   Richard Bacon, a children's TV presenter who was fired after being caught snorting coke by the tabloids and is now relegated to radio, has been getting trolled over the past few years. He decided to make a documentary about it in which trolls are depicted as potential murderers and trolling is claimed to have only started happening since FB and Twitter came along. He also tries to do some trolling himself. [SPOILER]He's shit at trolling[/SPOILER]

   Bacon meets Facebook tribute page trolls IRL and consults an "expert" on internet culture who embarrassingly tries to explain various internet phenomena that she seems to know little about. She's about as much of an "expert" as anyone who has spent 5 minutes on /b/ or ED.

   He also talks to girls who are "fat-tastic" and should fuck themselves because no-one else will, as well as a gay NGA who should "go die".

   I particularly liked how it kind of implied that the underdeveloped 15-year-old boy killed himself because he was trolled on Facebook, and ignores the fact that this trolling seems only to have been an extension of actual bullying at his school.

   According to Wikipedia internet trolling has been around since the late 1980s. Trolling is nothing new. Richard Bacon is a moron.

   Just wasted 1 hour watching that, well, I was EV training my Larvitar so it wasn't really that bad, but still. Well, maybe I didn't really waste it so much, because in short, I watched it because I wanted to stroke my ego. In fact, I'm now posting about it because I wanted to stroke my ego a little more and feel as if I know something about all this type of stuff.

   People 'troll' because it gives them a sense of achievement and bigs up their ego. But that's really the same reason why they make jokes, why they debate endlessly about topics they have very little understanding off, and why they in fact do a lot of the things they do in general.

   Just that, it's much easier to be a cunt anonymously on the internet without fearing any real long term repercussions then actually doing something worthwhile.

   Jokes take some skill, debates take some energy and at least a little understanding of the topic and so on.. but trolling is all about simply taking advantage of the perceived ignorance of the other party and then laughing at that ignorance and your perceived sense of being 'in the know'.

   Saying things that lead to 'responses' by those 'not in the know', when you (or maybe the community, group (e.g. a joke that only regulars would get) etc) 'know' that you were only 'being retarded'.

   It's like looking at poor people from your pent house suite sipping some expensive drink. You aren't in the grand scheme of things, necessarily that much happier, healthier whatever, but looking down on the poor people (the different people, unconsciously or consciously) gives you that small sense of superiority - and that can be addictive for some.

   You can trust everything I said here, because I have a PhD in blada blada blah.

   -- Around 1.5 hours wasted. Hurrah.

   edit. And of course, all this is more unconscious then anything.
   edit2. Or rather, it can be done at different levels of consciousiiethfjhty, like everything 'social' in humans.

    Not a troll witch
    

    This video makes me want to troll Richard Bacon esp since it was a fucking hour long.
    I just skipped around to see enough to an idea as to what it was about.
    Really he could have cut it down to ten minutes fucking long winded bastard.

    
    Fucking tard is probably advocating we all be forced to provide our real credentials on the internet which is something every dictator and despot would love.
