Leftist Appropriation

Describes a phenomenon where popular comedy-based websites that were once funny for everyone get taken over by leftist admins, and cease to be funny for anyone not on the far-left of the political spectrum. The archetypal example is cracked.com. Typically, the wealthy leftist admins will choose to be completely oblivious to massive popular displays of disapproval from readers about the direction in which the website is headed (such as disapproving comments in comment sections, large dislike-to-like ratios,etc.). After all, who cares about the opinions of plebs? They're just too stupid to understand that cultural Marxism is in their best interest.

This should not be confused with websites that were always leftist, such as The Onion.
Man, urbandictionary used to be funny, but now the admins only approve or front-page political definitions if they espouse socialism, black supremacy, and third-wave feminism. Total leftist appropriation!

cultural avpropriation

When your online avatar (av) contains elements from a culture other than your own
It has been alleged that your av is eating a taco but you're Cuban, not Mexican. The only things your online persona is allowed to do are smoke a cigar, drink a mojito, eat a ham sandwich with pickles, or listen to the "Havana ooh-na-na" song. I hereby find you guilty of the heinous crime of cultural avpropriation and sentence you to 50 years in federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison.
