Outrage factor

Outrage factor is when something is said or done that makes people very angry. Some people try to use the outrage factor to get a reaction from people. For example, if a person thinks a TV show or movie is too violent, they might post something about it on their social media, which could make other people angry. The outrage factor can also be used to get people to do something, like sign a petition, go to a protest, or donate money.
