A slang term describing a person who habitually criticizes others' creative work, personal expression, or stylistic choices by labelling them as “slop” (e.g., retroslop, etc.), often with little to no constructive input. The term implies that the critic is less concerned with quality and more disturbed by the fact that others are enjoying themselves in ways they personally dislike.
Typically used online in creative or gaming communities (e.g., Roblox, Minecraft, VRChat), where individuals are free to customize avatars, games, or environments.
Derived from the repetitive and excessive use of the term slop in derogatory internet slang.
Synonyms:
gatekeeper, hater, buzzkill, killjoy
