Intellectual Rapist

Intellectual Rapist is a type of gossiper who enjoys meddling in business and affairs of other people for the sake of their own mild curiosity. For example, people who gossip about marriages of others and about drama and the ones who want to seek "the truth" even if it hurts others are intellectual rapists.

In umineko visual novel, intellectual rapists are the "goats" characters who symbolize the curiosity of the people from the Internet and the Future about Rokkejima mystery and their desire to forge "theories" about what happened at the expense of the dignity of the deceased.

Intellectual Brazilian

"Intellectual Brazilian” (Dr Urie Bezuidenhout, 2023), this phrase is used in a debate between scholars or specialists where one of them takes a disingenuous stance, despite credible evidence presented in the discussion. The other person then rebukes them, piece by piece, for their indefensible and dogmatic position, almost like exacting death by a thousand cuts. The analogy to a Brazilian wax is that, just like a Brazilian is intended to make the person look good, it is preceded by a painful experience when successive wax strips are ripped off sensitive areas of the recipient's skin. Instead of admitting that they were wrong earlier, they have their argument painfully dismantled in small pieces by the person exacting the "Intellectual Brazilian." The primary aim of this phrase is to maintain a recipient with some dignity at the end, which is considerably better than receiving an intellectual death by a thousand cuts.
The author that doggedly dismissed evidence to the contrary, was given an Intellectual Brazilian over multiple days by an expert in a terse and almost-humiliating fashion.
