What is this "social acceptance" you speak of? Is it defined by some authority? How is it measured?
I'm not trying to be snarky, I've just been listening to A Human's Guide to Words and this term doesn't feel well defined.
From the "How to Change Your Mind" sequence: Lonely dissent doesn't feel like going to school dressed in black. It feels like going to school wearing a clown suit. (In other words, "leaving the pack" vs. "joining the rebellion")
The first rule of human club is you don't explicitly discuss the rules of human club.
There is no authority with the power to define, despite the best efforts of Dear Abby and others.
With great difficulty and much controversy.
In terms of HGW, the concept is too complex for an intrinsic definition, but there is this thing that exists in the social dynamic that can be pointed out and named as "social acceptance".
Call it SA(behaviour). ~SA(b) predicts Ostracized(Perpetrator(b)) and related phenomenon with higher probability than SA(b), which in turn predicts Encouraged(Perpetrator(b)).
