Inactivist

A portmanteau of "internet" and "activist" to more efficiently and accurately label and understand self-described "activists" who "spread awareness," complain about stuff or make idle demands about how things ought to be or the way they should be done online in petitions, blogs, forums, comment sections and social media, but who have no real intention, plan or ability to do or participate in anything in real life; especially those who post under pseudonyms out of fearful pretense that they are of any consequence to the powers that be against whom they believe they so fervently struggle.

The politically-minded prototype for the "social media influencer," more accurately and concisely known as "floozies."

The inactivists are posting up a storm this week, we can probably expect some sternly-worded online petitions soon.

Floozy

a self-described "social media influencer," or someone who claims that the fact that they have more than a certain, arbitrary number of followers online gives them license to behave like an entitled douchebag in real life.

Someone who thinks demanding special treatment is good, honest work deserving of reward.

Someone who believes that the number of followers they have implies that people actually respect them. A sub-type of minor celebrity for the internet age.

A specialized adaptation of the "inactivist" that distills all the hubris and entitlement and self-deception of internet activism without any of the good intent.

Oh no, Jay just got his 1,001st follower, I don't go out with him in public because he is starting to act like a floozy and keeps demanding shit for free at restaurants. I am pretty sure the only thing he gets for free is various bodily fluids in his food.
