			[[Ragebaiting]], also known as "rage baiting," refers to the deliberate act of provoking or inciting anger, frustration, or outrage in others, typically through online interactions. This behavior often occurs in digital spaces such as forums, social media platforms, and multiplayer games, where individuals may use inflammatory language, misleading information, or provocative challenges to elicit strong emotional reactions. While sometimes employed as a form of humor or trolling, [[Ragebaiting]] can also contribute to toxic online environments and negatively impact mental health.

			{{H2\|Definition and Context}}
			[[Ragebaiting]] is a subset of trolling behavior, characterized by the intentional use of rhetoric or actions designed to provoke an emotional response. It may involve exaggerating controversial statements, posting content that appears to endorse extreme views, or engaging in debates with the sole purpose of inciting hostility. The term gained traction in online communities, particularly in gaming and meme culture, where it is sometimes used as a strategy to generate engagement or amusement. However, it is often criticized for fostering division and encouraging aggressive behavior.
