shockbait 

Similar to clickbait, except the text and/or image in question tries to shock the viewer with something that can easily be interpreted as NSFW, NSFL, or against TOS, but technically isn't.

Scout: *holds up magazine saying "Phild Corn"* what's this?
Spy: Oh scout, please, go fu--.
Scout: --It was you wasn't it?
Spy: No Scout, do I look like someone so immature, and degenerate as to pull something like that?
Scout: Like what?
Spy: Your mother.
*Spy pushes Scout out of his smoking room*
Scout (regaining himself): Wait! You gotta at least know something!
Spy: Scout, I'm not interested this shockbait you fell for, go bother Pyro or something...
*Spy turns around to shut the door*
Scout: Wait! What dya' mean! --
*Door slams in Scout's face*

Shortbait

A form of baiting where complex, nuanced, well-argued positions are met with the shortest possible responses, often combined with gaslighting or patholighting. Hours of writing, careful reasoning, cited sources—met with "lol no," "touch grass," "seek help," or "too long didn't read." The goal is to refuse engagement entirely while implying that the very act of making a complex argument is pathological. Shortbait communicates: your effort is ridiculous, your thinking is broken, you care too much. It's a power move that positions the baiter as above it all, too cool for thought, too sane for caring. The length of the response inversely correlates with its dismissiveness.

"I spent three hours crafting a well-researched post about economic policy. Shortbait response: 'touch grass.' That's it. They're not engaging—they're performing disengagement as superiority. My effort becomes evidence of my pathology. That's the whole game."

Person 2 (guy named Jack): bro are you stupid no its not.
Tony: Lol bro fell for the shaanbait.
