A corporation or other entity in a state of artificial, transient economic prosperity, requiring a constant flow of exorbitant amounts of money or other resources to maintain itself. Steroidial corporations will often go to extreme measures to maintain their artificial prosperity, such as committing human rights violations or engaging in political lobbying.
America is dominated by the aggressive ambitions of steroidial corporations such as Amazon and Google. Not knowing when to back down, they have grown into terrible monstrosities with countless instances of corruption and human rights violations attributed to them. The government would surely step in to stop them if the government had not also become reliant on the heaps of dirty money coming in via taxes and bribery to sustain themselves. With how deeply-rooted the corruption of the American government and its gluttonous corporate sponsors has become, many Americans worry that only a third world war could be enough to set things right once and for all...

When a video game developer, typically Indie, releases an update for their game without performing thorough quality control checks beforehand, causing the update to introduce new bugs in their game. Eager to fix these issues, they release a hotfix to patch the issue, but it only introduces even more bugs to fix. Lacking patience and any sort of effective quality control protocols, the game developer ends up releasing dozens of hotfixes for their previous hotfixes, creating an avoidable amount of hotfixes that would've been unnecessary had the dev taken more time to perform all necessary testing to identify potential flaws with their changes.
user1: "wtf is with all these hotfixes?"
user2: "the dev made a hydra hotfix and had to go on a wild goose chase to get everything fixed"
user1: "ffs does anyone even know what quality control is anymore"

An acronym where each letter is used in a more creative manner to express more meaning than a simpler letter-for-word acronym would enable.
BDSM is technically an acronym, but not a traditional letter-for-word acronym like "TSA" or "LMAO". Instead, the term BDSM acts as a compound acronym. It stands for "Bondage and Discipline, Domination and Submission, Sadism and Masochism". If that term were expressed as a conventional acronym, it would be written out as "BDDSSM", and so consolidating the redundant letters of the acronym and expressing the term as a compound acronym, "BDSM", makes for a term that is far easier to say.

Excessive openness of a group in fear of cultural exclusivity. Often flounders in the face of questions regarding cultural identity, and acts as a political caveat to prevent the policing of deleterious behaviors. (cf. Gatekeeping)
Coping with severe discrimination online, most furries and the online communities they manage are rife with policies of hyperinclusion. They shut down any semblance of 'gatekeeping' in an effort to make their communities as wholesome as possible. Aside from the cultural dilution that naturally occurs as of a result of this sort of philosophy, this can add a thick layer of arguably superfluous red tape to many instances of judicial action, resulting in sluggish moderator action and minor server corruption.
