"SJWs" isn't really a meaningful term. It essentially just tends to mean, in circles among say more centrist/right-leaning folk, people who go 'too far' with social justice, seeking to 'discriminate against men and white people' in favor of women and minorities. This is an inaccurate characterization of the theory behind social justice movements, which instead seek liberation, not further polarization.
That said, yes, ideally socialism is intrinsically tied to pursuits of social justice, i.e. liberation of minority groups and women. There's plenty of great literature I could recommend on this if interested.

Tumblr tends to have more pop-feminist types, who lack the theory behind what's said and instead spout 'hot takes' without much substance behind them - this is pretty much the case for the likes of say Buzzfeed too.
I'd be willing to send some good introductory reading for the theory of both if you'd like, and be willing to talk to you as you read through them. Incidentally I feel that a sort of reading group is the best way to learn about both, given that a lot of the ideas can be confusing when first diving into it - it still can be for me lol.

nah, I get your point... you see, Im a comic artist... and it makes me sad to see a lot of LGBT and SJW related content online becoz.... man, comics should be just about entertainment... somehow it bugs me that these people are using these mediums for their agendas and there are children that reads them...
BTW, I dont dislike LGBTs... its just that, coz of that much content about them, the webcomics art, industry, hobby(basically anything about webcomics) tend to look like somekind of nest for these agendas and it kind of makes me sad in a way.

There's really no 'agenda' behind any of this - for LGBT people, its largely because its one of the few mediums where independent individuals can truly express themselves without worry of institutional discrimination - at least in most cases. There's no agenda behind these comics beyond simply wanting to recognize that LGBT people exist, and that's okay and should be celebrated and welcomed, not tossed to the sidelines. I should know, I'm LGBT myself, and am friends with various LGBT artists and knew various comic artists.
For the "SJW" crowd, the more politicized comics are easy to distinguish from the cut and dry stories, but it ought to be noted that politicized media is hardly a new thing. Various philosophers frequently illustrated their points with works of fiction, for instance Jean Paul Sartre, or even Ayn Rand (if she can be called a philosopher lol). Fiction is just another means to get ideas across, and considering that just about everything that has a degree of subjectivity in it is going to be influenced by the political views of the average Joe and the author - whether its realized or not - it isn't something that's particularly unique to the "SJW" crowd. There's plenty of good reads on the relation of visual media and political activism.
