bakanger

A bakanger is a term used primarily in the context of the online gaming community, particularly within the *Among Us* multiplayer game. The term combines "baker" and "anger," referring to a player who exhibits aggressive or confrontational behavior, often targeting other players they suspect of being imposters. Bakangers typically engage in excessive accusations, accusations of cheating, or disruptive actions to manipulate or frustrate others in the game.

The behavior associated with bakangers is considered toxic and disruptive, as it can undermine the cooperative gameplay of *Among Us*. Players accused of being imposters often face unfair scrutiny, leading to tension and conflict within the game. Bakangers may also engage in behaviors such as repeatedly reporting other players, spreading false information, or deliberately sabotaging the game experience for others.

The term gained prominence as a shorthand for a specific type of toxic player behavior, distinct from other forms of aggression in online gaming. While *Among Us* encourages teamwork and communication, bakanger behavior can detract from the intended social and strategic experience. Many players and moderators discourage such conduct, emphasizing fair play and sportsmanship in the community.

The term is not officially recognized by the game's developers but has become widely understood within the gaming community as a way to describe this particular type of disruptive player.
