Maybe the people I hang out with are unusually literal in their interpretation of words, and ignore people who try to attach negative meaning to perfectly fine words.
This is, to you, evidence that "SJWs" are winning.
To me it's another example of the lies and misinformation spread by misogyinists.
I feel like you are arguing with someone else in your replies to me. When did I ever make a claim that "the SJWs" were winning? Someone asked what the term meant, I took the time to dereference the pointer for them, and provided a bit of the origin of the term.
I also added a bit of snark about how the whole phenomena is a completely normal re-occurring part of American social discourse. The SJWs, prohibitionists, and witch hunts are all a part of the same line of moral panics that eschew logic and argument in favor of emotions and appeals to moral authority. They happen every 3-4 generations in the US, and probably come from the Utopian ideals of the Pilgrims that has evolved into the american progressive movement.
If you're surprised that the people being insulted don't take kindly to it, life is going to be very frustrating for you.
In general the utility of SJW as a label is strongly attached to the fact that the community in which the label originated is not one people wish to be associated with.
No I'm not aware of any example right off the top of my head. I'm sure I could cherry-pick something if I looked hard enough. That's not the point I was aiming to communicate though.
You are quite right that they are involved in an ongoing ideological battle with "the neckbeards" online. Regardless of who tends to use it. The term SJW is pointing to a community that exists on tumblr, that claims to be serving social justice, and holds to a wildly exaggerated definition of basically every term in social science relating to power, oppression, and identity politics. This same community tends to be rather wildly reactive to basically everything that upsets them.
They're a vocal minority, as real as and about as rare as the tea party or rabid Trump supporters.
