I didn't coin the term, but it describes the mindset of those who seek "safe spaces" from ideas they find strange or threatening, get "triggered" from speech or ideas that they find potentially offensive or upsetting, and see perceived value in parsing and putting into a hierarchy a checklist "historically oppressed groups" one can be slotted into based on race, gender, religion, or anything else they can imagine. For such a person, being "marginalized" or "oppressed" is a badge of honor and a status symbol. The people who fake these "hate crimes" no doubt feel entirely justified in doing so. They will argue that their fraud is irrelevant, since the "hate crimes" they fabricated are so widespread that any outrage generated by their fraud is deserved.
