The concept of organized trolling is ridiculous. It's basically a self-fulfilling prophecy. People keep believing it because trolling personally affects their social media bubble. By painting them as an organized resistance, you validate your own bubble. By becoming a secret agent puppet master like them, you created the force you think was against you in the first place. It's utterly absurd, yet brilliantly infectious, as the entire concept turns into drama: A guessing game of who manipulated who, complete with winners and losers. It allows goons like owlofcreamcheese to feel like they fought the good fight against a great evil, which in reality consisted of maybe a couple dozen people at most, and because he felt successful (MRAs still exist and there are more of them today), has a story he can tell years later like a ww2 vet.

blowfish posted:Also "Mainly GBS posting goons who occasionally enter D&D call D&D posting superstar dumb in D&D" is a really pathetic conspiracy. That's pretty much what it boils down to. Keeping track of individual goon drama is such a chore to begin with, too. It's a lot of work with little payoff.
