The treatment of "exposing" others—revealing scandals, calling out wrongdoing, holding people accountable—as an ideology in itself, detached from any particular commitment to justice, truth, or constructive change. Exposism is exposing as an end rather than a means, a performance rather than a practice, an identity rather than an action. The exposist doesn't expose to improve things; they expose to build status, to gain followers, to feel righteous. The content of the exposure matters less than the act itself. Exposism is placebism and debunkism's cousin: where debunkism is debunking as ideology, exposism is exposing as ideology. It's the culture of call-out made manifest, accountability as spectacle, justice as performance. Exposism flourishes on social media, where exposure generates engagement, where being the one who revealed the scandal confers status, where the act of exposing matters more than what happens after.
Example: "He'd made a career of Exposism: revealing scandals, calling out hypocrites, holding people accountable. But he never stayed to fix what he'd exposed; he just moved to the next target. Exposure was his product, not his purpose. The damage he left behind was someone else's problem. Exposism had made him famous and useless."
