In general, I think that when someone uses a label to identify a group, people read into it based on whether the label was created by the group that self-identifies with it, or a group that is opposed to it. I think it's very easy to be written off as a mindless hater, if you use a label that was created by the group opposed to something and you are critical of the group. Obviously, with SJW, you have a problem because there's not really a self-identified group with its own term for itself.

I agree with darryl.
Not really sure why people would read into me for using the label based on who invented the label.
It's basically a sneaky justification for generalizing anyone who uses a label that is "in no way just a neutral term", to quote another poster.
