They are a bunch of SJW. I've never understood why that's considered derogatory. I think it's great that there are people who will actually fight for social justice.
The top reasons that SJW carries negative connotations are: • They circumvent the *actual* justice system to perpetrate harm, both on people who have already received a fair trial, and on people who have not yet been tried. • They never seek impartial, dispassionate findings. Their modus operendi is to appeal to the public's ugliest disposition, form a hate mob, and attack anyone and anything they wish to harm, solely to advance their own power.• Never, since the inception of the term SJW, have I heard of any case where the self-identifying SJW promoted peaceful discussion or skepticism in anticipation of facts, only biased opinions and hate. • They use hate speech to label anyone who raises any concerns over their behavior, and defer to their own sexism and racism by identifying individuals on the basis of their gender, racial, and sexual orientation. Having said that, I don't know the organization in question and cannot confirm whether or not they themselves resemble any of the above.
