SJWs are a virus they infect hobbies and institutions from the top down insinuating themselves into positions with authority or platform that don't actually require expertise or participation in the subject the space is about, ie, journalists, moderators, critics and become the de facto gatekeepers of a space they aren't truly part of, that's phase 1 and it usually happens before anybody even realizes that they're there phase 2 is the systematic weeding out of dissent, aggressive promotion of fellow clique members and narrative-compliant material while ignoring cocks that isn't produced by their own people or echoing their views is one major component of this so is silencing of cocks creators who dissent from their narrative by painting their work as "problematic" and occasionally through baseless accusations about the creators in real life, particularly of rape, being repeated and "signal boosted" as fact, finally they begin pruning the community at ground level, banning or otherwise ejecting members who hold the "wrong" views or speak out against the clique, or shaming them until they leave voluntarily, usually this begins with the shaming and removal of a few obvious bigots or bad actors whose presence is then used to justify a "safe space" policy of ever-increasing strictness as they slowly move the goal posts of what constitutes the policy's nebulously defined "hate speech" or similar clause while engaging in mass-gaslighting of the community by using moral panic and convincing as many people as they can that the dissenters are oppressing and marginalizing them within the community and they should be afraid of them, both making them feel dependent on the SJWs to "protect them" and converting a portion of the community into SJWs themselves, slowly introducing their rhetoric and newspeak as phase 2 progresses, teaching the community to speak and think in their prescribed terminology as they take control of the conversation by hijacking the very language that it's held in SJW infection is usually widely discovered by the community at some point in phase 2 and how early or late this happens can determine whether or not it's held back and the community survives, or if it progresses to phase 3, the end stage of SJWitis is usually terminal this is the restructuring of the infected space from its original purpose into a tool for indoctrination and propaganda, phase 3 infected hosts are highly contagious, anyone who attempts to enter the community or consume its product now risks indoctrination, and the original SJW infiltrators will probably feel their job is done and be looking to move on to new communities and repeat the process by phase 3, active dissent has been silenced within the community, all remaining members are either SJWs or neutral participants either too afraid to speak up or sufficiently out of touch that they haven't noticed the change at this point, the SJWs begin witch hunting among both the neutrals and their own ranks to weed out the ideologically impure, instituting progressively more extreme and overt requirements for members to prove their dedication and fanaticism towards the cause or be shamed and removed, while the Oppression Olympics get fully underway as the SJWs fight among themselves to establish a hierarchy within the new order, the space starts rapidly shrinking, its hostility to new people and new ideas, obvious radicalism and sharp decline in quality of work product mean far too few new people are entering the community to keep up with its rapid purging of existing members, who become so busying avowing their loyalty to social justice, discussing social justice issues to prove their cred or malign their rivals and jockeying for oppression points that the original purpose and focus of the community is forgotten, the SJWs declare victory and many lose interest or move on to repeat the cycle in other communities and all that's left is a hugbox to die either of disinterest, irrelevance or drama unless drastic action is taken to save the patient in the form of a massive last-minute pushback by exiled dissenters and neutrals who suddenly wake up en masse exiled members of SJW infected communities may attempt to resurrect their lost space in the form of a walled garden community that has developed strong antibodies and is now usually immune to further infection but the SJWs now controlling the original space will label any such competitor as a hate group comprised of right-wing nutjobs and throw all their resources into preventing the new community from gaining traction or mainstream acceptance, whether such new communities thrive or die can often depend on whether, in their efforts to immunize themselves against reinfection, members become insular and paranoid, preventing the new community from growing and becoming a mirror of the intolerance that drove them from their original home or are able to learn from the old community's failure while remaining openminded and welcoming.
