sectoften

Sectoften is a term that has emerged in online discourse, particularly within certain subcultures and communities. It is often used to describe a situation where a group or individual adopts an overly rigid or extreme adherence to a particular ideology, belief system, or practice. This adherence can manifest as an unwillingness to consider alternative viewpoints, a tendency to isolate themselves from dissenting opinions, and a strong emphasis on in-group loyalty and purity.

The term "sectoften" carries a negative connotation, implying that the behavior is excessive, potentially harmful, or counterproductive to healthy dialogue and progress. It suggests a departure from reasonable or mainstream engagement with a topic or idea, moving towards a more insular and dogmatic stance.

While the exact origins of the term are difficult to pinpoint, it appears to have gained traction through informal online discussions and memes. It is not a formally recognized sociological or psychological term but rather a colloquial descriptor used to identify and critique specific group dynamics observed in various online and offline contexts. The application of the term can be subjective, and what one person considers "sectoften," another might view as passionate conviction or dedication.
