Yeah I was under the impression that Sade was, while not exactly "trolling" for his day, still doing something intended to comment satirically on the grotesque hypocrisy of imperial French social mores.

I mean, when he was allowed on the battlements of the bastille out of his cell, he would shriek obscenities at the people passing by. When the revolution was building, his shrieking became political. I think that regardless of his political opinion, he was some kind of severe misanthrope.
