This post doesn’t relate to a specific day in history, but I feel it needs saying regardless.

If you’ve been around the Internet at all, you’ve probably noticed people using the term “social justice warrior” as an insult. These people are schmucks. Allow me to demonstrate.

These people, and legions more both heralded and unheard of, have fought and continue to fight to make the world a more just and equitable place. None of them were or are perfect, of course, but their flaws did not and do not detract from the amazing work they have performed. And in these people’s mighty company, I would never count myself ashamed.

So tell me; how is being a “social justice warrior” supposed to be a pejorative thing?
