See you can troll people without ever meeting them or interacting with them but through use of software in games and otherwise.UniversalAC said:
Indeed, whatever I say. You see, there are such things as "terms" and "definitions" you should familiarise yourself with. The term "trolling" has a strict and rather limiting definition. While it can be harmful, it is rarely able to be traumatic, because it is supposed to cause visible reaction for trolls amusement, not force a certain person into certain emotional state. If you are unaware of that - it's yours trouble.UniversalAC said:
Um...why are these two supposed to be different? Also, why do you think they can never be the same? Are you familiar with the phrase "U mad, bro?", because that's been associated with trolling for a long time now. Yes, this is what the troll would say to a victim. And "being mad" is an emotional state - one that can be amusing to the troll. Any emotional state could be amusing to the troll, depending on what they are after. Heck, in fact, you pretty much cannot get a reaction out of a person without them being in a certain emotional state. Trolling is "forcing an emotional state" pretty much by definition.Rastrelly said:
Did someone actually die or are we trusting a random twitter user who says "proof is key" then relies on a single, vague tumblr post to confirm that someone died because of SJW bullies?tf2godz said:
Yes, but trolling is not supposed to be used as a harassment tool. Nowadays the term is basically turned into something almost pointless because some people prefer to call harassers, bullies or even simple idiots; same happened to the "meme" term, which almost lost any meaning at all. In this situation it is useful to stick to origins, and by those troll is simply a provoker who creates controversial situation within current discussion in order to change its direction, nothing more. As soon as "troll" starts harassment, he loses the status of troll and becomes - SUDDENLY - a simple bully.DoPo said:
Boom! Headshot. I'm sooo wrong! There are no ways to get a definition but that omniscient Oxford dictionary! My Gawd! I'm so devastated! Please, someone, bring me an ambulance! So sarcastic! So smart! So mature! I can't stand it!UniversalAC said:
That original post made laugh, I mean, there are ACTUAL NAZIS on Tumblr that call for those things, why do they need to pretend it's someone else? Turns out when you have a free blogging platform with a decent UI, people of all sorts will use it. Tumblr has a lot of problems, it's moderation is very lacking, people abuse the tag system terribly (one great example of and this is when a bunch of charming "trolls" got together to spam a tag for survivors of sexual assualt with incredibly violent rape fantasy porn), and then there's always the chance that someone you follow because they post old comic covers will suddenly decide to branch out into anthro porn, which you will then scroll past on your dashboard, in the middle of class, while there are girls sitting behind you.erttheking said:
Nobody is dead,but she did indeed attempt to kill her self according to the people who are clsoe to her.irishda said:
OK first of all this person is an artist, be they a Tumblr artist or Deviantartist or what have you how do they make money these days? Generally through a patreon account(or commissions or something like that) and that means they have to have some amount of interaction with people who want to see their art. Clearly this person isn't quite cut out for this kind of thing but they also clearly have some talent for art. But if they want to make money as an artist with their talent this is pretty much their only option especially as a teenager(again that uses their talent for art, I'm also just assuming she's a teenager because there is talk about her mother in this thread).HardkorSB said:
Whether or not this is fake I can't say, but I will say something seems missing from this whole affair. Could be information hasn't come to light yet, or that there are some details misrepresented, or it is an all out hoax. I don't know, but for now I want to know a little more before I make any judgements.1981 said:
I have depression, and I'd say that at least I'm not in a complete mental state. Insane is a different word and has a different meaning. Insanity is a terrifying thing that I hope I never even skirt with. But mental instability? Yeah.Lightspeaker said:
Wow...fantastic comment. Genuinely. I think you got it so well there that I don't think I could add any more to it.DizzyChuggernaut said:
Not true at all.thaluikhain said:
That's why I dislike both. It's an easier position to hold and doesn't come with any pesky double standards.DizzyChuggernaut said:
And this is the most depressing part of the situation.
actually, there is recent legal precedent that held a girlfriend liable for convincing her boyfriend to kill himself.thaluikhain said:
All I can add to this thread is thank fuck she's still alive and in a place there'll be help for her.karloss01 said:
