Amadan, is your point that I’m a misogynistic douchebag? The feministsf wiki says my â€œwork features strong women characters and people of colorâ€.

As for your points:

1. There are conservatives who aren’t “extreme and unpleasant”. That doesn’t make them right.

2. I share the causes of SJWs. It’s extremely possible to share goals and reject tactics.

The fallacy is that you’re drawing a false equivalence. Certainly a lot of SJWs are extreme and unpleasant, but they aren’t all like that, and their cause is, for the most part, righteous. I don’t think you can say any of that about misogynistic douchebags.

I mean, you do realize you’re linking to Will Shetterly, of all people?

Surely it’s only a fallacy if people divide neatly into “Misogynist douchbags” and “Decent guys like us”, but the world isn’t that simple.

I think there’s a fallacy here – social justice is a worthwhile goal, but some SJWs become obnoxious and toxic and use the movement purely as an excuse to exercise their rage at society. But misogyny has nothing to commend it, and misogynists are by definition unpleasant people.
