Scrolling her twatter feed makes me think this is a thirst trap account. If you're inclined to simp after a randomly selected picture just be careful, Brits.

In the past 2 weeks I started seeing this term "thirst" trap or post. Genuine question, what is this? New terms come out monthly now. Can't even keep up.

I've seen that term years ago. I even used it here.

It is trying to either farm engagement or promote an agenda by use of sex appeal.

promote an agenda

In this case it's probably more of a LEO honeypot. I suspect it isn't a 19 year old hottie that's answering all the affection seeking sympathizers that are feverishly DMing the account.

More likely a bored constable that's making a list and checking it twice.

Honey pots are indeed another use.

The term "thirst trap" has been around for a while, and I'd venture to guess it emerged during the social media boom. It's a general term for photos that are revealing and/or provocative. The implication is that these photos bait "thirsty", some sort of zoomer phrase meaning "horny", men into commenting on them.

BTW, part of the reason why zoomers and gen alpha are becoming retarded is that a lot of terms zoomers use are copy-pasta'd from black slang/eubonics/African-American Vernacular English (it's a retarded academic and politically correct term to mean nigga language).

What happens is that blacks on Twiter/TikTok use a bunch of words as slang to mean certain mundane shit since they even type in eubonics, a lot of which that has been around in their "community" for years, if not decades, but easily impressionable and smoothbrained zoomers/gen alpha kids pick it up. It used to be Twitter, but now with the current generation it's from TikTok, then it goes from TikTok, filters back to Twitter, then spreads to other platforms. I fucking hate it as well.

There's a bunch of words you probably have heard being used purely because of this.

Netflix and chill - Inviting someone over/going to someone's place to eventually have sex with them
Thirsty - desperate for sex
Rizz - Charisma/having a swagger that makes the other party want to be with you
let them cook - Don't interrupt them while they're doing a good/smart/awesome thing.
cooked - They're done for, finished. No longer relevant to the conversation and/or lost their groove.
vibing - Literally just "chilling". Or they find something they're listening to pleasant to have playing.

Take note, full blown eubonics is near fucking impossible to understand when in written form. But a lot of the more easier to "understand" concepts, like what I wrote above, ended up being adopted by non-basketball-American zoomers and gen alphas.

The next generation are literally getting fucking dumber because they're listening to what black people are saying for slang. It's scary as hell.

If you see a young account with tits on the profile (attractive looking white girl) and they appear to look like they're in the instagram/onlyfans whore age and they're spouting based points, be mindful that it may be a catfish.

Unless they've done actual streams or there's some recording of their face IRL through some video content made (i.e. like Lauren Chen before the glowies got to her) and that they have a LONG history of posting based stuff, don't engage.

There's some "based" women out there but some of them are kinda ex-leftist types who still hold a lot of views that the manosphere and a lot of traditional conservative types would find undesirable, so they still have that mentality that it's perfectly ok to exploit their sexuality to get clicks/views. If titties scare you and/or you're a tradcon/white ethnonationalist type who wants women to not be whores online and be stay at home moms, these type of women may piss you off.

Some of the younger women that the Daily Wire hires are like that. They're not slutting it up but you know a bunch of thirsty younger right wing guys are signing up just because it's a semi-pretty face on the screen.

The problem now is that the current group that has organized to fight the left is composed of a bunch of groups with agendas that conflict with each other. The leftist ideology is so destructive and fucked up that all these moderate and right wing groups that would normally be bickering with each other have formed a loose coalition to stop them.

So that's how you end up running into shit like thirst traps and actual grifters who "use" the loose alliance of ideological allies to milk money/profit from it. If the culture war ever calms down, at some point the separate groups will probably split up and start bickering with each other again.
