Status Commandeering

The act of two or more people taking over someone's status on Facebook or Myspace to hold a conversation completly unrelevent to anything the status's owner was talking about.

This is particuarly funny and random because everytime one of you replies, on Facebook, the little red alert flag appears on their screen. This will get VERY annoying and hopefully the victim will become angered and it's very funny.

In rare circumstances, too many posts back and forth on their status may cause their computer to become slow or even freeze. This results in extra LOL points .

Status Commandeering in action:

Tessa's Facebook Status : "Going out with my girls tonight to CiCi's for some pizza and fun"

Matt : Hey matt, wasn't that cake we had after dinner tonight absolutely delicious?

Justin : Ya, it was pretty good. Although i have to admit, the ice cream was better.

Tessa: WTF?

Matt : Okay, both were good. But hey, we should go to Roanoke sometime to play airsoft.

Justin : I dont know man, Roanoke is pretty far away.

Tessa: WTF!?

Matt : Ya, but it'd totally be worth it!

Justin : Hmm, okay. I'll think about it.

Matt : Okay, well how's the weather?

Tessa : SHUT THE FUCK UP! STOP TALKING ON MY STATUS!

Justin: The weather? Oh you know. Its mildly humid. We've been getting a lot of rain lately.

*and so on*

war commandeering

a MKULTRA V2K gamified rape scenario in which "war commandeers" are alerted over voice to skull as to whom they should "war commandeer" or sexually assault, and how.

I reported the V2K war commandeering problem to the local SHARP office. Told her I heard it was rape organized on the V2K mainline. Told her it makes it hard to commandeer the war when the rape program is called "war commandeering."

Social Commandeering 

(Civilian) Social Commandeering (AKA Social Hijacking)

A phenomenon where individuals, under the guise of social righteousness, attempt to seize control of someone's work, career, or reputation. These groups believe their moral or social agendas should take precedence and use social pressure to enforce this belief. On the internet, they often target artists, podcasters, or other creators, demanding that they endorse specific agendas or censor certain content. This practice forces creators to speak with a voice other than their own, undermining their original goals and leading to severe repercussions, such as public shaming or career damage, if resisted. This can be seen as a form of reverse 'Virtue Signaling,' where the pressure to conform is imposed externally rather than expressed personally.

"After releasing a new virtual art exhibition, the host faced Social Commandeering when a vocal group demanded the removal of an artist they found controversial." "Wow, even here people are so risk averse!"
