• RelatedそそのかすNeutralIncites someone to do something bad, stressing the stirring up. 「丸める」 coaxes a person into compliance, not necessarily toward anything bad.
• Related煽るあおるNeutralStirs up feelings or events, and literally fans flames. 「丸める」 in this sense is coaxing someone into compliance, not whipping up emotion.
