I'd estimate that anti-SJW backlash is a minority of the hate against TLOU2, and certainly not the driving force behind the anti-fandom that spawned multiple memes, tens of thousands of review bombs, and a nearly minute-long animation made entirely from parody fanart.  Most of it seems to be largely over dislike of the direction that Druckmann chose to take the story, and the belief that the game's central message falls flat.  There's also the concern over Naughty Dog supposedly mistreating its employees, Sony making frivolous copyright claims to try and silence the leaks, and the perceived hypocrisy of Sony's censorship policies.

You must've not seen the actual Metacritic reviews. There are dozens of people complaining about ND's "wokeness" regarding same sex relationships and transgenderism on there. Personally, my ball's not in the anti-soy/SJW court, but I don't think Naughty Dog handled LBGT representation well in TLOU2. Actually was one of the reasons I voiced my dislike for the game that later had me blocked on Twitter by a 10/10 fanboy despite me falling into the LGBT crowd. Guess you're not allowed to have opinions (especially on topics concerning you) when everything is done "well", "extremely well", or exceptionally well" in the words of said blocker. 

But yes, people are also angry on how TLOU2 played out. It has probably one of the worst stories I've had the pleasure of experiencing with quite the piss-poor writing compared to the first TLOU. The entire game is literally revenge fantasy porn with obvious attempts to guilt trip you and make you feel bad. The employee mistreatment, copyrights and so on is bullshit too.
