It looked like she was fucking himand they insinuated that she was fucking him for months before I said anything. And a person who also did it admitted to doing it.
Hym "I didn't accuse anyone of anything. They insinuated that it was happening and it looked like it was happening because it was happening... Well... I'm sure I've accused a lot of people of a lot of things. But not that. Also didn't try to plagiarism anyone. When I was accused I admitted that I got if from somewhere else immediately. But that wasn't good enough was it? Because we didn't like how I said it did we?"

accuse-tivism 

SJW/ "activists" who mainly like to accuse to shame and demonise other people (usually celebrities) of certain labels, while contribute little to none to the actual causes themselves.
Example of accuse-tivism:
She is a loud critic to other people with the same clique accusation: "Why aren't you a feminist? Don't you believe that women are equal to men!..."
But you will never find her actually help women in her own life. Apparently, "I spoke about it on twitter and shamed other people why don't they speak about that" is her good-enough definition of activism!

noob accusation 

In FPS games, when someone notices the high amount of frags another player has compared to theirs, and falsely accuses them of using hack, cheat, or bot programs. Often owners of game servers ban people for starting arguments this way, asking instead to report hackers to the admins rather than starting flame wars.
J03 L4m3r: RedBlade7 has 30 frags and I only have 17! He must be hacking.
RedBlade7: Stop with the noob accusations. You're just losing.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
