Agreebait
The sinister mirror of Disagreebait: agreeing with everything a person says, but in a way designed to mock, undermine, or trap them. The Agreebaiter offers enthusiastic consent that feels wrong—too quick, too complete, too performative. "Oh absolutely, you're so right, everyone should totally do that" when what you said was obviously not serious. The goal is to make the target feel foolish, to push them into an extreme they didn't intend, to expose them through "support." It's agreement as weapon, consent as mockery, the friend who says "you're right, you should definitely tell your boss exactly what you think of them" and watches the fireworks.
"I joked that maybe I should quit my job and become a hermit. Agreebait: 'Yes! Do it! You deserve to follow your dreams! Society is a prison!' Suddenly my joke is now a life plan they're 'supporting' to make me look ridiculous. That's not support—that's a trap with a smile."
