distractivity

Distractivity is what you’re doing when you get distracted from what you should be doing. It's generally what you want to do, often what you need to do, and arguably, what you’ll do best.

John wasn't making much progress on the company's annual report, so he welcomed the distractivity of working on his website.

Distraction Cake

Something pleasant which draws attention from a situation which could be awkward or embarrassing for those involved. Distraction cake originated in British teen dramedy "Skins" where Emily Fitch produced a delicious chocolate cake, seemingly from thin air, in order to remove attention from Naomi Campbell who was being heckled about her sexuality - presumably as an act to show her undying love.

Cook: I know the cure
Naomi: The cure for what?
Cook: It's my cock
Naomi: What the hell are you talking about?
*Awkward glances and laughter*
Emily: Hey look what I made! (Produces delicious distraction cake)

self destructive

A person or organization that does things or operates in such a manner that is not in their best interest. This can be caused by a mental deficiency or some other psychological disorder. The sad reality is that this condition not only harms the individual or organization, but also everyone associated with that person or organization.

Urban Dictionary has been operating in a self destructive mode for many years by not instituting a plan for allowing its volunteer editors to vote to remove homophobic, racist and misogynist definitions that have been "already suggested for removal" but were kept because of the immaturity or mental deficiency of some of its editors. These horrific definitions are then allowed to remain on the UD web page for eternity with no way of removing them.

Destructive Criticism

Often confused with Constructive Criticism, destructive criticism is when a critique is made that does little to open for improvement, but rather attacks the work through fallacious logic or personal bias, and often leads to the weaken rather than strengthen the work. Usually done to attack the creator and not the creation.

It's destructive criticism to demand a happy ending instead of a horrifying ending for an intentionally horrifying film.
