Most commonly used in digital parties such as Discord, Xbox, PS4. Selective input occurs when a person chooses only to speak when they feel comfortable, usually within a Safe Space. It is used by cowards, and people who cannot generate a unique comeback. A user of selective input is most often also a lurker.

Get the Selective Lyricism mug.Having the mental capacity to understand something that's painfully obvious to anybody else and/or has overwhelming and undeniable evidence, but deliberately ignoring it for any number of reasons. Compare willful ignorance.
Jean was presented with mountains of evidence that her husband was cheating on her, and more-or-less covered her ears and went "LALALALALA." I swear, she's engaging in selective obliviousness.

Get the selective obliviousness mug.Similar to selective hearing, but when a colleague (usually a Manager) only chooses to respond to e-mails which suit their needs.
Typically, this is because they don't know *how* to respond, as a result of being incompetent.
They do this regardless of the impact their lack of reply has on their staff/colleagues.
Ultimately, they will not be held responsible for their lack of response and the blame will fall on the person who was awaiting their response!
