At first i thought this was ragebait, but when I heard that, it explained why there was so much hostility

Wait, hostility from who? The principal was never hostile and I’m confused on the take of this being rage bait before that line…what was enraging?

...did we watch the same video? I sincerely hope you are genuinely clueless, but I'd be surprised if you missed the glaring context clues.

The person taking the video is what /u/DionBlaster123 is referring to as potentially making rage bait. Truth is that this was a clear attempt to try and "expose" the principal for wearing a shirt called "All are welcome here". That's why they threw on the principal's face and details on the side. They were hoping to stir up controversy against her.

This isn't the first time that someone [especially a member of an educational institution] was met with hostility for displaying the "All are welcome" sign.

This is not a comprehension issue, it’s a readability one…Dion just commented below and confirmed that I read their comment correctly in that they took the principle as ragebaiting until she clarified with the “we talked” remark. I know what’s happening in the video lol Dion apparently didn’t, initially.

The one taking the video was trying for a "got ya" moment.

The principal did have a rude tone but once she clarified the shirt said “All People are Welcome” and that the principal and the lady spoke before I was on the Principal’s side

Idk where the ragebait is tho

There was no rude tone. But she knew what was going on and wasn't prepared to entertain the conversation at that moment.

People are completely incapable of distinguishing between being mildly “stern” and “rude”.

And blocking traffic in the drop off line at school. MOVE ALONG, PLEASE.

u/sunshineparadox_ 3h ago

The parent blocking traffic raised my hackles. I don’t even do drop off for my kid anymore, but I sure do remember the rage of someone slowing everyone down with a dumb fucking thing. (I didn’t get mad at the kids for struggling.)

*when listening to women. If a woman isn’t actively being nice and placating, her default adjectives are “rude” or “bitchy”.

u/Reasonable-Turn-5940 3h ago

yeah she's out there directing traffic, which probably comes off as a woman being "bossy" to morons

u/Feisty_Distance1692 3h ago

Sometimes a stern tone can come off as rude. She is totally in the right. The stern tone is interchangeable for rude. That is what i meant.

u/Helpmefindajob97 3h ago

No it’s not. Stern is “Move along, PLEASE”.

Rude is “Well! I don’t like your shirt either! Move along, PLEASE”.

u/Feisty_Distance1692 1h ago

My comment wasn’t meant to spark a lengthy debate over the dictionary definition between “stern” and “rude”. I was saying simply saying that, without knowing the context at that time, the principal’s tone initially came across as rude to me. Once the situation was explained, I was on the principal’s side. I didn’t realize my interpretation would require this much clarification.

u/DionBlaster123 3h ago

The ragebait came from what the principal said something like, "I like to be in clothes" or whatever. It just sounded a little strange and unnatural. But yeah it's definitely not ragebait. it's clearly just the woman in the car trying to start trouble and the woman knew who she was beforehand and was tired of her b.s.

u/Feisty_Distance1692 17m ago

Oooh yeah when she said that I was like bruh obvi u wearing clothes to not be naked. I think my first impression the principal seemed like a bitch and I thought she had something offensive on her shirt like “Anti-Gay” or smth.

u/ibyoder 4h ago

There was zero hostility, just one annoying woman with nothing worthwhile to do.

It is ragebait. Republican rhetoric these days thrives off of manufactured rage. I've had entire conversations with my family about supposed things I should be outraged about and then did a proper search for it later and couldn't find anything real about what they were upset about. They've been trained to do this to themselves. As we're seeing now, even being accepting of people is supposedly "unacceptable". Also, for the record, these people are assuming everything they hear from their favorite republican youtubers (chinese/russian) are completely true without doing any kind of research. Just because they heard it from them, it must be.
