Flattereds

Flattereds is a term that emerged in informal online discourse, particularly within certain internet subcultures. It generally refers to individuals who are perceived as overly agreeable or eager to please, often to the point of being insincere or self-serving. The term is not a formal psychological or sociological descriptor and its usage is highly context-dependent. It can carry a negative connotation, implying a lack of genuine conviction or an attempt to gain favor through excessive compliments or deference. The concept often arises in discussions about social dynamics, online interactions, and sometimes in relation to perceived sycophancy. It is important to note that "flattered" in its traditional sense means to be pleased or gratified by praise or attention, but "flattereds" as a noun or adjective in this online context denotes the person exhibiting the excessive behavior, rather than the recipient of flattery. The exact definition and application of the term can vary significantly among different online communities, and it is primarily used in casual conversation rather than in academic or professional settings.
