I’m about to make a new rule that if you think something is bait, you have to explain why, with support and reasoning, you think that it is bait, and if you go “well it just is” or “it feels fake” I’m going to come to your house and soak all your socks
Some of y'all never got past that toddler stage of not being able to understand that other people have different bases of knowledge and experience than you do and it shows
Honestly? On this blog and everywhere else online, if you genuinely think something is bait, the best thing to do is ignore it! Do not react to it, because if you’re correct, the thing that the poster wants is a reaction. The only way to win is by starving them of the attention and engagement they crave.
I’ve seen SO many people reblog posts to go “#umm this is obviously bait” and I’m like! What are you doing! If this is bait, you are taking it! In your quest to seem un-gullible you have been thoroughly gulled! The art of not feeding the trolls got lost somewhere and we need to find it again
