Looks like a headline from a fictional news segment in The Boys
That's the one that conservatives thought the villain was the good guy, right? I'm not sure if that's a thing that really happened or just a satire of conservatives famously poor media literacy.
Yeah I think you'd be right to be suspicious. There's at least as many people who pretend to think something dumb on the internet for the lulz, as there are people who actually believe it.
Trolling is a art form.
Hi! Nothing in your short post was offensive or stupid so I apologize for the wall of text I'm going to dump on you. And I'll caveat what I'm about to say with "People find ways to be clever in all kinds of situations, so you're even kind of right." But...
I'm going to take a stand, on a very subjective topic, and say loudly; No, Trolling is not an art form. I hate this fucking take. Trolling takes all kinds of forms but its unifying element is to make other people 'upset'. Sometimes mad. Sometimes sad. Sometimes confused. Sometimes depressed. You know what else does that? Existing at all in this fucking ghastly, unjust, terrible world. People start pissed off, and Trolls dog pile on and take credit. Trolling is art in the same way painting a freshly painted white wall in more white is fucking art- you accomplished fuck all.
Being kind is fucking art. More than art it's fucking design, and craft and construction. Making someone happy. Hopeful. Joyous. Inspired. That takes fucking art. It takes hard work, sometimes sacrifice, and always intellect. And you have to do it in direct defiance of the whole fucking world.
You should probably know that 'trolling is a art form' is kind of a meme, because the statement itself has an obvious language error in it that people feel the need to correct.
