Can someone explain to me the concept of feigned ignorance? 🤔
Discussion
Sounds like the same concept as “playing dumb”
You act like you don’t know stuff because you want someone to treat you a certain way. It’s a manipultion of sorts.
Really offensive to those of us who are literally retarded
I'm not sure how that works.
Artificial ignorance is a way to hack people bc everyone can come to the ignorant one's rescue. Very manipulative kinda like a damsel in distress. nostr:npub12rze589jx0gg6kslkjfl2gxxkhtlw73t5shyve5qrglrv6c2qflqejj7ns might have some thoughts on this too.
Yes, exactly. Humans like to feel smarter/superior to others, so individuals use this to their advantage to drive engagement and to form relationships with their targets.
Many people on social media will pretend to be ignorant, or will post things that are obviously inaccurate, or downright false, to get engagement on their posts. People love to "dunk" on others, or point out how much smarter they are, with little knowledge/regard of what is actually happening.
Can you explain what you mean? I’m trying to understand, but not sure if you’re asking a real question… 🤷🏼♀️😂
Are you doing this right now? 🤔
