[up] If we go with Horrible Judge Of Danger, I would want to put something in the description that says "Not to be confused with Hanging Judge."

Welcome to Corneria!

My problem with Horrible Judge Of Danger is it goes in both directions. It would also apply to a complete coward who is always imagining danger when there is none.

Other names have been suggested, like Stupidity Impulse Bait and Dumb Choice Bait. What I want confirmation of right now is whether the concepts I suggested are fine or need redefining.

[up] is the second concept video game specific? because that seems pretty close to Press X to Die, and i think we have non video game examples

You seem to be right. We ought to move them (if there's any in the Schmuck Bait page) to Press X to Die.

Crowner ideas (some rewording may be needed, and it may be a 2-step process):

  • Rename
  • Retool to explicitly include non-traps (a mechanism intended to cause harm) to allow other examples that are "obviously dangerous".
  • Retool from focusing on trap by themselves, to focus on characters who foolishly decides to interact with something that has stereotypical elements of a trap.
  • Split off non-physical traps and baiting provocations
