The Death Eaters was the name given to followers of Lord Voldemort. The group primarily consisted of wizards and witches who were radical pure blood supremacists, and who practised the Dark Arts with reckless abandon and without regard or fear of wizarding law. Lord Voldemort used this select group of wizards and witches during both the First and Second Wizarding Wars, employing them as his elite force. They often wore black hoods and masks with snake-like eye slits to cover their faces. Only the members of the inner circle of the Death Eaters had Dark Marks burned into their left forearms. When Voldemort touched one of them, each of the Death Eaters felt it, signalling for them to Apparate to their leader's side.
The Death Eaters are Voldemort, the Carrows, Dolohov, the Averys, Rookwood, the Rosiers, Selwyn, Crouch Jr, the Lestranges, the Crabbes, the Malfoys, Gibbon, the Goyles, Jugson, Karkaroff, the Mulcibers, Nott, Pettigrew, Black, Greyback, Snape, Rowle, Travers, Wilkes, Macnair, and Yaxley.

A Harry Potter term.
Death Eaters are Voldemort's supporters, they are very bad and racist against muggleborns , or, if you'd like to use the impolite word, mudbloods. All of them have this tattoo, the dark mark, with their symbol that is used to communicate with one another.

Wizard 1: *looking at the collapsed bridge* What's going on?!
Wizard 2: It looks like the Death Eaters have attacked again.

The polar opposite of (and often directly caused by) draco in leather pants, whereby fandom demonizes a previously likeable, good character, often for the sake of shipping.
The origin of the name comes from Harry Potter fandom, in which fanfic writers shipping Hermione with characters other than her canon love interest, Ronald Weasley (or Ron), would often include some terribly contrived arc in which Ron goes insane from Hermione dumping him, and promptly joins the villains of the series, the Death Eaters, thus making it easier for readers to sympathise with Hermione's choice and hence the ship of choice.

Perfect, non-HP example of Ron the death eater in action:
In 2002, the second series of the Pokemon anime saw a cast change, in which one of the three main characters, Misty (who was heavily shipped with one of the other main characters, specifically Ash), was swapped for a younger model, May. Cue dozens of gratuitous rapefics written in May's dishonour. Voila: May the death eater.

The judgmental bitches in middle school that hate everyone else but themselves and the people in "their group". It doesn't matter who you are if you're not them.
Most People: Ugh! I hate Jr. High! All these frickin' Middle School Death Eaters are bringing me down!
