Now Coining: Barking Persecutor!
A barking persecutor is a reference to the phrase "All bark and no bite". This is a term for persecutors who may:
Regularly threaten to or talk about harmful things, despite seldom or never doing them (E.g. "What if I fronted and cut off all our friends?") This can be in a way distressing enough to other headmates to be a persecutor or not.
Play/Make sounds or music in an intentionally or unintentionally distracting way
Regularly brag about harmful actions
These headmates, especially the first definition, can often be formed from intrusive thoughts, paraphilias, etc.
