When an activist (namely Jason Russell) faps in public, thus discrediting anything this "faptivist" ever stood for and bringing about the demise of his campaign.
Kony2012 supporter: I really identify with Jason Russell's cause to catch Kony by the end of 2012!
Learned individual: You must be feelin' salty to support faptivism
A social "movement" brought to attention through internet memes and word of mouth that has almost no validity in the real world and will become passe in a matter of months.
Common sense person: "let's go occupy the apple store, they are a money grubbing corporation, right?"
Hipster douchebag: "Occupy apple? I need my iphone to pass along all the latest fads. Besides occupy is so 2011, it's all about Kony 2012!"
Common sense person: "you're just buying into the latest fad. You're such a hipster fauxtivist"
First pioneered by Jason Russell in March 2012 faptivism is the practice of vigorous fapping as a means of achieving political or other goals often through public demonstrations, fap mobs etc.
A false toughness defined by machismo and self-imposed isolation. The fauxic lives a life of constant, perceived persecution or threat without a fully formed sense of self. Fauxicism is marked by a projected carapace of imperturbability and lonely burden-carrying, though this may dissolve into snowflakery when the fauxic's sense of honor or respect is impinged.
