What do you mean with "in the opposite direction"? To me, "SJW" were always an extension of the nerd-mindset, combined with moral superiority. A boring reddit nerd will correct anyone if they claim a tomato is a vegetable, but nobody cares, because it's irrelevant outside of biological taxonomy. The Social-Justice Nerd will point out how historically, different cultures had more than two genders (but of course leave out that these were tied into cast-systems), or how words like master/blacklist/... can be traced back to racist (but actually just slavery, which isn't intrinsically racist) usages. Anyone who has seen them online can see how smug they are about this. You can imagine that every post starts with an "Actually...". What makes them so unlikable, is their insencerity, their superficiality, their pedanticity. Combine this with the "moral outrage business" (>>14) and you get the most annoying pest.
