Tribute (sexual act)
ejaculating onto a something and posting an image of the result online
A tribute, or cum tribute, is a sexual activity that involves masturbating and/or ejaculating on the picture of a person. Originating as an online sex game, this act has gained recent coverage for its use in cyberbullying as a way to spite, intimidate a victim or achieve sexual satisfaction over them with impunity.
Definition
A tribute consists of ejaculating on a portrait, and then recording the portrait and the semen together. Tributes often circulate in dedicated online communities composed mostly of men. Sometimes, they take the form of a video, which are known as hatewank or tribute videos depending on the context. Some tributes can feature men or random objects as targets. More commonly, the targets are women, either real or fictional. Tributed individuals can range from celebrities, to semi-public individuals like journalists, to low-profile individuals like the tributer's partner. It can be considered as a form of fetish activity.
Origins
A 2022 Vice article frames tributes as a form of bukkake-by-proxy, as both portray multiple men ejaculating on one woman.

Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as ejaculating onto a something and posting an image of the result online. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
