I fit the internet SJW stereotype to an uncomfortable degree, but I don’t really identify with it (which makes sense, given that it’s a shallow idea of a person designed by people who dislike them).

At the same time, I absolutely do not fulfill the stereotype of the American in Germany, and people are often very surprised when they hear that I am.

Do you fit or break a lot of stereotypes?

your obsession with labels is def on par for the streotype of a SJW.

everyone i know who is one IRL is obsessed with labels and labels everyone else and themselves and acts upset if you don't buy into their labeling nonsense.

I’m not personally big on labels (that’s part of why I’m not sure of my gender- I just don’t really care how people perceive me, so it doesn’t seem like a priority), nor do I ever introduce myself like the above irl. Very few of the people in my life are aware of all of the above, but it’s relevant for the post, so I looked for all the labels that fit.

This isn’t a topic that consumes me, it just occurred to me that I check off a lot of boxes even though I don’t think I seem to.

you're not 'big on labels', but you used like 20 of them in reference to yourself....

you don't see the hypocrisy here?

I’m aware of labels, but don’t typically use them, unless they’re relevant, like here. Not sure where you’re seeing hypocrisy, but it seems like you’re reading a lot into this that isn’t there.
