Bias

[edit]

This article is full of shit. There's so much bias here that I can't even distinguish this from an actual alt-right viewpoint. Why does Wikipedia always constantly side with right-wing biases? Rewrite it all, as it basically feeds towards legitimate terrorism.65.49.155.104 (talk) 23:03, 18 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Can you list any specific examples of items that need to be changed or that represent this bias you are seeing? I know this reply is a bit late, coming a month after the comment, but without specific examples and supporting reliable sources, how do we know what to rewrite?

SJW is not only used as a slur. It is a neutral term regardless of what the oxford dictionary states. Errenneff (talk) 15:35, 13 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Without reliable sources that support this perspective, it cannot be included in this article. Newimpartial (talk) 01:35, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Do you honestly think this site sides with the right? I sure as hell doubt it. If anything, many websites side on with the agressive far left. No wonder Aussie metal band Thylacine wrote the song "Social Justice Wankers"! 49.187.86.179 (talk) 23:28, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with the fact that this article is biased, but not to the right. This article seems more like a liberal rant. Thehistorianisaac (talk) 23:00, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Can you please explain what makes you think this is biased towards a liberal rant? If there really is a bias in this article, said bias needs to be addressed to ensure the bias in the article is fixed to a more neutral POV and currently I don't see any bias on either side.

Intro

[edit]

It would be more accurate to say that a Social justice warrior (SJW) is a pejorative term and internet meme mostly used for an individual who promotes extremist and uncompromising socially progressive, left-wing or liberal views, including feminism, civil rights, gay and transgender rights, and multiculturalism. Chinagreenelvis (talk) 14:17, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Chinagreenelvis This is also what I thought it meant (to an extent) until I read the article and sources which leave out this "extreme" part. Do you have any sources which include it? Otherwise I think (from a quick glance) that the lead accurately reflects the sources. ―Panamitsu (talk) 21:40, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
SJW are not extremists, they are just pictured that way by the alt right ProudWatermelon (talk) 01:01, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
