Contextual Lethality and Power Dynamics: The Weaponization of Neutral Statements and Asymmetric Risk in Mass Media

This paper explores the hidden hostile mechanics of everyday social interactions, specifically focusing on how power dynamics and situational context can weaponize objectively neutral statements. Through theoretical analysis and practical case studies, we examine situations ranging from obligatory localized social gatherings to large-scale mass media appearances. We introduce a simple mathematical framework to model the threshold of social risk and expected utility in uncontrolled environments. Ultimately, this paper argues that the preservation of social reputation and personal autonomy requires strict strategic avoidance when power dynamics are asymmetric or when contextual vulnerability is high.
