The Attention Whore (homo agnitio agnitius) is a carnivorous subspecies of human whose original habitat included Acapulco, Miami, Panama City, Dublin, and before its demise Houston. They have since been spread throughout the known universe with the help of the Borg, who use them to aid with their mad assimilation skillz by distracting all the assimilatees and feasting upon those less-suited to be assimilated. Attention whores are extremely deadly and can strike without a moment's notice.

- You know those people who don't really give two shits about a cause, but show up at protests because they want to draw attention to themselves? They're one flavor of Attention whore-dom.
- Attention whore is a slur and a sexist concept referring to a person, almost always a woman, who is perceived to be seeking attention in ways or for reasons that are considered unacceptable, especially if women are presenting femininity and/or sexuality. The standards for what is and isn't so-called "attention whoring" greatly differ depending on context. Women do not have to be presenting sexual traits, as the term is also used against women judged to be talking too much/too loudly, and even against victims who speak out against their perpetrators.

| - Attention whore is a slur and a sexist concept referring to a person, almost always a woman, who is perceived to be seeking attention in ways or for reasons that are considered unacceptable, especially if women are presenting femininity and/or sexuality. The standards for what is and isn't so-called "attention whoring" greatly differ depending on context. Women do not have to be presenting sexual traits, as the term is also used against women judged to be talking too much/too loudly, and even against victims who speak out against their perpetrators. Issues with the concept arise when sexist interpretations are applied to women who are judged as being too boisterous, or not remaining submissive enough for her gender role, and when those actions are perceived by others to be her striving for attention. Examples:
* "She's wearing a tank top, and she must know this is a Boy's club, so she must be attention whoring."
* "She has an explicitly female UID, so she must be attention whoring."
* "She's clearly attention whoring, so she must be looking for sex."
* "She's clearly attention whoring, so she must be conniving."
* "She's clearly attention whoring, so she must have a ton of gifted items and help from guys, so she's cheating at the game."
