A word used to censor other words, particularly in the case of CaptainSparklez' YouTube channel, when he coined the term after doing reddit reaction videos.
The minecraf chat reads "CS was demonetized by Jerry" rather than "CS was slain by Jerry" so that YouTubes algorithms won't demonetize the video.
Hym "Oh shit, it looks like my little Nitro blew up your shit! You thing it was the trading time on your podcast for sex as a form of prostitution? You think that was it? That was the last clip I saw from the show. You think it was that? I donno. I couldn't believe he actually brought it up to your face! That's hilarious! He was all 'Trunks... Bulma... And even you Kakarot...' BANG! Demonetized!"
A term for YouTubers using pseudo-replacement obscene words in an attempt to not get demonetized on the platform. This came about due to YouTube's crackdown on swearing and "offensive" language, especially anything advertisers would hate to see.
Viewer: "Hey why do you use the term 'the coof' rather than 'corona virus' in your video?"
YouTuber: "Because YouTube will demonetize my channel if I used the term 'corona virus'; so I have to use demonetized language in order to get my YouTube money."
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
