Swampification is a linguistic skill sometimes used while communicating with a certain segment of a population. Basically telling
people what they want to hear because they'
re too fragile to just accept things and need to be spoon fed obvious ideas in a way that they can agree.
Early research shows that swampification - or swampifying - is more effective* as relating ideas to these folk because it allows an actual honest-to-God new thought to be absorbed by the listener without them feeling the
shame of having to learn
something new... which of course to them translates as having to admit they might be wrong, or
don'
t already know everything.
Results have consistently pointed that this flimsy tough-
guy/macho-
man facade acts a sort-of childhood security blanket and provides them a sense of comfort, not unlike someone wearing a really bad hair
piece, and as such the best course of action is to basically ignore the obvious flaws if you want to get through to them. Calling them out on it will only anger them. Set
low expectations, expect little to no progress.
*As of the present date, no known methods of effective communication with, or within, this segment of the population has been identified.
Random convo pre-swampification:
u/Flying-Turtl3: "Gay
marriage should be legal because love is love and people just want to be happy and content, together."
Swamp creature: "Fuck off with that
pussy hippie free love shit."
Same random convo mildy swampified:
u/Flying-Turtl3: "Gay marriage should be legal because why the fuck do you care who fucks who in the ass? mind your own damn business."
Swamp creature: "Well hot damn! The angry bald
man is right."
