Our objective is to provoke anger among social media users through the use of images. We have observed that when an image portrays an individual's perception of themselves in relation to a particular category or the group they are associated with, the emotional reactions are particularly intense. We propose that by collecting data on outgroups and discreetly incorporating visual stimuli into their social media feeds, which prompt reflexive responses reminding them of how others perceive them within the depicted context, we can gain insights into how inappropriate or stereotypical images can incite rage and even violence in individuals associated with the depicted group. This strategy of image-content interaction shows promise as a novel tool for researchers aiming to evoke specific emotions from social media users, thereby aiding in the understanding of biases against vulnerable groups when offensive or negative illustrations or photographs are employed to represent them.: The repercussions of these negative media portraya...:
