Being "Cordycepted" is when a person, group, or organization is taken over by outsiders, usually political activists, and their original culture, mission, or goals is replaced with the outsider's political culture, mission, or goals, often self-destructively.
The name comes from the "Zombie ant fungi," Ophiocordyceps, which is a parasitical fungus that infects ants, literally forcing them to go to a high location and become a spore bomb to infect other ants.
The specific tactic when outsiders join a group to do this is called Entryism, and is a hallmark of political activism going back since at least the 60s. See also "Spectrum of Allies Analysis," a specific activist tactic that seeks to push a person, group, or organization "just one tick" in a certain direction, from "active opponent" to "neutral" to "active ally," often from outside the group.
While this is a primarily political or culture war thing, many artists also become cordycepted by fetish communities, particularly those who accept commission work. Artists who find a specific niche of commissioners or fans may find their work shifting to cover this niche near exclusively.

Get the fat wreck chords mug.Chord -- Name. Pronounced: cord.
Chord is a quiet introverted type of guy. He can be harsh on himself because he can't see what a wonderful handsome person he actually is. Once you get to know him he shows how sweet, kind and caring he is to the ones he loves. The kind of guy who can be sassy and sarcastic but you love him for it. Chord will always put your needs before his own, he's always down to help you with anything. He loves with all of his heart and soul. He'll listen to you night or day, whenever you need him. You need to gain his trust before he feels comfortable enough to share his own feelings with you though, as Chord isn't one for "dumping" his feelings on other people. He's loved greatly by his friends and family. Never let Chord go, it'd be a mistake if you did.
