guys, it’s rage bait, you don’t have to defend a strawman
When did “trolling” turn into “rage baiting?”
Aren’t they the same thing?
Yeah, but everyone says “rage bait” nowadays

Troll face
Oh yeah, I guess they do. It just the nature of language for different terms for the same thing to come into more popular use over time. I guess he should be renamed to “Ragebaitface.”

I think trolling and troll logic is absurdist and humorous where as rage bait is all about engagement farming by inducing negative emotions
It’s trolling when you are friendly to the perpetrator, and rage baiting when you are friendly to the victim.
