Trolls are nothing more than ignorant people looking for attention. They pry and subject themselves into other people's business, they may have no correlation with. Trolls get their buzz off of the satisfaction of hurting someone or at least irritating them, a trolls variation on why they do it may vary but the results have come to somewhat of a conclusion of just getting under someone's skin. The only way that I see this problem going away is to just simply and plainly ignore them. Put up a front, “talk to the hand”, Hasta la vista, however you want to put it. The simplest comment back to a troll keeps the momentum going for them to continue with their work, but if you ignore them there is nowhere to go from there. They would basically have to start responding back to themselves if they wanted to keep it up. Trolls are a nuisance to society that talk big behind a screen and not at all in real life. Maybe that’s the problem, many people keep to themselves in reality that when they get behind a screen they let it rip because one no one knows who they are and two people can’t target them. There the ones that no one suspects, that no one would even think would do it, there the hidden society, hiding in the darkness. Much like the fantasy trolls do. The only way to get rid of these miscreants is to shun them for ever existing and sooner or later they have to give up, right?
I agree, this troll situation has led many others to even worse situations such as hurting themselves or maybe even killing themselves. Some people don't realize how they will make others feel, but some do and yes they do get a kick out of it which is why you shouldn't respond. Ignoring is the best thing to do in these situations even if it hurts and your tempted to respond don't do it. I completely agree with you Samantha👌
ReplyDeleteYes I agree too 👌. The only reason why trolling is still a relevant issue is because people allow their comments to affect them. If victims of trolling would ignore the degrading comments, there would be less "trollers".

ReplyDeleteI agree with what you're saying and I also want to add that people gain a lot more confidence behind a screen because they won't get a straight forward response that displays actual feelings. I also feel that trolls have been affected in a negative way that they want to release on people that didn't do anything to them at all.
ReplyDeleteI feel you on this whole post, trolls really do end up being people we would never expect. The anonymity of social media can kind of change any person's voice behind a screen.
