Talk:Outrage porn

I want to write that outrage porn happens on both sides of the political spectrum. Would that still fall into being used by the deep state? Perfectlyfadeddelusions (talk) 15.54, 30 November 2022 UTC

Yes. Hidden power networks control (at least) most people on both sides in the US. Jun (talk) 16:47, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

I feel like Recreational outrage is a more effective term for this, calling things "porn" is kind of faux paux AgentTorange (talk) {my key} 02:01, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

I'd still overrule that as we use known terms and scientific concepts (as per style guide;https://wikispooks.com/wiki/Wikispooks:Standardisation#Using_Wikipedia), and outrage porn is a known concept, see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outrage_porn --Jun (talk) 02:45, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

Hmmm... seems like Recreatioal Outrage might do better as a Outrage_porn subpage describing the results of or reactions to, Outrage Porn? This excerpt from the OP I think lays out clearly that these are two different, connected concepts (not by naming them specifically mind you spreadability of emotions via social media and concluded that "Anger is a high-arousal emotion, which drives people to take action...It makes you feel fired up, which makes you more likely to pass things on.[17] Additionally, online audiences may be that last sentence is like Outrage porn/Recreational outrage in a nutshell (subpage idea a la John F.

Our style guide advises us to just keep everything on one page in case the article does not go over 50k bytes. Examples are all 9-11 pages even though some things fit on the main page. As 1 of our targets for this year is decreasing stubs, let's keep it that way for now, regardless of if or how the example like RO differs from outrage porn. Let's just start with adding to the one page, and I would ask you politely to add to this page as I moved the RO section to this page.--Jun (talk) 14:24, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
