That doesn't actually mean "SJW" doesn't exist though. It means it's a label for a certain type of person, albeit flexible.

Nobody identifies as racist or sexist, but those labels still exist.

That is a really silly distinction, and borders on intellectual dishonesty. Even if you disagree with the popular idea of what an "SJW" is, its still not imaginary

So does sexist and racist. Even on Reddit

Percieved "ists" become part of the opponents identity, so much so that these perceptions flat out get you booted from subreddits because they view you as a toxic person.

It's used to shut down discourse, similar to SJW is designed to do for Those who use it.

This is fundamentally part of what inflated KiAs (and gamergates) growth,the mass labeling of people as an identifier, as racist or sexist.

Now, neither of those two sides are imaginary. More abstracts, but still very much real.

I have similar issues with labeling kia as anti-intellectual when it's far from the case. Sciences, maths, philosophy, ect are discussed with some regularity in the comments, and clear value is placed in it.

A more accurate term would be anti-pseudo-science.

I think, at the end of the day, these disagreements are a matter of personal views and such. Interesting to read, for sure.
