I can't take anyone who uses the term/acronym "Social Justice Warrior" in a negative light seriously at all.
That's ironic, because, well obvious point is obvious.
Also, I'm told that Social Justice Warrior is being phased out and being replaced by Twitter Lynch Mob.

It makes gamergaters sound less like activists with a cause and more like wannabee supervillians (sworn enemies of those who fight for equality and justice.) Couple that with the typical "activism" methods of gamergate (doxxing, rape threats, disproportionate response to criticism, impassioned long-winded pontifificating about what's essentially a minor-issue, etc) and it's clear that Gamergate doesn't know how to make itself look righteous.
As I'm sure you're aware, the phrase SJW predates Gamergate by at least 5 years. Ironic that you're devoting so much time to pompous derision over a minor point that predates the whole affair, no?

It's like Magneto naming his group "The Brotherhood of Evil Mutants" and commiting acts of terrorism while complaining about how mutants are persecuted.
What was that about disproportionate responses to criticism?

Should this not raise red flags for gamergaters or are they so socially incompetent and/or withdrawn that they prefer to play the bad guy?
It's almost as if you take the phrase Social Justice Warrior as a personal affront.
