Shadow Shifting

The process by which something gradually fades from visibility or awareness—not because it’s gone, but because it’s operating beyond the range of detection. Still present. Still active. Just no longer seen.

"After the black hole collapsed, the surrounding radiation didn’t vanish—it began shadow shifting into the background curvature of space."

Shadowing

Manipulation of the algorithm of Tiktok by a group, to catch the attention of a popular content creator and forcing other comments to the bottom (into the shadows). This is accomplished by having all group members use the same emblem or avatar and liking each other comments to trick the algorithm into placing these "popular" comments ahead of others. Specific emoticons are also used in the same formation in the comments to increase visibility. The contents of the comments are usually irrelevant, but the number of comments will push out all non-group members and create the illusion that all the fans of that content creator are from that group.

We are going to be shadowing all his Tiktoks and his lives from now on.

Shadow Argument

Making up a scenario in your head that makes you mad then complaining about it to others like it actually happened almost like shadow boxing but for neckbeards

"Yeah I understand the appeal of shows like Naruto and one piece, but the fanbases compare their show to shows like berserk as if they're close." (has never seen anyone do that therefore, shadow argument)
