Slacktivism, a portmanteau of slacker and activism, refers to the practice of supporting a political or social cause through minimal effort, such as liking a post or changing a profile picture, often to bolster one's own ego rather than creating tangible change. The meme genre gained significant traction in the early 2010s with events like Kony 2012 and various hashtag campaigns, highlighting the disconnect between digital performance and real-world impact. These memes often feature characters feeling overly self-satisfied for doing the bare minimum, serving as a biting critique of performative allyship and the armchair activist phenomenon that dominates modern social media discourse.
