Inclusionism 

Inclusionism (noun inclusionist) is a Wikipedian philosophy advocating for editing Wikipedia articles, in addition to making there factual information valid. This is contrasted with Deletionism, which wants to delete multiple articles that are not famous or have invalid information (rather than edit to make valid).
Inclusionism is what makes Wikipedia every informative. Included multiple articles enables readers to attain an in-depth knowledge on a subject.

The Inclusionist Motto is "Wiki is not paper!"

inclusionist

An inclusionist is someone who does not gatekeep (i.e. exclude) members of a certain group from that group based on their identity or other factors. This is especially prevelant in the LGBTQIA+ community, where exclusionists often create in-fighting and discord in the group over identities and create division within the group. Other groups (often marginalized) outside of LGBTQIA+ also often experience these types of division. Many inclusionists realize that in-fighting is not the way to overcome the oppression these groups experience, and only by working together and creating an inclusionist community, they can all overcome stigma from those outside the group.
1. Anna is a pansexual inclusionist and bisexual. She understands that someone who's pansexual is attracted to people regardless of gender, and that it doesn't invalidate her sexuality.

2. Elliot is a bisexual inclusionist, and is gay. He knows that bisexual people aren't just "straight people who want to be special" like some exclusionists think.

3. I heard that Andrew changed his mind about asexuality and became an inclusionist! After he opened his mind and talked to asexual people, he realized he didn't understand what it meant and was wrong.

4. I hope that one author realizes her mistakes and starts being a transgender inclusionist. Feminism that excludes trans people puts women into a box of what femininity is "supposed" to be that can hurt cis women too.

5. I'm a trans man, but neopronouns don't bother me. I consider myself an inclusionist, and I think people can use whatever pronouns make them comfortable in their body.

Inclusionist

An inclusionist, commonly shortened to inclus, is a discourse term to refer to a person who believes the core purpose of the LGBT+ community is individual expression. They tend to care more about personal feelings over historical sources or definitions, and state that cishet approval is unnecessary, or sometimes even unwanted. While they prioritize making sure people feel comfortable with their label, they CAN inadvertently push harmful ideas of other sexualites by doing so (e.g; using biphobic stereotypes in order to support other M-spec identities like pansexuality). However, not all inclus are guilty of doing this.

Common inclusionist beliefs are (Note: People don't have to inherently have every of these views to be an inclusionist):
-the acronym is LGBTQ+, LGBTQIA+, or something similar
-aces and aros (including cishet ones) are part of the community
-asexuality and aromanticism are spectrums
-non-binary people can be lesbians or gay
-"gay" is an umbrella term that anyone with same gender attraction can use
-Mspec identities like pan, omnisexual, or polysexual are valid
-you do not need gender dysphoria to be transgender
-pronouns don't equal gender
-all pronouns are valid, including nounself and emoji pronouns
-Queer is a valid identity, and isn't a slur (some even say it never has been).

Counter-inclusivism 

A word used to describe the paradox of inclusiveness when it includes ideas that are anti-inclusive.

The extension of freedom of speech to ideas opposed to it is an example of counter-inclusivism. The word is meant to be descriptive and merely describes a situation of counter-inclusiveness and is also different from anti-inclusivism.
In my analysis, I shall demonstrate how the dilemma free societies face on how to deal with anti-democratic and illiberal forces is the apex of counter-inclusivism.

Stealthie 

when you're holding up your phone and making faces at it, as though you are taking a selfie, but you're really taking a picture of the person across from you or the wall or anything else that seems interesting but you don't want to be caught dead taking a picture of.

This action is often made more convincing by wiggling the eyebrows or opening the mouth, to pretend you're trying to get a Snapchat filter to work.
FRIEND A: "Did you just take a stealthie of me?"

FRIEND B (turning phone around): "no I was just using snapchat's new filter, see?"

The grindset is a contemporary ideology of self-exploitation disguised as strength, deeply tied to the aesthetics of the “sigma male” and to new digital forms of patriarchy. It promotes the idea that human worth depends on productivity, economic success, absolute emotional control, and the ability to work endlessly, turning vulnerability, rest, community, and tenderness into signs of weakness. Beneath its rhetoric of discipline and power often lies a profound inability to relate healthily to pain, fragility, and human interdependence.
“That’s the grindset, brother. While weak men sleep and complain, sigma males stay disciplined, work in silence, suppress emotions, and build power while everyone else wastes time chasing comfort.”
