Takes a lot of mental energy to hold myself back from trolling ever since it's gone out of style. I was at the age where I was a child when the Internet was a teenager so I got a lot a bad influences. I got pretty good at trolling after getting trolled pretty hard a few times, few times got trolled so hard I cried. But then I got back up, and it didn't happen right away but it did happen. And I began the trolling. "Nigger", "Kike", "Fag", "LANDWHALE", oh, was that a post about your disabled cousin and how inspiring they are? YOUR COUSIN SUCKS EUGENICS FTW (even if I don't really believe that). I was a bad person online with my mean words for a while, idk why, such an asshole. I got mad when the culture shifted and trolling started to result in account erasure. So, I looked inward...and I saw a lot of stuff I didn't like. I don't troll anymore, but I wonder if it's because I've developed emotionally, or if it's because I've simply been conditioned by punishment to have a fear response that now stops me from trolling. Empathy is a secondary response, and so it is not my empathy that primarily stops me from trolling others, making light of others plight, causing them mental anguish, it's fear of reprisal. Yet there are ways I could easily get around the bans, but I don't bother, not for fear of reprisal, but for the realization that the amount of effort required to troll safely outweighs the benefit which is the pleasure of knowing you made someone mad with simple writing. I hope the world heals and that I didn't do too much damage, if I did it was an accident. I didn't mean to cause the 4th reich and ww3. I just wanted to make people mad with pepes.
