The Righteous Rhino
Master of Mayhem
Behavior Identifier
He considers every WhatsApp group his personal debate stage. Picture this colossal creature, refusing to step down, transforming casual chatter into a coliseum where only the strongest
opinions survive. They are impervious to counterarguments, their hide too thick for differing perspectives to penetrate.
Sample WhatsApp Posts
“Our community is rooted in 10,000 years of civilization. Our values cannot be questioned by a generation educated on 10 years of Netflix.”
“Emotions cloud your judgment! If you’d cared to read the Constitution you would realize that we’re living in a Dictatorship.”
“The outside world may be corrupt. We must still stand together, even with those who seem different, for the ultimate victory!”
“Look at these pictures, millions and millions join the enlightened, bathed in eternal and radiant truth. How can anyone question our faith!”
“Every 12th pass is getting 97 percent. In our time, you EARNED those high marks.”
(In a Health and Lifestyle group) “This focus on breathing is pointless. Where’s the real physical challenge?” (Sparking off a post. from the Know-it-all-Owl).
(Shares video titled) “EXPOSING the lies of western medicine.”

Keeping the Peace
The Rhino’s posts may be exasperating, but reacting with anger fuels the fire. Perhaps try:
- Redirection: “Dear Determined Debator-Ji this article deserves epic levels of discussion! Let’s create a separate WhatsApp group for it.”
- On his negative news commentary: “Valid point, Pessimistic Prognosticator-ji! Any sources of GOOD news that inspires you these days?”
The Gentle Nudge
Towards Self-Reflection
- Your post: “Sometimes letting others have the limelight is its own kind of wisdom. Intelligence means having the ability to learn something new!”
- “It’s so refreshing for all 100 of us in the group to hear a different point of view.”
- “Request you to share the address of your Flat Earth Society.”
Inner Motivations
The Righteous Rhino is a product of yesteryears, clinging to age-old opinions as the world changes rapidly around him. This insecurity drives his need to assert his knowledge, even if it
seems outdated. His unsolicited lectures mask a fear of becoming irrelevant and a desire to be heard and understood. He relies on controversial posts to engage others, even if it’s driven by
frustration rather than connection. Deep down, he craves meaningful conversations but struggles to connect naturally.

Trivial Tidbits
Rhinoes are known for their thick skin- criticism seems to bounce right off them, rarely ltering their strongly held stance.
