So is it like a term you use to express your dissatisfaction with what you feel mainstream left wing politics has become?

Like all labels, it's designed to describe a group of people. "Social justice warriors" in itself does not sound very negative, although it's used as an insult, because there are a lot of people on the internet who just call other people bigots/racists/sexists even when, in my opinion, it's completely uncalled for.
Same goes for "regressive left", as those people usually identify themselves with left wing politics, and call themselves "progressive", sometimes not even understanding the basic concepts like free spech.
