Purity Bully

A toxic attention seeking person who puts others under a magnifying glass looking for something to take exception to. Makes under researched or intentionally exaggerated call out posts for attention and glory or simply to harass the target. They hide their harassment behind the guise of moral righteousness.
"She made a call out post about his discord channel saying it was showing porn to minors. Now a bunch of people are harassing him about it."

"I was on that channel, all the porn was on the age restricted +18 channel. No minorities were seeing it."

"She conveniently left that part out of her call out post. She's a purity bully."

Legal Purity

The obsessive enforcement of a singular, "uncorrupted" vision of legal process or principle, often at the expense of practical justice or mercy. It manifests as a refusal to accept plea bargains ("a pure trial or nothing"), dismissing valid cases over minor procedural technicalities, or attacking colleagues for "impure" reasoning that deviates from ideological orthodoxy. The legally pure prioritize the sanctity of their ideal system over the system's function in resolving real-world conflicts, creating a sterile, perfect, and often cruel bureaucracy.
Example: "The prosecutor's legal purity was infamous. He'd rather lose a case than offer a deal, calling plea bargains 'a contaminant of true justice.' He once had a key murder weapon suppressed because the warrant used the wrong shade of blue ink, declaring 'procedural purity is more important than a verdict.' The victims' families called him a monster with a law degree."

Status-Quo Purity

The aggressive policing of any deviation from established norms and traditions, punishing even mild reforms as contaminating a supposedly pristine, stable system. This goes beyond resistance to change; it's an active crusade to purge "impure" elements—be it new cultural ideas, technologies, or social roles—to maintain a frozen, idealized version of the past. The goal is a museum-diorama society, sterilized of dynamism.
*Example: "The neighborhood association was a cult of status-quo purity. They fined a homeowner for a non-beige mailbox, fought a new bike lane as a 'moral decay vector,' and demanded the book club remove a novel published after 1995. Their mission wasn't stability; it was the militant preservation of a specific, curated year no one actually lived in."*

Scientific Purity

The obsessive focus on methodological rigor and ideological alignment within science to the point of expelling or silencing legitimate questions that come from "impure" sources or use unconventional approaches. It values the aesthetic of correctness—peer review, specific jargon, institutional affiliation—over the messy, sometimes heretical, process of discovery. It's the bureaucratization of wonder.
Example: "The journal's scientific purity board rejected the groundbreaking paper because the researcher was an amateur without a PhD, and he'd used a homemade apparatus. The data was solid, but the provenance wasn't pure. They prioritized credentialism over the cultivation of knowledge."
