SJW
Social Justice Warrior. A pejorative term for an individual who repeatedly and vehemently engages in arguments on social justice on the Internet, often in a shallow or not well-thought-out way, for the purpose of raising their own personal reputation. A social justice warrior, or SJW, does not necessarily strongly believe all that they say, or even care about the groups they are fighting on behalf of. They typically repeat points from whoever is the most popular blogger or commenter of the moment, hoping that they will “get SJ points” and become popular in return. They are very sure to adopt stances that are “correct” in their social circle.
The SJW’s favorite activity of all is to dogpile. Their favorite websites to frequent are Livejournal and Tumblr. They do not have relevant favorite real-world places, because SJWs are primarily civil rights activists only online.#1:
A social justice warrior reads an essay about a form of internal misogyny where women and girls insult stereotypical feminine activities and characteristics in order to boost themselves over other women.
The SJW absorbs this and later complains in response to a Huffington Post article about a 10-year-old feminist’s letter, because the 10-year-old called the color pink “prissy”.
#2:
Commnter: “I don’t like getting manicures. It’s too prissy.”
SJW: “Oh my god, how fucking dare you use that word, you disgusting sexist piece of shit!”

(or, Stanning the Stannis Stans Edition)
15 years ago, the Targaryen family’s political machine was taken down by the combined forces of the Baratheon and Stark-dominated justice department, and a healthy dose of Lannister cash. Now, city mayor Robert Baratheon has died under a set of strange circumstances, and five new contenders have arisen from the corrupt and sleazy political world of Westeros to take his place.
exhibit A: Renly Baratheon, the charming and good looking younger brother, District Attorney of Westeros, launches his campaign amidst sparkling lights and a very public engagement to the prettiest young socialite in Westeros, Margaery Tyrell. Her brother Loras becomes intimately— in more ways than one, if the tabloids can be believed— involved in Renly’s campaign in the bargain.
exhibit B: Stannis Baratheon, denied the seat of D.A. and relegated to being Chief of Police with headquarters at the outskirts of the city in the old tower of Dragonstone, seeks the help of an Asshai fortuneteller named Melisandre to investigate both his older brother’s death and help take down his younger brother’s campaign, much to the chagrin of smuggler-turned-cop Davos Seaworth, and half the force besides.
spent a good part of the day thinking this up. modern aus are a thing of mine, what can i say.
some starks and lannisters later.
Same here.I’m curious how many people have, because it feels like I’m the only one.
re-reading after more than a decade, actually.
More times than I can count
And loved every moment, and read it to a little lad in a reading program, and like it better than LOTR.
I read it when I was in 7th grade. I forced myself through it and I can’t remember a single thing that happens aside from “There were dwarves.”
My dad read it to me when I was 9 and I’ve read it many times sense. It and LOTR (along with Chronicles of Narnia) hold an incredibly special place in my heart for that reason.
