compliment survivor

Kind of person who overreacts an everyday compliment like "you look amazing", says it's inconvenient and inappropriate and/or goes full Karen about it until the other person regrets being born / having said a word.

femjecting

The insertion of a female character into any story or historical narrative, usually as the central figure who enables the key events, followed by claims that her contribution has been unjustly overlooked due to discrimination.

This is 2025, they're femjecting every single movie, we're flooded with forgotten warrior queens bringing peace to the nation while also twerking and inventing electricity.
