keeping the rent low

In real life, it's unsavory, dangerous, or disgusting actions done in urban rental property - be intentional or unintentional - to deter new tenants and force the landlord from increasing the rent (as no one would normally pay high rent for an unsafe or unkept property, and the existing tenants stay because of the lower price).

Online, it's a community's acts of exaggerated unpopular behavior as a way to gatekeep by attempting piss off and deter unwanted members and behaviors on purpose. Said behavior may not necessarily be how the community actually behaves.

Guy 1: Landlord's about to increase the rent

Guy 2: *plays porn on max volume* *discharges a pistol in the air* *pisses on the floor outside*

Guy 2: There, I'm keeping the rent low

Paying the people around me with money you made from my enslavement to help you keep me enslaved

And I still don't give a single absolute fuck about historical slavery or child murder.

Hym "Paying the people around me with money you made from my enslavement to help you keep me enslaved now going to be the impetus for child murder. They should have told you to go fuck yourself so I'm going to go ahead and do it for them. Go fuck yourself!"
