About
Oppressed SJW is an image macro born during the GamerGate controversy. On October 9, 2014, a social justice warrior created an image macro called Oppressed GamerGater in an attempt to mock the side of the controversy that identified as “GamerGaters.”
Users of 8chan quickly got wind of this attempt to force a meme, and decided to hijack it and turn it into around and mock the social justice warriors instead.
Over 1,000 memes were created in a short time, including a few obligatory bane posts, ensuring much hilarity and anger from the SJW’s.
Origin
A social justice warrior Brianna Wu tried to spread a forced Oppressed Gamergater meme on twitter. A poster on 8chan’s /gg/ board learned of the forced meme and suggesed 8chan users either report the image macro to get it deleted or hijack it for 8chan’s own purposes. Other users of 8chan quickly agreed that hijacking the meme would be the funnier option.
