shit-stirring
Deliberately causing drama
Shit-stirring is deliberately provoking conflict or controversy, often by spreading gossip, making inflammatory remarks, or stirring up trouble where none existed.
A shit-stirrer enjoys watching others fight: He's just shit-stirring—ignore him.
The term implies the provocateur has no stake in the outcome beyond entertainment or malice.
