allyship fatigue 

The feeling of intense exhaustion you get after posting a black square on your instagram and calling it a day. Also applies to a picture of a rainbow in June.

Person 1: Hey you able to go to the protest tonight?
Person 2: Nah I'm exhausted after a hard day of activism, my black square got 200k likes!
Person 1: Curse you, allyship fatigue!

Allyship Fatigue 

The intense feeling of exhaustion and burnout you feel from constant activism and internal thought policing for a group you do not belong to.

Monique is suffering from allyship fatigue and considering burning the cape for black men after realizing she's chronically neglected her own needs.

Allyship Theater 

(noun)
A performative display of social justice allyship, intended more to signal moral virtue and gain approval than to bring about real change. Often used by individuals or organizations to showcase their “wokeness” while avoiding substantive action. Think hashtags, statements, boycotts, or outrage — all for show.

Origin: A fusion of allyship (support for marginalized groups) and political theater (symbolic actions with little real effect), typically used sarcastically to critique shallow activism in corporate, tech, or media circles.

When the studio replaced their logo with a rainbow for Pride Month but kept exploiting their workers, it was just more allyship theater.

Circus-Monkey Allyship 

When someone supports a minority community, not out of a desire for equality or understanding, but because the stereotypes and “quirkiness” of the community are entertaining to them. Circus-Monkey Allies may uplift and express support for said minorities, but only the parts that they find amusing or can understand, like how one would treat an exotic animal in a zoo.

“I love gay guys and go to pride each year, but I’d never want my friend to be a lesbian. What if she hits on me?”

“That kinda feels like circus-monkey allyship, Emily”
