Aura Farming: The act of dominantly exerting
one's persona, charisma, and demeanor as a noticable social pressure through intentional actions supportive of Aura Farmer's desired demeanor/persona.
Origin: The term likely originates from both
Roblox and the Dragon Ball franchise. Auras in
Roblox have become a hugely popularized
avatar cosmetic over the years that resemble the colorful glowing aura of Dragon Ball characters charging Ki or emitting their power. Cosmetic auras are visually appealing and are closely associated with supernatural strength. Therefore it's sought after in Roblox games. The type of Roblox games that have obtainable cosmetic auras typically encourage competition between players by displaying and ranking a user
avatar's strength through a medium such as power levels. Due to the popularity and nature of video
game cosmetics, auras are typically difficult to obtain so you have to farm for an aura to obtain
one. Hence, the likely origination of "aura farming."
Person 1: "Get a load of that guy, trying to act tough, he's obviously widening his shoulders and posture, he looks
like a total
idiot."
Person 2: "You don't get it do you? He's clearly aura farming. We're merely just lesser beings beneath his oh so mighty presence. Show some
respect."
