Any kind of article that uses term "SJW" (which is almost universally meant to be insulting) is suspect.

Yes term is mostly used as an insult. But there just isnt any other term that would replace it and include all those counterproductive radical left groups that relay on character assassination when faced with logical points they cant refute.

PC culture? regressive left? feminsts? LGBTQIAPK? lefties?

The "social justice warriors" coined the term. Now it is "meant to be insulting"?

Definitely, because it is code for signifying a particular worldview which is dismissive of minorities, and as such is a polemic, not a reasoned argument.
