tragedy porn aficionado
Noun, usually a person. A person who shares news articles on social media about car accidents, drownings, house fires, weather- and other natural-disasters for the purpose of looking like you care about the victims. Also seen as an opportunity to offer thoughts and prayers in place of real support or help for the victims.
My friend posts daily articles about car accidents and house fires in her town, but she hasn't donated jack to help the victims. She's a total tragedy porn aficionado.
If I have to read another Facebook post from a tragedy porn aficionado offering thoughts and prayers instead of actual help for the victims, I'm going to scream.
