SJWs - Freedom Fighters or Horrible People?

[Mehmentum]

I voted FF, but with some caveats.  At the core, the issues that SJWs raise are justified.  Racial inequality is a huge problem.  Sexual assault and rape are huge problems.  I find pickup artists and the like repulsive.  There are large swathes of the world where things are far worse for LGBT, minorities, and women than in the US.

Unfortunately, the SJW movement is horrible at marketing itself.  SJWs often end up being divisive.  Some of it is that they're way too reliant on a lot of terms that no one who isn't a SJW uses.  Some of it is that they can be too broad and overgeneralize when talking about societal problems.  Some if it is that they focus too much on relatively inconsequential issues, like non-binary gender pronouns. 

These problems are mostly a consequence of these people living in a bubble.  At this point, sites like tumblr are almost an echo chamber.  I'm pretty active on tumblr, and that's what it seems like to me.  Yes, there are some MRAs looking to pick a fight, but these people are almost caricatures of themselves, they are hardly capable of presenting a well-reasoned reality check.
