rage baiting is a really bad thing and i hate it so much these terms were suppose to be like '' oh haha milk before cereal'' but now its genuinely harassment and bullying calling people loser a pred or genuinely making people cry, i have been in a rage baiting and its also my friend and i genuinely can't do it anymore i am done with that friendship do you agree.

There is a massive difference between expressing a controversial opinion and targeted harassment. We don’t need an absolute authority to 'decide what counts as too much'—we just need basic safety rules, the same way we have laws against harassment and fraud in the real world. Letting toxic people ruin the internet for everyone else under the guise of 'free reaction' isn't freedom; it's just letting bullies win

Saying 'people choose to engage' ignores how these platforms are built. Rage bait is engineered by algorithms to exploit human psychology and trigger outrage before someone even has time to think. It's not just 'visible' toxic behavior—the platforms are actively amplifying it and feeding it to users who didn't ask for it. We shouldn't accept a toxic environment just because bullies will always exist; we should stop building systems that reward them for it

You've admitted multiple times now that this turns into real bullying. Leaving it 'out in the open' does absolutely nothing to protect the people being targeted. We don't need to make toxic behavior visible; we need to make it unacceptable. Doing nothing just allows online spaces to remain hostile.

Outrage isn't proof of what people genuinely think; it's proof of how people react when they are intentionally manipulated. Rage bait uses extreme, distorted lies specifically designed to bypass logical thinking and trigger our evolutionary fight-or-flight response. Saying outrage represents real public thought is like saying someone's scream when you jump out and scare them is their 'natural state of mind.' It's an artificial reaction to an artificial trap.
