The problem is that it is not a real category of people. It is simply a way to fire anyone working for social justice. [9] In August 2015, Social Justice Warrior was one of many new words and phrases added to Oxford dictionaries. [1] [15] [16] Katherine Martin, head of American dictionaries at Oxford University Press, said in 2015 that “all the examples I`ve seen so recently praise the person.” [1] In 2015, the Oxford English Dictionary did not conduct a full search for the first use. [1] Merriam-Webster first used the term in 1945. [6] Negative use of the term became common due to the 2014 Gamergate harassment campaign, where it proved to be the preferred term for Gamergate advocates and became popular on sites such as Reddit, 4chan and Twitter. Gamergate supporters used the term to criticize what they called unwanted outside influences in video game media from progressive sources. [1] [13] Martin notes that “the perceived orthodoxy [of progressive politics] has triggered a backlash among people who feel their speech is being watched.” [1] In internet and gaming culture, the term is largely associated with a broader culture war, which included the 2015 Sad Puppies campaign, which impacted the Hugo Awards. [2] [14] A study by Feminist Media Studies found that “the appropriation of SJW as a memetic straw man became commonplace during and after the upheaval of #Gamergate.” [7].
