Well here then, rocky boy, let me explain it to you to the best of my ability.
You. Are fucking. Boring.
Your writing is sub-par
Your characters are uninteresting and generic.
You have no versatility as a writer or a person
You're not fun to RP with in the fucking slightest.

In a world of plant people, living skeletons, bird people, golems, trolls, fire beings, and crazy magic of all kinds, what do you decide to do?
You play as a fucking generic human mercenary.
Do you know why that is?
Because you can't step out of your fucking comfort zone.
I don't think I've ever seen variation in you characters.
You always do the same fucking thing.
You always have the same, generic responses to absolutely everything, from the same, generic characters, said in the same, generic way. 
It isn't fun.
You aren't fun.

Your writing is garbage
Your RPing is garbage 
You're probably the most uninteresting, generic fucking human being on this planet.
Kill yourself. 

As a response to complaining about him playing a human mercenary, playing the underdog can be quite fun from time to time and maybe that's just what he was doing.

I would give him credit if that's what he was doing and how he was playing, but no, he was just the stereotypical quiet, no nonsense "badass" mercenary type.

put your money where your mouth is, lego

because i dont feel like digging through like, 10 subforums to find his cgharacter sheets.

if you're too lazy to look into it yourself, that's your problem

b its the effort


i dont know who this person is

i dont know what their preferred genres are

i dont know which threads theyre in even if i knew which of the 239487192374 subforums to look for

i dont know what theyve roleplayed on 

its much easier for someone to just cp a link to where a character sheet would be

also implying anyone here could give me problems... funny joke..

i don't care if you don't know where to look 
that's the point where you ask nicely 
you don't call someone else out to do something just because you don't feel like it 
if you're too lazy to do something, don't count on others to be any less lazy; that's an unfair assumption and it's not going to get done like that

as for the problems, i think you must have misread something 
the phrase "it's your problem" implies that it's no one's problem but yours 
created by you, and gone through by you. 
no one gave you any problems- it's your own fault that you're too lazy to look. 

is that better understood, or should i dumb it down some more until it's at your level to understand? ...does fifty feet underground sound okay?

Huh, so you did. Whoops.
Then again to be fair, how many people here have you not utterly browbeaten? (And I'm sure Happy, after the nonsense he has pulled here in the past, isn't on that list.)
Regardless, my point was that the needless scrutiny probably took more time to type up than a quick search would have.

And to put my money where my mouth is, links fixed. Still kind of older, but whatever.

A much older word than you think it is.

books.google.com/ngrams/graph?year_start=1800&year_end=2008&corpus=15&smoothing=7&case_insensitive=on&content=sjw&direct_url=t4%3B%2Csjw%3B%2Cc0%3B%2Cs0%3B%3BSJW%3B%2Cc0%3B%3Bsjw%3B%2Cc0%3B%3BSjw%3B%2Cc0%3B%3BSJw%3B%2Cc0%3B%3BSjW%3B%2Cc0

Seriously, who the fuck was using the term in 1800?

Edit: I just expanded the timeframe and it was more commonly used in 1700 than it is nowadays. It must have another definition that most people don't know about nowadays and that's not in any dictionaries that I've looked in, right?

Yeah, I noticed that, too. Either it resurfaced somehow, or it was unknowingly made a new definition. Either way, it's pretty interesting.

look man, i'm sorry for insulting your intelligence earlier with the whole "fifty feet underground" remark, but really, i don't know why you're getting so salty over it

but between the namecalling and unwarranted accusations- not to mention claims at logic while clearly only using emotional appeal to support your statements, and the childish insistence that you're the most clever kid in the whole school- i can only assume that you have replaced your brain with a sack of rocks. 

excuse me, however. i'd rather not speak with you again, as it's a waste of my time. seeing as you seem to think i'm even less intelligent than you- which is a pretty big accomplishment, but i digress- i doubt you would find it worthwhile to keep talking to me, as well. i would at least hope that is the case, or i fear you just might prove your own stupidity in continuing what surely must be a useless task not worthy of any effort you give. 

whatever the case may be: i, myself, don't plan on talking to you again, as i'd rather spend my time in ways other than talking to the equivalent of a bag of rocks. if you do try to get a response, you'll most likely be left there standing alone and looking like a fool.

That's because there's a word in Cornish spelt in the same way as "pokemon" (with a completely unrelated meaning) and at around that time there were popular cornish revival efforts including a number of English/Cornish dictionaries.

Edit: I read that somewhere a while back but, upon looking for where I had read that, I can not find my source and "pokemon" is apparently not a word in Cornish according to online dictionaries.

Possible things it could stand for

I'm currently looking into one or two of the more likely ones to see if that'll reveal anything, but in the meantime, if you'd like to look into it yourself, go on ahead.

Note: Wikipedia isn't the most trusted of websites, no, but it does carry some obscure information that may prove to be useful- one example being alternative meanings for "sjw."

Alright, after searching the list, I've been able to do some fruitful research.

I'll start off with the (approximate) founding years of each of the items listed in the previous attachment.
(And yes, I am aware that some of these are obviously not from the 1700s, but I'm still including them since they were present in the original list.)

Social Justice Warrior: 1824 -Eliminated
Shawnee language: 1650 -Possible
Shijiazhuang Zhengding International Airport: 1995 -Eliminated
Sino-Japanese War (1): 1894 -Eliminated
Sino-Japanese War (2): 1937 -Eliminated
Sir James Whitney School for the Deaf: 1870 -Eliminated
SJW Corp: 1866 -Eliminated
Stanford Jazz Workshop: 1972 -Eliminated
St. John's Wort: 400 B.C. and earlier -Possible

Color-coded for both my convenience and whoever reads this. 


So, after just date-checking, there are only two possibilities left: Shawnee language, and St. John's wort. 

Shawnee language is hardly recorded at all, and I don't see any reason that people in the 1700s would suddenly be very concerned with that language in particular, enough to commonly use an acronym for it and have that huge spike in usage, so it's probably not that.

Saint John's wort, meanwhile, is a much more likely option. It's obviously been around a long time, so it's not impossible for it to have been something mentioned a lot in the 1700s. It's considered a healing herb, calming things like depression and anxiety. It was also highly regarded as a holy and mystical medicine way back in time, believed to ward off evil spirits and such. Overall, it was thought to be a sort of miracle drug, so it's quite possible that it gained some extra popularity around the 1700s carrying the title of "miracle drug" or something akin to that. 

I searched the ngram for Saint John's wort and compared it to that of sjw, just to see if they correlated at all.
Here's the results.

Sjw wasn't used until after a sudden surge of popularity of Saint John's wort in around 1638-1652, but in 1693, the acronym appears. I'm wondering if it was used as a shortened name for the herb. It doesn't make perfect sense, but the two terms do show up roughly in the same period, and compared to all of the other possibilities I've looked into, this seems to be the most likely.

Of course, the term "social justice" also pops up around the same time as Saint John's wort does the first time in that timeline, but the full term "social justice warrior" gets no mentions in the timeline whatsoever. I didn't include those two in the link, but if you care to look for yourself, the search bar's right there waiting for you. 

Both "Shawnee language" and "Shawnee" only yielded one result each, and it was after the surge of "sjw", so I think that one can be ruled out. 


Some articles on Saint John's wort, if you're interested:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypericum_perforatum -Not as fascinating as the latter, but it's not boring and offers some useful information.
www.herballegacy.com/Nelson_History.html -Far more interesting, in my opinion. More based on its history than its current medicinal purposes and side effects.
