The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Taunting can exist as a form of social competition to gain control of the target's cultural capital.
- In sociological theory, the control of the three social capitals is used to produce an advantage in the social hierarchy, to enforce one's position in relation to others.
- This can also be used as a tactic to gain advantage of their opponent's irrational reaction.
