    If your aim is to convince, its useful to be calm and respectful regardless of how rude or disingenuous the other person is

    Honestly I'm not sure this might even be true because of how poisoned our culture is. People enjoy watching assholes trolling other people. People love watching people insulting somebody else if it's in a humorous manner. Many people have admitted that they stuck around and checked out r/chapotraphouse because they found the community culture hilarious and fun

    The most popular livestreamers are overwhelming douchey and rage on camera all the time

    If we want to reach the younger generation, we have to be witty assholes

    Appeal to emotion works just as well or even better logic many times

    Here's a study proving that being a funny asshole actually gives you more credibility and trust over somebody who is always logical and correct but speaks in a boring manner

        I do be nice and nicely explain things to people who seem like they have an open mind and are asking in good faith out of curiosity though. I feel like directly answering those willing to learn and making a mockery of the unwilling is a good way to maximize the draw of our community

        Also I'm so sorry about the photo, don't ask what happened there lol

        The study is here
