What kind of 'hipster-activism' would you be talking about?
When people only speak up for groups who are the most social outcast and justify any bad behavior from said social outcast groups. And then self-diagnose any number of conditions that puts them into a group that's even more socially ostracized than everyone else.
Although, I like to just shorten it and call it "hipster activism" because they only care about causes that aren't mainstream, or "oppression olympics."
