Is there a word for when someone acts like they’re mad or indignant, but they are playing around and/or not actually mad or indignant?

        Faux outrage isn’t playing around though. They’re not doing it for fun, they’re doing it for social capital.

    Teasing. Could also be a form of flirting. It really depends upon context.
