Personality disorder. Unhealthy obsession with a particular journalist. Named after Dutch journalist Wierd Duk. People suffering from dukopathy usually confuse constructive criticism with slander. Highly contagious in a Twitter context. When there's a collective outburst of dukopathy (usually caused by bandwagon behaviour), it's called 'dukomania'.
Symptoms include: Creative interpretation of words and tweets, taking words out of context, repetitive use of old screenshots, lack of humour, pompous demeanor, ingroup-outgroup bias.
High-risk groups: People working for Dutch newspapers NRC, De Volkskrant and Jalta. Social justice warriors. Envious bloggers.

"Sufferers from dukopathy tell eachother it's 'ok' to hate Wierd Duk now. Some have recently even started to use fake quotes to justify this hatred."
"Wow. Shouldn't we raise awareness for Dukopathy?"
