Proxyposting
Proxyposting is the act of filming a person or persons for the purpose of posting it on social media without the subjects knowing they are being filmed and without them filming themselves, often with negative commentary.
If the subject finds out shortly after filming has concluded, it is still proxyposting as long as they didn't know during filming.
For it to truly be proxyposting the subject must be innocent and doing nothing of greater consequence while
the one behind the camera must appear physically at some point as well, often with an aura of superiority over the subject.
The subject is living in the moment while the one holding the infinite distraction electric slab is simply being a cunt with the hope of ruining the subject's life.
If the subject is intentionally participating in the post, it is NOT proxyposting.
This word came to me in a dream in which I witnessed an influencer with a large following apologize for "proxyposting again" even though he was merely explaining what the people group he was filming was doing, and not trying to disparage them in any way. Then I realized that we don't really have a word for this sort of behavior, so I made my own definition even if it didn't fit what he was doing exactly.

"Proxyposting is a lesser but still devastating subcategory of stalking. But Instead of creepily following someone who's minding their own business, Proxposters film them without consent or knowledge and post it with hopes of embarrassing them."
"Hi Mr. President. My annoying coworker who has beef with me for no reason proxyposted me being silly at work to his army of followers that he somehow accrued despite being a random low wage Amazon employee just like me. Now I want to reasonably crash out by highkey beating the shit out of him even if nobody watched the video. If Proxyposters were punished by a lil medieval torture sesh every time they pulled this shit, half the short form videos online would disappear overnight. Hollon you already got the executive order sitting on your desk? We're actually SO linked twin. You're so goatstyle for that pookie."
