Navigating the Rage Bait Era: Insights on Outrage Culture and Social Media

In this episode of 'Karaoke Wine,' Jules and Tessa dive deep into the topic of 'rage bait,' discussing its nomination as Oxford's word(s) of the year for 2025 and its impact on social media and real-world events. They explore how online content is designed to elicit anger and outrage, the spread of misinformation, and the psychological aspects behind people's reactions to rage bait. The conversation touches on various societal issues including the political climate, gender identity debates, and the effects of deep fake technology. The hosts also share personal anecdotes and reflections on how rage bait influences their daily lives and broader society. Additionally, they emphasize the importance of constructive discourse and the need for empathy and understanding in today's polarized world.

Please note that we mentioned a story about a man dressed as a deer that was in a hunting accident. We researched and found that this was satire (click bait) not factual, which is on theme for this episode.

Enjoy!
