Antagonist 

An antagonist is a character(s), institute, or concept that is used as a force of opposition towards the protagonist. Often, in most cases, the antagonist is a bad guy, a villain, however that isn't always the case. In some cases, the antagonist could very well be a good person, a hero.
Person 1: Those cops in those movies where they try to stop criminals are good antagonists.
Person 2: But they are good people. How are they antagonists?
Person 1: Antagonists aren't necessarily bad people. They just oppose the protagonists, in which some cases the protagonists is the evil one. Like Death note. Light Yagami may be the protagonist, but you know he's the evil one and L, the guy trying to stop him, despite him being the good guy, is the antagonist of the story.

fantagonist

An immature, small-minded, pathetic creature that becomes a facebook "fan" of someone just so they can spew hateful rhetoric about them and insult the true fans.
"In between welfare checks, the fantagonist made hundreds of posts to a prominent conservative's page."

Bandwagonist 

A bandwagonist is someone who mindlessly goes along with an action or idea, without any real reason other than other people are doing it.
A prime example of Bandwagonists are Facebook politicans around the time of an election. They don't know why they hate David Cameron, they just do because the other people's statuses say so, and feel the urge to post similar statuses to be involved.

Antagonistic Marketing 

Antagonistic Marketing is a strategy used by media companies like Disney. Basically you come in throwing stones hoping to stir up controversy. You deliberately want some people to be offended. You sacrifice a smaller market in hopes of capturing a larger one. You also hope that by making people angry you will bait them into constantly talking about your movie/TV show/video game, giving you free publicity and helping grow exposure for your product. This is all rooted in the false idea that any press is good press.
Alex: Did you see the trailer for that new Netflix show?
Bob: Yeah, it's all people talk about.

Alex: It's just trying to force controversy, like all Antagonistic Marketing schemes.
