Social News

News from your peers. Word of mouth news. News 2.0
Tammy logged onto her Facebook to read the social news coverage on a concert that she was unable to attend. She read comments, saw pictures, and watched some of the concert on video which was recorded on a smartphone. She felt happy because she finished her term paper and still felt as if she was actually at the concert.

Social Platypus

Someone who cannot be placed into to any social archetype. Just like a platypus cannot be catagorized by biologists
Damn, Marie is such an oddball. I can’t catagorize her, she’s like a platypus… a social platypus

Social Manipulator

Someone who will ask you for your opinion or ask you “questions” with the intent to coerce you into an argument. If they don’t like what you have to say, they will use it against you to triangulate people within a social circle. Social manipulators do this to feed off the drama they created.

Typically they do this to gain social clout within their community and or on social media where the social manipulator will manufacture lies, launch a smear campaign against you to gain support for the lies they made up about you. They achieve this by gaslighting the community with cherry picked screenshots that do not provide the community with enough information to assess the situation for themselves. Sometimes they will just out right expect you to blind follow them by telling you, you just need to ‘trust them’.
They tried to coerce me into talking badly about a mutual friend and when I wouldn’t, they accused me of trying to silence them, then dragged me across social media based on the lies they made up to gain attention. What a social manipulator.
