Rage Bait Artist

A rage bait artist is an individual whose entire online presence/personality is defined mostly by their topics or demeanor in which they incite rage by using intentionally provocative wording that is meant to further antagonize through manipulation tactics such as cherry-picking, red herring, or otherwise disingenuous logical fallacies meant to paint a particular narrative rather than the more complex truth.

"Did you see that video of a guy belittling sports he disagreed with? Another rage bait artist pushing for reactions he likes"

Rage bait

When you ragebait someone, ur basically provoking them to swear you and your entire family and relatives, or when you piss someone off (either in online either irl) . In online you basically piss someone off to swear you and your entire family and relatives and then leaving the call or even ghosting you. In real life you get GHOSTED.

John: - Install Warframe!
Alex : - No, i'd rather play fortnite again.
John: - Install Warframe!
Alex: - SYBAU, and then leaves.
John (later with Alex) :You rage baited back there!!
