A menninist is an insecure man-child whose pathetic existence rests on the systemic oppression of women & claims to be a men's right activist but only mentions men's issues after a similiar women's issue has been raised(only to counter feminist arguments with little or no concern for actual men's rights).Some menninist groups are pedophiles and want rape to be legalized.They also want to abolish already established women's rights & usually congregate in spaces like reddit and still live in their mom's basement.

A buzz word being used to refer to creators and influencers forming or encouraging unhealthy relationships with their fans. Usually used in the context of young audiences feeling they have a relationship with the influencer due to the huge amount of the influencer’s content they consume. The influencer in question, however, is unaware of the fan’s existence other than the general knowledge of having fans. Common examples include Dream and his stans. These relationships are exacerbated by the influencers confirming they have more than a creator-to-viewer relationship.

The word is circulating due to various YouTube essays about the phenomenon using the word, and therefore people who enjoy complaining about influencers repeating what they heard in the video in any comments section they can find.
