Schrodinger’s Rage Bait

When your friend says something a dumb “hot take”, but waits for the reaction of the group to claim it was rage bait.

Friend 1: why does Jake always say the dumbest takes in the group chat?
Friend 2: He thinks it’s funny to rage bait us, but he’s actually just stupid
Friend 1: Ah I get it, he waits to be called out to say he was just trying to get a rise out of us
Friend 2: exactly, it’s a Schrodinger’s Rage Bait

Rally bait

Someone that totally sucks at life. Cookie Monster would never be rally bait because when he sees a cookie he takes it. Someone who is rally bait is less like Cookie Monster and more like Oscar. Oscar never leaves the trash can, he just waits for someone to come by and pops out with a grumpy face and no cookies.

“Don’t leave your cookies out, that guy will take them.”

“Nah, he’s just some rally bait.”

queer baiting

When delusional people in fandoms want to say "I'm butthurt my favorite pairing didn't happen", but they want to sound noble while saying so.

"I can't believe those two didn't end up together after so much teasing!"
"They barely even talked to each other-"
"QUEER BAITING!!!"

comment bait

a shameful tactic that content creators use to get mindless NPC's to comment on their videos. The content will usually have zero context, contain blatant lies or something they pulled straight out of their ass to invoke controversy. The more comments they receive, the better the chances are of the video going viral. Similar to clickbait and rage bait except the goal is to confuse the viewers into getting them to interact with each other. avoid.

B: "this guy really posting saying he is god and was reincarnated in china. he also has gta 7.
A: "bro, that shit is obv comment bait. gtfoh."
B: "you right, he ain't worth my time."
