show conflict

A conflict or argument made to convince the people watching the conflict, rather than the person being confronted.
Shouting about how much of a jerk someone is will not convince that person, but it can be used as a show conflict to convince the people watching you shout at that person.

Show arguments / show conflicts are for the audience, not the attackee.

existential embarrassment

The feeling of intense embarrassment after one realizes they have constructed their sense of self on false premises.
At age 13, Matt was what you would call wapanese. Having never confronted his self-misconception for what it was, he channeled his existential embarrassment into hatred of others who reminded him of the way he used to be.

SARAH: baka! ^^;

MATT: congrats you're weeabo garbage

SARAH: :(

AMY: Matt, don't be malicious to Sarah as a form of compensation for your inability to deal with anything that reminds you of when you were 13 and deluded.

Expliment

rulebombing

Mass reporting of any violation of a rule while disrespecting the intent of the rule, just for the sake of getting something removed.
1. Someone posts a video of a political speech. There is no swearing; it could be on CNN.

2. The opponents of the person giving the speech mass report that video for containing "disturbing content," even though "disturbing content" is supposed to be something like, say, gore.

3. In reaction to the mass reports, moderators flag the video as 18+ or remove it entirely, just because of the rulebombing effect.
