I rememeber 2013 era "Lol look at the SJWs" and it was honestly not much better than now.

That was the origin of attack helicopter jokes, and people seemed conpletely ready to disregard any concept no matter how valid because kids on tumblr didn't have the best understanding of it.

If you're going to gatekeep at least click on their profile.

When I talk about Captain Marvel on Twitter I've also been getting complete randos try to 'well actually' me about it. When I check who they follow we have no mutuals, but they'll always be following somebody like Jordan Peterson which explains that.

I'm pretty sure I got called an SJW in one of the iterations of the movies thread (edit: forgot which thread I was reading!) for being uncomfortable with a vague, throwaway rape joke in the GotG trailer way back around then. Up until someone posted Gunn's old blog where he'd rate the fuckability of superheroes. It's weird looking back on that in retrospect with what ended up happening. I really loved the Guardians films in the end, especially the second which really hit some personal notes for me. And Gunn became such a better person throughout the process. And then gets chased off for becoming an "SJW" himself.

I think the chuds are actually moving away from SJW now? I think the new buzzword is "NPC", for some loving reason.

And yeah anyone actually using SJW as an insult today is almost certainly an utter bellend. Seeing that acronym is usually enough to make me just stop reading a post because I can feel pretty safe assuming they're about to spew a mouthful of bullshit.

Centrists have started using SJW derogatorily, now, too, so I guess chuds have decided it's no longer theirs.

The idea is that the left just repeat the same lines over and over because that's what they've been programmed to think.

It's "sheeple" except for a new generation and somehow even more embarrassing.

Rotten Tomatoes is making changes to stop review bombing of a movie before its release. They don’t actually say Captain Marvel is the reason why, but it’s pretty obvious they’re doing this because of the anti-Captain Marvel brigade.

NPC is the funniest thing to come out of Chudspace this past year cause they super don't know how to implement it. It's a joke only they get, so nobody cares when they say NPC, so you get things like them dressing up as NPCs to...own the NPCs...or defacing a John Oliver billboard by making him look like an NPC but keeping the time and date for his new season on a random billboard that you're now giving more attention. Way to stick it to 'em...I guess.

The best thing is getting them to try and explain it to anyone who isn't into video games. It just becomes sadder and sadder as the person they're trying to redpill looks at them like they're trying to figure out how big a wedgie to give them.

I'm pretty sure the less-chuddy SJW originated before that. Granted, it wasn't around very long before the chuds started stretching the meaning, because it originated in spaces of "Let's laugh at the weird people," which tends to be fairly chuddy if you don't work to drive them away.

NPC also has the undertone of "These people don't matter, so it doesn't matter if they live or die". But yea the irony of NPC branded people just repeating what they're been told is thick and rich like cream cheese icing. I've never seen people so devoid of all original thought then them.

If you see other chud-like behavior, yeah. I used that for a while because I thought it referencing Invasion of the Body Snatchers until someone told me otherwise. It might have been here? If you're not getting any other red flags and it's someone you know, try cluing them in.

The root of the argument, in my experience, has been that they think the fact that they're constantly being called racist/sexist/fascist is indicative of some kind of left-wing orthodoxy that they're daring to transgress against. It is not simply that they're assholes, it's that they have the courage to be assholes, even in the face of such organized opposition.

They stealth launched it for Black Panther after developing it in response for the Star Wars movies. This is something the powers that be at RT were very keen to implement quickly but got held up by NBCU lawyers.
