includiez

Includiez is a term that has emerged in online discourse, particularly within communities discussing social justice, diversity, and inclusion. It is often used in a critical or dismissive manner to refer to individuals or groups perceived as being overly concerned with or performatively advocating for inclusive practices. The term can carry negative connotations, implying that such efforts are insincere, excessive, or solely for the purpose of social signaling.

The origin and precise definition of "includiez" are not formally established, but its usage generally points to a perceived trend of individuals emphasizing their commitment to inclusivity without necessarily demonstrating genuine understanding or action. This can manifest in various contexts, such as corporate diversity initiatives, educational policies, or social media activism. Critics employing the term may argue that the focus on "includie" behavior distracts from more substantive issues or that it is a superficial approach to complex social problems.

Conversely, those who are labeled as "includiez" might argue that their actions are genuine attempts to create more equitable and welcoming environments. They may view the derogatory use of the term as an attempt to undermine or silence efforts to promote diversity and inclusion. The debate surrounding the term highlights differing perspectives on the nature and effectiveness of contemporary inclusion movements and the sincerity of their proponents. The term itself is a product of evolving social and linguistic trends related to social justice discourse.
