asstroturfing 

The same as astroturfing, except done so ineptly that the astroturfer makes an ass of himself.

That viral was so obviously staged; I hate it when companies start asstroturfing.

Ever since Helen shaved her head we've been experimenting with astroturfing her scalp against my clit and it makes me come so hard!

astroTERFing 

The use – by men – of fake social media accounts that pose as feminist women, to object to the rights of trans women to be recognized as women. See also: Astroturfing, TERF.
