A cultural practice on social media where persistent, low‑grade provocation is normalized as a form of engagement. Harassposters post “just asking questions,” “concern trolling,” or subtle digs designed to needle targets into reactive outbursts. The culture valorizes those who can provoke without getting banned, and it treats the provoked party’s anger as the real offense. It’s a culture where harassment is laundered through plausible deniability.
Example: “In that subreddit, the Culture of Harasspost meant that anyone who finally snapped after months of taunts was banned, while the taunters were celebrated.”
