The worse and most volatile currency imaginable.
Hym "Your need for your reputation to be paramount in your identity is the reason 'cancel culture' exists. It's too volatile as a form of currency and the act of Twitter mobs taking people out left and right is evidence of that fact. I mean, what does my reputation look like? It depends on who you ask. If you ask the guy about whom I said 'Should I wait for him to die and drag his kids to hell with me?' and the guy who wrote an anime series about me; you will get two different answers. And what constitutes 'deserved prestige?' Because what it sounds like is 'I deserve this and the people I don't like don't deserve it.' in an Animal farm type of 'Well, some people are more deserving of prestige than others.' Who deserves it? You? Who deserves it MORE? The guy who had to glue a book that no one would read to the Bible to sell it? Or the guy who writes a metatext that people CAN'T STOP reading that is literally the prerequisite text for a plurality of creative works and proved that anyone can string together a bunch of quotes from they're favorite authors and do what you do now?

And how far is Dr. Jordan Peterson willing to go to prevent people from gaining 'undeserved' reputation? Would he... steal and redistribute ideas? Would he (as a clinician) sign off on the public gaslighting and stalking of a sovereign individual? You also can't steal reputation. Which is a prerequisite for considering something currency. Ideas, on the other hand, can be stolen. It's easier to do if you stick to dead people but you can also do it to people who don't have any power."

Hym "Ah! Jesus Christ! You can't just sneak up on people like that! Get outta here! Go! Get out!"

reputation is Taylor Swift’s best era and album. reputation era as a slang is usually used on stan Twitter when some popular musician is expected to drop their dark themed album. It is also used when a person is getting hate and a lot of backlash for something.

when someone says they are “entering their reputation era” it basically means that they are about to f@!? some sh!t up. they will get revenge, and glow from the inside out. it’s a bad b!tch moment for sure. it originated from Taylor swift when she dropped the single “look what you made me do” calling out kanye and everyone who talked down on her.
“omg i heard about taylor, everyone’s been making false rumours about her, she’s totally going to enter her reputation era after all this drama.”

Reputational laundering - the act of appearing to do good publicly in order to offset a negative image. A technique usually employed by individuals or corporations who have made their money in a morally questionable fashion and who wish to appear to have a moral conscience.
Reputational laundering often comes in the form of Corporate Social Responsibility, where a relatively trivial sum of profits are donated by the corporation to fund socially oriented activities in order to suggest that the corporation is socially responsible.
An example, often sited, would be major oil companies giving charitable funds to communities in the Nigeria Delta whose original livelihoods they were implicit in destroying through the extraction of crude oil.
However the practice of reputational laundering is by no means exclusive to corporations. Many morally bankrupt individuals donate money to charity in order that they are seen to care about social or environmental issues. As an added benefit to their undeservedly improved public image they also enjoy significant tax breaks on their donations.

Given that it has just paid record fines for insider trading, PJ Gorman’s effort to support a youth programme in the inner city is little more than reputational laundering.
