Authenticity Testing

Implying that someone's position on an issue or activism and volunteering is not because of a genuine held belief or passion around the issue but because they want something else like coochie or validation. People who authenticity test are usually just bad people and accuse others of being fake because they have a hard time living their values without external incentive, so they assume that others are the same way.

This can also take the form of someone saying: you're not gay enough or you're not black enough to have a certain opinion.
Guy 1: You care about period pad scarcity as a man, you're such a male pick me.

Guy 2: I used to live in a third world country - I know people that have died due to lack of menstrual care.

Guy 1: Yeah I bet that line goes hard with women.

Guy 2: You know just because you're a cynical ass that would only care about issues outside of yourself for validation doesn't mean that others are the same way. Your authenticity testing is really fucked and shows that you lack the ability to show anyone love and care if it doesn't lead you to some clout or coochie.

Authenticity Gap

The difference between how a brand, influencer, or company presents itself and what people actually experience. It’s the space between the polished marketing and the disappointing reality.
