master-bait

Crude term for knockoffs or clones of the Sega SG-3000 game console, also known as the Sega Master System outside of Japan, released in 1985. It is a combination of the first word in the name of the system and “bait”, which means deception, and deliberately sounds identical to “masturbate” when pronounced out loud

“Shit, it’s just more Famiclones and Master-Bait, not a single genuine console in sight”

My sister went to a Kendrick Lamar concert dressed like ape-bait and came home with a black eye, also known as a Mudshark monocle. The toll was paid.

taboo bait

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 ?

Fear Bait

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.

1. He was fear baiting his little brother with fake ghost stories just to watch him freak out.

2. Telling her the teacher’s mad when they’re not is just fear baiting at this point.
