Account less than an hour old. Made to "troll", im sure.
Very "original".
Also got banned, nice.
Such a lazy troll too.
Back in the day, a troll would manipulate people into embarassing themselves or getting into arguements, then walk away from the shitshow they'd caused.
These 'trolls' do the equivalent of shit in their pants for attention.
It's such a shame. Good trolls are slow burns, and most most importantly they're not personally invested in the topic. Honestly I compare it to comedy. A comic is on stage and points out something about a topic that on its face is comedic but then you stop and think and realize the absurdity of it and that absurdity is why it's comedic in the first place. A good troll is one that starts an argument between people who share beliefs and it should develop in such a way that people can take a step back and realize the absurdity of what they're arguing about. It should result in growth for all the parties and observers involved to realize that they're arguing over stupid meaningless stuff and that there are bigger problems than whatever they've spent who knows how long bickering about.
But it's just developed into snatching low hanging fruit and simply getting a rise out of people by simply saying slurs or bigoted comments.
