What is the "SJW-radar" (or "wokedar")?

Back in slightly more innocent times, in the 90's and very early 2000's, there was a semi-humorous neologism coined by some people (more on the moderately left side of the political compass): "Gaydar."

They used the neologism to refer to that instinct that one gets that a person might be homosexual even if he or she doesn't outwardly indicate it very obviously. Many people who interact with or watch a lot of people who are homosexual might form this kind of instinct, which might catch on very minor subtle cues and hints on how the person looks, speaks and behaves, the manner of speaking, the tone of voice, the words and expressions, the small mannerisms and gestures, the outwards appearance of the person. It's like they have a biological "radar" that just detects hidden "gayness" in people, even when they don't obviously show it outwardly.

Well, I have coined my own similar term more recently, and that would be "SJW-radar", or if you want, "woke-radar", or "wokedar".

Oftentimes when watching people eg. on YouTube or Twitch, even if the person is relatively normal-looking, speaks relatively normally and the subject of the video or stream has nothing or very little to do with politics, one just gets that instinct, that intuition, that hunch, that the person might be a far-leftist activist, ie. a social justice warrior, ie. "woke". And, in some cases, "trans" (which in 99.99% of cases automatically means being a SJW, with only a small handful of exceptions.)

Sometimes it's more obvious, as such people often express their activism with outwards appearance, like certain hair styles, coloring one's hair, and other visual clues. Othertimes it's not so obvious, but one still gets that instinct, that hunch. There just is something about the person, how he or she looks, talks, behaves, the little mannerisms, the way of speaking, the choice of words...

Quite often this can be corroborated by checking the profile of the person in question: If pronouns, flags and/or "sexual orientations" appear, you immediately know you were right.

And I have been right surprisingly often. It just works. Even when the people in question are not obviously far-leftist zealots, there still is just something about most of them that gives me that hunch. Yes, sometimes it can be unclear (particularly if they haven't linked to their profiles, or the profiles lack pronouns), but it works surprisingly often.
