I found it a bit ironic that in your comment you use the term "SJW", which literally has no function or meaning except as a dog whistle. The only way you could turn the idea of "someone who fights for justice" into a curse word is through the syntactic trickery of initialism, a diminution which lets speakers use their shared scorn as a shibboleth. It's the textual equivalent of repeating what someone else said in a "baby voice", in order to make fun of them.

Apropos of the article, I have been living in China for fifteen years (left the US a few weeks before 9-11), and am preparing to move back in a month. Everyone tells me I'll have reverse culture shock, and I guess I believe them, but I don't really know what to prepare for. Apparently I'll have to prepare for more people talking in baby voices.
