fanboy baiting

A phrase with two meanings:

1) When the writer(s) of a geek franchise introduce backstory, characters, rules, lists of information, and other continuity details that are intentionally vague, contradictory, and unresolved. The intent is to provoke fan wank and other arguments while always having the carrot of "this issue, we find THIS out!" to dangle in front of fans. Mainstream superhero comics run almost exclusively on this.

2) When a blogger or other editorial writer does an in-depth analysis of a creative work radically counter to the assumptions of its fanbase in order to provoke outrage and fan wank. Usual tactics include "over-analyzing" fantastical elements (e.g. "Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex"), unflattering interpretations of the themes, and otherwise presenting valid arguments why the story does not logically work.
1) Kingdom Hearts creator Tetsuya Nomura's introduction of a dozen vague, unresolved plot points and refusal to clarify anything is classic fanboy baiting.

2) I wrote a fanboy-bait article explaining why Usagi of Sailor Moon is a terrible role-model. I bet I'll have a hundred pissed-off comments by tonight.

Queer baiting

Generally speaking when a straight man or woman makes sexual jokes toward someone who is apart of the LGBTQ community in a “haha kidding (I’m not kidding)” kind of way. It’s actually very uncomfortable. Ex: Just because a woman is attracted to other women it doesn’t mean that YOU are those other women.
Straight Girl Friend: Omg haha I’m gonna leave my husband for you cause we’d be so much better together

Girl…friend: You’ve said this like 10 times it’s really weird

Str8: Haha I’m kiddiinnggg but like actually I totally would

Girl…friend: I wouldn’t. You’re queer baiting go kiss a cheerleader or something

jail bait

jail bait is when a underage girl is interested in a older man she wants to have sex with or date and she has all the guy stuff about the woman of his dreams, these young girls can even look older than girls his age like if shes 13 and hes 24, she could look more than a 21 year old he wouldn't date because she look too young. and she seduces and won't leave him alone until she has sex with him like he's a trophy piece and don't care if he get lock up, knowing he will and she won't lie to the police or the court system like prosecutors and judge so he will get away with it even if she done it for someone else before, so he wouldn't go to jail but did it to him who probably really loved her., but they don't have to always look more grown, they can just be the most beautiful girl he ever saw for and see the potential in her when she grows up. sometimes it just be about sex, relationships could start or marriage depending on the girl...but young girls just want to party and have fun. and not interested in settling down early but will lie to you so you will have sex with them and act like the perfect girl so you took advantage of her youth so she can keep on looking good in society and get more people to date while you hung out to dry , hated or kill or lock up in prison and go through the worst punishment ever. and when they grow up they hide it to death knowing how wrong they are.
don't go there bro, she's jail bait.

and those people still in prison, and they don't even care or try to get them release because they know they probably hate them or want to kill them because they know the truth. and no one ever cares. but thats because its really is some old pevert as predators out there messing it up for the few good man probably none left now anyway so forget it even if it was in prison they not good no more after being in there even a few days could change you for the worst. its nothing but evil people in prison so good people don't survive. its either change or die. or be someone bitch. you can get a job as a prison guard or correctins officer if you want to see, not transport officer. i should add more but thats good enough . it's not like i get paid for this. but i will say this , each case is case by case and unique, you can't change any two situations the same, so thats why i said that.

bigot-bait

Strategy often used by like-miners and like-farmers to mindlessly dismiss often accurate observations and opinions. Using assorted logical fallacies that appeal to common bigots, they quickly get likes and hearts for their efforts from the deluded masses.
Using straw-man and ad hominem as bigot-bait, the hopelessly deluded like-miner chooses rabble-rousing over rational discourse.

frau bait

A combination of "frau", which is German for "Mrs." or "woman" and the word "bait", in the sense of tempting someone, the contemporary meaning of "frau bait" is two-fold:
1) a good-looking, almost pretty, young man who appeals to (often older) women
2) soft, sensitive, romantic or non-macho qualities, gestures or abilities displayed by a male, which are stereotypically thought to be appealing to women
1) With those lovely long blond locks, the band members were all frau bait. Did you hear all the screaming in the audience?

2) If you want to score with her, bring her a single red rose. That's always total frau bait.
