armchair defeatist

The average "smart" ass who assumes constraints loudly. These people are everywhere and only seem to ever come up with reasons why something won't work, or how it doesn't apply to them, and therefore must not apply to anyone else.

I didn't listen to all the armchair defeatists, instead I made a quick prototype and made $1,200 in my first month.

Armchair Crusader

Not to be confused with an Armchair Activist or Armchair Warrior, an Armchair Crusader is a person who would essentially die for another person unrelated to their life. Most often found in cult-of-personalities surrounding larger names, these people would blindly talk up about, defend, and proclaim falsehoods of counter-evidence towards a person's character, regardless of the relationship between the person and the crusader.
In essence, they would die for a person who doesn't even know they exist.

Any large YouTuber has a ton of these. Try insulting their character and see how many of them jump to his/her unneeded rescue!
Celebrities have many, or even just famed creators of great works (movies, video games, etc.)

Armchair podiatrist

Someone who is fascinated about touching people's feet, but not as a fetish. They usually have beginner-level knowledge on the anatomy of the human foot and can also give great foot massages.

My sister's boyfriend is kind of a creep about her feet, like an armchair podiatrist.

Armchair Opinion

An armchair opinion is someone who offers advice or criticism without having active experience or first-hand knowledge. The term refers to a person who knows about a subject only by reading or hearing about it, rather than having practical experience in the field.

Every man and their dog, offering an armchair opinion. When in actual fact they have no clue.
