When a group or organisation is infiltrated by those representing minority interests in such a way that they gain significant influence or control and then use this to push their desired agenda.
Activist capture is usually a deliberate process initiated by outsiders of the group or organisation. Tactics include: *Making demands for representation, often citing a lack thereof
*Calls for allyships
*Forming of a bloc that is used to drown out individual members and amplify their own voices
* Liberal use and accusations of "isms" and "phobias" designed to force compliance through fear
*Threats or intimidation if the above doesn't work
Activist capture is a strategy used when it is highly unlikely that a brand new group representing activist interests will gain anywhere near the power or influence of the existing one.

Person who makes sure to watch every trending Netflix documentary about social issues in the world (ex. Blackfish, Ted Bundy, Tiger King, R. Kelly, etc), and makes sure to post a "novel" about it on social media, but never actually researches social issues or tries to change the world for the better.
"Did you see Breanna's huge Facebook post about R. Kelly?"
"Yep. Just being a Netflix Activist as usual."

Hym "I'll tell the men's rights activists the same thing I pundits: I don't need you to argue poorly for rights I don't want. And you're wrong. I DO just want sex... Almost exclusively with lesbians... Which is weird. I think prostitution should be legal and it would solve my problems with women immediately."

An “activist” who’s only form of activism and gathering of information are through infographics that just often pop up in their feed or are shared by their friends. A performative activist, if you will.
A lot of infographic activists were sharing infographics of the “#letearthbreath” movement but stopped after only a week and never spoke of it again.
