It's from the sea lion's loud-ass "bark". They'll sit in the back of a bay just to amplify that shit out across miles of water.
It's a term for amplifying negative posts in order to generate harassment.
"Normie" and "Cuck" are among the most pathetic words people are unironically spouting lately in the internet.
If that's what it's supposed to mean, it's not actually what the initial Sea Lion comic actually elucidated: http://wondermark.com/1k62/
Don't forget "Kek".
Yeah it's pretty annoying. I find people sticking 'Gate' after everything the most annoying though. Gamergate, etc. Think of something new please.
Its just a part of the bullshit of toxic masculinity.
Stuff like SJW and Outrage Culture are typically used by people who either fall under the umbrella of gamergate or people who don't want their insulated, usually outdated viewpoints challenged by outside thinking.
Constantly casting Refresh on those damn feminists!
What's wrong with man cave?
I think it can be applicable to someone who's clearly patting themselves on the back and think they are making a difference in the world by ranting about a meme that made them upset.
I have *never* seen someone in the use of the internet using SJW in a non-ironic way that wasn't about to go on a prejudiced/misogynistic/racist rant, or was already in the middle of one.
Oh, how about 'Bernie Bros'.
No it's not.
It's just a silly term. I personally don't care to the term, but not because of any gendered. It just sounds dumb.
I'd argue that men with actual man caves are more egalitarian in their thinking. Man caves are a very middle and upper middle class thing and studies have shown that those groups tend to be most progressive in terms of gender politics.
Please tell me your joking?Its just a part of the bullshit of toxic masculinity.

life hack
It's meant to be an insulting term used to describe people that care "too much" about social issues instead of the important things you should get angry about on the internet like video game review scores, completely accurate adaptations of books you like, and whether or not a costumed super hero looks cool enough. The things that really matter.
It's kind of vague and tends to just mean, "You consider issues important that I don't think about at all so you must be some kind of radical extremist." People insist that at one time it was more specific and only referred to a particular kind of progressive, but now it's sort of a catch-all for people you see as too liberal or simply liberal in ways you don't approve of.

Preaching to the converted? SJW became a bannable word on GAF almost immediately after it became a thing.
The funny thing is, outside of GAF, I thought it actually became a pretty useful word to describe the relatively new culture of people who abrasively rage on the internet in the name of liberal issues. I've seen many liberals themselves use it - and not ironically or sarcastically.
Not everyone who is a liberal or in favour of liberal activism thinks the phenomenon of liberal ragers are a good thing.
Yes it is.
"Rgh, this is our refuge from the women, they don't get what's cool to us men, so we gotta keep it in our man cave, last bastion of dudedom". Et cetera.
Just because someone has the financial means to have a space like this doesn't mean it's not a manifestation of gender division.
I think it meant that for a hot-second, but language is fluid and with the internet it changes faster than ever.
Nowadays, it's primarily used by MRA and Gamergate types towards anyone who is even slightly more progressive then them.
"Hipster", due to being so utterly vague. "Pretentious", too, which usually means "I don't want to have to think about this".
The image I have in my head of a man cave is a basement with scantily clad women on the walls, mounted animals heads, and sports stuff everywhere. I think it's the term itself that is the problem. Putting "man" as a adjective tends to denote some stupid idea of masculinity. Having a room for yourself apart from the bedroom you share with your spouse isn't something that needs to be lumped in with toxic masculinity, or anything like that. If you had your own room as a kid was it a "kid cave"? Something like den, personal library, or lounge is a better descriptor.No it's not.

There is another word to go with SJW and Outrage Culture, extremist.Please tell me your joking?
Because just because someone dosen't agree with your extremist viewpoints, dosen't mean there viewpoints are outdated.
It's definitely used by some liberals un-ironically, but I wouldn't say it's useful. Liberal activists bullying people they disagree with is certainly a problem, but using a derogatory term to describe a group of people just makes them angry, not introspective.The funny thing is, outside of GAF, I thought it actually became a pretty useful word to describe the relatively new culture of people who abrasively rage on the internet in the name of liberal issues.

Toxic, poisonous, are valid terms when describing some things that go on for a long period and leads to more problems like a disease. Radicalisation, cults, terrorism, there has to be a long psychological shift like programming/brainwashing in a stable person to go on to do untoward things. Many older people are now much more right-wing than ever before.I hate the word "toxic." Calm down now, you're talking about video games and not a chemical attack.
You do know that people with man caves usually share them with their wives and girlfriends.
It's not a no girls allowed thing.
It's about having a space which the design and decor may be dictated by the guy since traditionally women have had more say regarding a home's decor.
Sorry, but you're immensely mistaken and appropriating inconclusive jumps in logic.
Again, I don't care for the term, but saying it promotes toxic masculinity is a huge leap. GG.

My girlfriend has decorated about 99% of the house with minimal input from me.
My office space is organized to my liking and is the closest thing I have to a man cave. And I plan to have a semblance of a man cave/theater room in my next house.
It's not going to be an anti-woman room at all.
I really have no idea what you're talking about. A man referring to his space of the house that was driven largely by his input (as opposed to the rest of the house) is not inherently some anti-woman sentiment.
Did not know that. The image I have in my head if a man cave is a basement with scantily clad women on the walls, mounted animals heads, and sports stuff everywhere. I think it's the term itself that is the problem. Putting "man" as a adjective tends to denote some stupid idea of masculinity.

I can agree with this. But why does a man cave correlate at all with egalitarianism and progressive gender politics?
How gracious of them.
People affected by outdated social structures can still be implicit in their implementation. There's lots of black cops in the US, but it doesn't explain away severe racial bias.
And you're still defending your point with traditional ideas of gender roles in the home. Not particularly convincing.
social experiment
Man cave is a traditionally yuppie thing. And most yuppies aren't for a regression in gender equality or toxic masculinity. That stats just don't show that.
Yeah, this is a good description. I mostly associate man caves with home theaters.You do know that people with man caves usually share them with their wives and girlfriends.

Bernie Bro is just code for millennial.Oh, how about 'Bernie Bros'.
Its a real thing. The idea of femininity and masculinity are net negatives. They just serve to separate the genders and enforce a hierarchy. "God forbid if a man uses a flower scented shampoo, he needs to use Old Spice Manly Shampoo for Men or else he isn't a real man."I love the irony of those two sentences following each other. Raging at 'SJW' and 'outrage culture', while using 'toxic masculinity'.

Why aren't Men's Rights Activists considered Social Justice Warriors, too?
MRAs have never actually done anything.
Using the medieval warrior imagery, they'd more accurately be compared to the children hiding underground during the war.
