when you guys first came out, I was so excited by the potential and direction vice seemed to be headed for. now, it's a shame. you guys have let obvious biases get in the way of objective reporting and seem to be quickly losing sight of the type of content that made you so popular in the first place.
Well, While I kind of agree with this, the issue is not that trolls are immature or childish, they have pshycological issues that make them see the world in weird ways and to find satisfaction in hurting other people. They are just mentally disturbed people who really needs to be treated.
Naw, this shit is too funny (in his own mind) for a sociopathology. Dimothy Dalton fan page? This shit is fairly priceless. Having old Bond Villain's get in touch? He's just a rebel with nowhere else to put it.
I doubt this guy's girl left him because it was just too much about trolling for him. Like the trolling took a back seat to their relationship? Seems like a shit relationship to begin with. Also, "girlfriend" can be a pretty lose term, & can easily be replaced with "girl I was fucking for two months last summer." It is pathetic, but it's still funny. Much funnier than psycho, or socio, or autism. I've been around REAL sociopathology, & that shit is straight the opposite of funny!
Why does there have to be something psychologically wrong with this guy? Can't he just be an ol' fashioned type of weirdo? Frankly, what he's doing is creative as fuck & it would be hilarious to be on the giving end. Seems more for comedy than anything.
Generally, satire is topical. Telling a fucking Timothy Dalton fan you are Timothy Dalton for no reason and continuing a correspondence with them which doesn't even end in a reveal of the facts, that is not satire. It's just weird. The purpose of satire is to expose/ridicule stupidity using humor, especially within the context of a play, novel or film.
+mindo61600 I agree, at least his ideas were actually creative. It's called a puff piece, which has been a part of journalism forever. Seems like a lot of Vice subscribers take themselves way too fuckin seriously. Or they're just jealous that this guy is way better at trolling they are.
That's the beauty of trolls. We are completely sarcastic, misleading, annoying, believable, assholes, via the web and social media. But in person you would of never guessed of our "alternative" life on the web. In person, we are completely different people. I am nice, friendly, and helpful. On the web though, I have a dark side....lol. 😆😜😘
+DyslexiaSkucs I don't have websites and the only social account I have is IG. He has a troll FB page, troll IG, troll websites, and probably personal ones on top of those...
I think he's a decent looking, white man who has at least average income job. In other words, he's just one of those people you pass by and maybe you might think he's attractive or something because he's full of confidence and he has that sarcastic sense of humor. I think he does have life but he's just bored with it. he's an idiot for talking to his gf about his trolling though. that's just stupid.
+RICO GARCIA Those weren't Vice News stories. You're equating Vice News with Broadly and Viceland. So you're saying that because Vice produces so much diverse content that they they split up their work into a dozen different channels, it means they're PC mainstream bs? nice argument, bro! /s
+SmokeumPeacepipe no I'm 23 and still am into Trolling people via the web. I'm also very sarcastic in person, and commonly called an asshole...it's pretty funny.
this guy is straight up hilarious to me. he takes the average irritations of an arrogant/offended social media user and actually makes the effort to act on those feelings in a pretty harmless way. i think there's a real honesty in this series, thanks vice xx
The “You have no life” insult was always a vapid insult response. After watching this video, he makes the “You have no life” insult really come to life for me. 🤗
Awhh. This is a man that is very hurt inside. He needs help and a lot of people here aren't doing any good. I came into the video with a comedic bias, but now I truly feel bad for him. If you are reading this. Please know that you are the most important person in your life. You at in control. Love your self man
Internet trolling can be a totally innocent way to have fun as long as you're not hurting anyone. I once found a teenager on the internet who said that they were a shapeshifter, so I spent the next 3 days messaging them with the worst grammar possible trying to play along. They fell for it. It was awesome.
Posting pictures of dead animals isn't trolling. Trolling is slyly baiting someone into a reaction or argument without them realising you're a troll. It's an art form, you don't just post provocative pictures. What this guy's doing is closer to flaming than anything.
Trolling is when you purposely say outrageous or dumb things in order to get a reaction. Its basically a game of how many people can you piss off lol its really fun
how to make a grilled cheese - ingredients: bread , butter , cheesey nuts , vagina for flavor Preheat skillet over medium heat. Generously butter one side of a slice of bread. Place bread butter-side-down onto skillet bottom and add 1 slice of cheese. Butter a second slice of bread on one side and place butter-side-up on top of sandwich. Grill until lightly browned and flip over; continue grilling until cheese is melted. Repeat with remaining 2 slices of bread, butter and slice of cheese.
The best part is that there are more thumbs down than thumbs up. I love that and I'm not even a troll. It reminds me of the buffalo jump. This guy gets a thumbs up from me.
haha I used to troll instagram because I've always found it very pretentious and fake. looking back at it I was kinda a loser that had nothing to do, but it was still funny af
Imagine thinking this is trolling, this is just pretending to be someone else because your life is boring AF. Trolling is baiting people into a reaction, or to get them mad, this ain’t it.
Trolls are just a reminder that we shouldn't be displaying our personal life all over social media and believing everything we hear and read on the internet. It's naive to expect that everyone online should act "nicely" toward one another. Grow up, be aware, and interact cautiously.
He seems to be more of a provocateur rather than a Troll. He posts stuff and waits for people to come to him and give their 2 cents. On the other hand, Trolls lurk in comment sections and replies to people out of the blue and aggressively attack their beliefs or are racists/sexist a$$holes.
bloody hell why is the vice community so negative? is this as good as their news stories and documentaries, hell no but it entertained me while I ate cereal and sometimes that all something really needs to do
+collin taylor They have documentaries about african warlords and a cannibal who literally got away with murder...this is interviewing a fucking "internet troll". There's like, no substance, maybe it's different for you, but it certainly doesn't "entertain" me like the not shitty stuff on their channel does. That's a pretty marked drop in quality.
+Anthony Sun Have you ever read a newspaper or watched a news channel? Not every story has to right some wrong, or expose some conspiracy. It's called a "puff piece" and they've been a part of journalism forever for good reason. They're generally easily enjoyable if you don't take yourself so god damn seriously.
Trolling is cool. I love mocking everyone and everything on the internet. I is purely my way of entertaining myself. I have a fake Facebook account, RUclips account ( not this one). and Instagram account. All for my entertainment.
Never implied that. I will be kind and spell it out for you very clearly, Trolls tend to be lonely people with a lack of connection to the outside world. . *****
I've been on the internet since the 90's and have done my fair share of trolling, but this video is stupid and people who think of trolling as some kind of lifestyle tend to be embittered shut-ins. I'm pretty much trolling right now... but also serious.
This guy seems more like an internet performance artist than a troll. Some of this is kind'a funny. I think of trolls as people that post hateful and racist comments to get a reaction out of people.
I love this video. I remember when me and my friend ran a thread on 4chan where we'd post victims of domestic abuse, mostly women since we loved to make people think that whining about something on the internet will change anything. It just proves that none of your opinions matter on the internet, and if you express an opinion, prepare to have it picked apart, ridiculed, and made a joke.
I find it funny that his act of rebellion requires a mask, although completely anonymous and essentially ( as far as we understand ) harmless. A cyberpunk that exists against his own better judgement.
I really don't see how what he does is immoral. He doesn't have a negative effect on society. He doesn't harm anyone. He does things that are entertaining to him and at the very worst, he brings a moment of upset to a few random people who choose to involve themselves in what he posts.
I always like to think of a quote from batman, when i'm dealing with trolls and have troubles what motivates them: "Some people just want to see the world burn!" Those are very disturbed people. There's no point in trying to understand them or in thinking that you're going to influence them in anyway. The best you can do is turn the conversation into something that other people can learn or benefit from despite the troll in the conversation. These people are making the world a worse place. Nothing matters to them.
