Angstrom Phallacy

When someone only attacks the one innocent person/part of a group and ignores the people that actually wronged them.

This is based off of Levi Angstrom, a villain from the series Invincible. In said series, he has been a victim of evil alternate universe versions of the main character, Mark, these evil versions of have terrorized him in multiple dimensions and timelines. In an attempt to get revenge and one bad experiment later...Angstrom decides to atrack the one good version of Mark, and has no plans on stopping until this good Mark is dead, he even went so far to team up with the evil versions of Mark to try to ruin is reputation and kill him.
Why does John only leave hate comments on Peter's stream? Peter is one of the only few Kick streamers that aren't huge pieces of work. This is a real nasty example of the Angstrom Phallacy.

Angst slop

A derogatory term for creative works that use trauma, suffering, or emotional distress purely for shock value without thematic direction, character development, or narrative purpose. Unlike stories where suffering reveals character, themes, or growth, angst slop relies on repeated misery without escalation, contrast, or meaning.

The term is frequently misused by netizens to dismiss any emotionally heavy or tragic story, especially by audiences who struggle with subtext, character-driven narratives, or slow-burn emotional/psychological arcs. Rather than saying “I don’t understand this” or “this isn’t for me,” netizens label things as “angst slop” to invalidate it.

Beard-angst

The emotion experienced at the tipping point between not shaving and growing a beard. This angst is most commonly bought on by the dread of knowing that the time spent maintaining said beard will eventually exceed the time commonly spent shaving. Beard-angst is often exacerbated by 'Beard Envy'.
"Man I can feel the Beard-angst coming on"!
"Mate, stop being a Beardo".

posten angst

That moment of dread and queasiness right before you log into your work email. (For severe cases, particularly on Mondays at 9:00 am, Uber Posten Angst.)
Sam, passing by Deb's desk: "What's wrong, Deb? You look kind of dazed and bummed out."

Deb, staring at computer screen and sighing: "Posten Angst. You know."

Sam: "Egh. Do I ever."

Uber Angst

When your Uber driver spends the length of the trip bitching ad nauseum about crappy disrespectful passengers, bullshit city policies that make their lives hell, Uber driver contracts that bring them lower pay and no workers rights all the while driving like a maniac to your destination while you strap in, hold on and pray.
That last trip to the airport brought on the worst case of Uber angst I've ever had.
