attention shaming

The practice on social media (Facebook in particular) of chastising others for responding to the news they are responding to, accusing them of being distracting from "more important" issues, as determined by the scolder.

Lauren's most recent episode in attention shaming Dirk was for tweeting about Sean Spicer's latest gaffe instead of a new report from Greenpeace on the near extinction of Zimbabwean duck-billed platypi due to climate change.

Know Shaming

''Know Shaming'' is the petty social act of making someone feel smaller or stupid for literally not having known the information someone is telling them. Know shaming can occur in social or academic discourse, but also in interactions around media or celebrity consumption.

A: Have you heard of band XYZ?
B: No I Hav---
A: OMG! How do you not know about them!??!?!? Do you live under a rock?!?!! I knew about them ages ago like before they got popular.... YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO THEM.

A: Did you know..
B: No..
A: What OMG! Do you even read? So basically...
B: This is know shaming. How could I know anything about something before I know it?
