Red-Baiting

A logical fallacy that consists of making an accusation that some person is a communist, often with the aim of discrediting them. It can also be used to discredit an idea. It's most used in politics, often by right wingers when discrediting anything slightly left leaning.

Red-Baiting can be boiled down to: "Anything I don't like is communist!"

Quality bait

The act of when a roblox transit group tricks their audience into believing that their game(s) is/are high quality, but in reality they are not.

A few examples of this are the roblox transit groups MTA x Roblox and MTAoR, MTA x Roblox being a kenzie slop and MTAoR claiming to be "the best high quality trained drive on roblox", while their games look like they were made in 2015.

This game is a quality bait, don't play it.
