# Trolling
|
||||
|
||||
Trolling is a linguistically fairly recent term that has evolved alongside the [Internet](internet.md) and whose meaning ranges from an activity of purposefully causing [drama](drama.md) (mostly on the Internet) for entertainment (the original, narrower meaning) to just shamelessly abusing rules of any system on the detriment of others (narrower meaning, e.g. *[patent](patent.md) trolling*, pre-election *media trolling* etc.). Core value of the narrow-sense trolling is simply [fun](fun.md) on the detriment of others -- trolls are those who before the Internet would be called something like jokers or pranksters, however [real life](irl.md) pranks have limited potential -- on the Internet on the other hand trolling can flourish (likely owing to the aspect of [anonymity](anonymity.md), lack of nonverbal communication, lack of consequences and responsibility and so on), so this [art](art.md) has evolved into something more, it is by now an inseparable part of Internet [culture](culture.md) (and should probably become protected by Unesco). Trolling is cherished by people who don't take things too seriously and can make fun of themselves and is therefore embraced by forums like [4chan](4chan.md); on the other hand it is demonized by those without sense of humor and those who mostly get butthurt by it ([reddit](reddit.md), [Wikipedia](wikipedia.md) and other "safe space" networks). [Evil](evil.md) is always afraid of fun.

Trolling is cherished by cool people who don't take things too seriously and can make fun of themselves and is therefore embraced by forums like [4chan](4chan.md); on the other hand it is demonized by those without sense of humor, those who fear the power of humor (e.g. dictators and fascists) and those who mostly get butthurt by it ([reddit](reddit.md), [Wikipedia](wikipedia.md) and other "safe space" networks). [Evil](evil.md) is always afraid of fun.

A typical example of troll occurred e.g. circa 2006 when in the game [World of Warcraft](wow.md) some guys pulled the world boos Lord Kazzak into Stormwind, one of the game's main cities, where of course this beast towering above all buildings proceeded to assrape the whole city and anything that stood in his way -- the boss couldn't even be killed because he healed every time he killed someone and with so many low level noobs and NPCs in reach he was just healing constantly. This was an ingenious move but of course, Blizzard like a huge unfunny pussy just stepped in, restarted the server and stopped all the fun because constantly dying several hours in a row was making some of their customers potentially unhappy. Blizzard is full of imbeciles who only listen to money of course.

Here are some potentially entertaining ways of trolling (they'll be written from the point of view of a fictional character so as to avoid legal responsibility for potential crimes they may inspire lol):
