AFK-tolerant environment

AFK-tolerant environments are the environments where AFK moments are more normalized (read: occurring more common and feeling less painful). For example, K-12 school campuses require students to collect smartphones during school hours while those having excessive screen time per day will get an eye. This policy is akcually meant to create conducive learning environments, even though there are common misconception among gamers and YouTube addict that this policy is meant to "condition" students to inevitable AFK moments that are going to happen to them during the rest of their young lives, even after high school graduation.

The school’s strict smartphone policy created an AFK-tolerant environment, helping students adapt to being offline during class, despite some kids grumbling about missing their favorite YouTube channels.

Environment

A slang term used to mock a place, group, or program that’s poorly managed, unprepared, or just overall lacking. Saying “environment” alone — with no context — sarcastically points out dysfunction, failure, or chaos. Used when something is so bad it speaks for itself.

“When the sound system cut out mid-show and no one knew what to do, all I could say was… environment.”
