Online Trolls Are Uneducated
So within these past few weeks I have been trying to keep a close eye on the comment sections of popular pages on Instagram just to see how many trolls I could find. Throughout the weeks and the endless reading of hate comments I came to realize something interesting. Most of these trolls that we find online try their hardest to create trouble for others just by tormenting them, but what they fail to do half the time is create valid, strong arguments. I commented back on a few of these disturbing claims made by trolls just to see what exactly they were trying to do and/or say. What I came to find out was that when actually spoken back to, which they are not used to, they tend to make arguments that are extremely uneducated. These trolls try to make claims of things that are fictional. If they were to actually sit down and do a little research before berating others then I might have a little more respect for them in the sense that they were honestly doing some work to find information before trying to argue over something that they knew nothing about. Either way, trolls will still always be terrible people to me. Harassing others just for your own self amusement is sickening.

Um
ReplyDeleteThe point of trolling is to make an argument so stupid that people are provoked and want to respond in some way
We do it to aggrivate
If someone actually did research just for an argument on the internet, that makes them either a) someone who is easily provoked and therefore weak and unfit to use the internet, b) someone with too much time who argues for fun, or c) someone who feels very strongly about the topic and should therefore be targeted by actual trolls.
