Although used on previous occasions by great scholars, such as on the TV debate between Gore Vidal and William F. Buckley, when Vidal accused Buckley of being a 'crypto-fascist', this term was made a popular insult amongst geeks by the BBC sitcom Red Dwarf.
A crypto-fascist is a 'hidden' supporter of fascism. It is only truly applicable to individuals, as by definition a mass movement of crypto-fascism ceases to be cryptological. That is to say, a crypto-fascist has ideologically totalitarian views, but has not yet found a movement which sufficiently reflects these views, and thus remains 'hidden'.

Young Lister: But I'm not into dosh, I hate money, I loathe possessions, It's just so... crypto-fascist.
Lister: Will you stop saying everything's crypto-fascist? You make me sound like I was a complete git!

Fashion Souls is the general term for when you customise your character's appearance for fashionable or visual reasons rather than for the buffs, protection or other features that better armour/clothing would provide.
Based on Dark Souls players who wear impractical apparel cause it looks cool rather than wearing better protective or stronger clothing. The player then usually pays the price by consistently dying because they take too much damage.
Everyone secretly does it at one point or another.

Get the FASHIGADIG mug.Moniker for the subclass of scumbags that reside in Delray beach. Can be found creeping in the alley by spot coffee, at Veterans Park, and at the Crossroads club after dark. Characterized by a bad attitude, stupid tattoos and flat brimmed hats. These people are comparable to hipsters, but far worse.
Hey Dave do you want to hit the 730 at veterans park?
