, it's a variation on "white knight in shining armor"

Don't say you weren't warned if you just end up with a reputation for being pedantic.

Generally derisive terms only work to reinforce the belief within the group that's already antagonistic towards whoever you're mocking. Since the common man parrots the mainstream left talking points, they'll laugh at teabagger because they've already been convinced that libertarians are evil tax dodgers who want to take all the money from poor black schoolchildren. Now, since teabagger is describing a homosexual sex act, you could more accurately use it to refer to a gay man derisively, but try making that joke in mixed company and suddenly all those people who laughed at the anti-republican thing are horrified that you'd use such a dismissive and cruel term to describe those noble heroes who simply want the government to recognize their sacred right to squat over one another and orally stimulate each others' scrotums.

You've got to convince the world that SJWs are assholes first. Then everyone will get the joke.

especially since the most "fighting" any of these people have ever done was to put "#XXXX [some lame liberal cause de jour]" on twitter.
