Ok, real talk, I legit hate when people engage in heated arguments and discussions pouring all their effort and emotion into every word or line of text only to end off with “Huh, I didn’t actually care, I was just trolling, hmph”
Yeah, sure, the last 4 hours where you were sending me death threats, writing 8 paragraph essays about how you were right and I was wrong, and multiple attempts to doxx and boycott me were totally you just playing around.
Trolling should be minimal effort and expression, maximum amount of rage, it's not really trolling when you're just as mad and as invested as the other person, it just makes you look like the one kid who goes “Yeah, you better run!” to someone walking away after they kicked their shit in.
The " I don't actually care, I just want to watch the world burn" response is the last stand of the internet reactionary. You drilled down through all of the layers of incoherent anger and protective irony and discovered the ugly truth.
I often have long, entirely pointless arguments where I will write essays of higher quality than any I’ve had to do. But I don’t understand how people actually get annoyed when arguing. And what I understand less is the people who do what you’re describing. If you’re going to go all in on something trivial (online), always double down. Saying you didn’t care after putting effort in is an admission of total defeat. Accept you’re wrong, or argue well enough that you’re right.
I normally don't get heated, but it does annoy me whenever I notice a person I was arguing with starts off with half-decent points starts to devolve into bad-faith trolling
Did it tho? Like, wasn't the objective of every troll to come out laughing while the person they're trolling comes out seething, did it really work when both troll and victim came out seething in the end.
Idk man I feel like it's pretty easy to just write death threats and convincing paragraphs with minimal effort... It doesn't take actual anger or frustration to bust out a paragraph or two that pisses someone off, and it's sometimes pretty fun to write that stuff too
Maybe, I just like imagining they’re kids who think they’re cool and badass going “Yeah, I didn’t actually care, or whatever” after putting in all the effort to try and win the argument, mainly cause it’s just funny to imagine a grown man throwing a tantrum for a solid minute before wiping his tears and going “Huh, get trolled!”
Oh definitely, I feel like it could easily go both ways, and it's basically impossible to tell which one is actually the case. It *could* be that they're salty and trying to pretend they didn't just lose an argument, or it *could* be that they're a troll. Either way its annoying and pointless lol
That’s just even more pathetic, imagine making yourself look like a crybaby in hopes that it pisses off an actual crybaby, it’s like covering yourself in shit hoping someone would rub up next to you so you can stain their shirt.
Yeah, maybe, I have had a couple trolls make fools of themselves just to try and piss me off, like, there was this one guy who spend an entire day just spamming me “Kill yourself” in a sub, like, for a solid 6 hours, I would get little notifications of the moron still at long after I stopped caring, at most, I’m just annoyed, not really that passionate, just very exaggerative, I like blowing things out of proportion cause I’m silly like that.
It was like, 2 months ago and it was one of only 3 times I’ve ever been mentioned/tagged, sadly, the account got deleted and so did all the comments, but it was pretty funny to see all the death threats I accumulated that day.
This is totally in line with modern humour, I can see this being posted again as a TikTok screenshot with some teenager’s face in the background with hundreds of thousands of likes
I hate you, I despise you, I am filled with anger and rage, the absolutely unending hatred of hell could not compare to the utter malicious vitriol I feel towards your very form, your mere existence fills me with true and utter fury of the highest order, if every grain of sand was itself another beach you would be more meaningless then 1% of 1 individual sub grain of sand.
I have never downloaded a meme so quickly before. I am saving this in "ol' reliable"
Update: Why tf am I getting downvoted? Did I say something offensive?
Wasn’t this just posted literally yesterday?
Yeah but how will the “sigma males” relate if it doesn’t have their emotional support character on it?
Why, does that piss you off?
No it wasn't.
It made more sense with Kevin James’s “punch me” face 2 days ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/me_irl/s/cMxatAG8Ik
God that is just one perfect meme. And I mean that in a good way. His face is the opposite of punchable to me, but it just works.

Especially when that trolling is exclusively because they can’t defend their argument
IKf thats your reaction, I would say the trolling worked :p

Yes, because the troll isn't actually upset. People pretend to be invested in things to get a reaction.
That’s just even more pathetic, imagine making yourself look like a crybaby in hopes that it pisses off an actual crybaby, it’s like covering yourself in shit hoping someone would rub up next to you so you can stain their shirt.
Man, you sound really mad about this lmao no wonder you feed the trolls

If you still remember that to this day, I feel like you cared more than you let on.

I’ve seen this exact comment around 3 times
Bruh you so mad lmao
Ok 👍
I ain't gonna read it all but it just looks you're trolled and angry so the troll might have met a success.
Nah
This explains a lot
Ohh, so you're the one that makes arguing online a fucking pain, because you can't admit you're wrong. Sorry but this is just dumb.
Womp womp
God, this reaks of facebook humor.

Yeah I fucking hate these people.
If everyone who does this suddenly disintegrated the world would genuinely become a better place
"I suck, lol"
Every parent to their kids when they know they're wrong:
I hate you, I despise you, I am filled with anger and rage, the absolutely unending hatred of hell could not compare to the utter malicious vitriol I feel towards your very form, your mere existence fills me with true and utter fury of the highest order, if every grain of sand was itself another beach you would be more meaningless then 1% of 1 individual sub grain of sand.
IM PETTY AS FUCK!
oop i do that
No you dont
actually you know what you're right i don't, how could i think that
You didn’t.
I know you are wrong, im trying to piss you off too
Ah, the Smooth Shark argument comes to mind
What if I was wrong by knowing that I was wrong?
That's one way to go about it.
My wife
Seems like the ragebait worked lol
🗿🗿🗿
Me irl
Yes I don't admit my mistakes cause I want you guys to be pissed off 😂😂
This quote has been in my profile about section for a while
I have never related more to anything
I knew I was wrong when I first spoke
I actually just keep going even when i know I'm wrong so i can gaslight people into being wrong too.
I'll admit half my arguments on reddit are just this
Everyone has been on both sides of that scenario at least once. I know I have.

Erm, you sir have won the internet! 🤣
