By "netizens" I mean those relatively few Koreans who are immature, spoiled brats who need their pocket money withheld.

Just 'netizens' seems good to me, considering that's where they spend their time.

I have employed nutizens in several posts, and think it shows the most accuracy, balance, and restraint. My first thought was nazizens, but I decided not to go there.

Let's look at popular expressions Koreans use for name-calling online. Very Happy

찌질이: close to a mix of 10% 'fool,' 10% 'snob' and 80% 'loser.' I guess this is the most popular term. It's easy to romanize; "ziziri."

폐인: 'the abandoned.' Someone who spends all day on a single stuff and got nothing else/better to do.

안여돼(안경 여드름 돼지): 'glassed and pimple-headed pig.'

키보드 워리어(키워): 'keyboard warrior.'

오타쿠/오덕후: 'Otaku' (a Japanese word).

These are great.

And give pause for uneasy reflection...

That's all subjective, so fine.

I was more worried about the connotations of 폐인.

BTW: I get the irony.

haha the best way to study a language is to use it. having learned 찌질이 by using it in a post I can thank you for being a willing dartboard, you 안여돼 Smile id call you a 키보드 워리어 but thats just English in hangeul.

Kidding, Im just kidding. You know you will always be blue to me.
