How it's used

Beyond the literal sense of animals hunted for food, this term is frequently used metaphorically in social contexts to describe someone being pursued romantically or targeted for manipulation. It carries a strong sense of power imbalance, implying that the hunter is in control while the target is vulnerable. Using it to describe a person can sound quite aggressive or predatory depending on the tone.
