A work of fiction, be it anime, manga, novel, movie or whatever, that uses a controversial subject/elements to gain attention. It doesn't attempt to bring discussion or tell a serious story, but rather tries to lure in people only to make them pay money for a mediocre piece of entertainment.
The majority of love stories revolving around incest are nothing more than taboo bait. When will the society finally grow up and take this issue seriously ?

Get the G-bait mug.A tactic used to deliberately provoke fear in a specific person or group, just to get a reaction. Similar to rage baiting, which seeks to spark anger, fear baiting is about triggering anxiety, panic, or unease on purpose. It's typically personal or situational, rather than widespread like fear mongering. The term is most often used among friends in a joking way, though it can also describe moments where fear is pushed a little too far.
The term was coined by Twi Shorts to describe AyoDen's playful attempts to spook or freak others out.
