The author characterises these messages as either aggressive and threatening, sexist _or_ trolls. Yet all of the comments are anonymous, generic, obscene or extreme, there is no subtlety or personality to the insults, they are completely generic and transferable as far as the individual is concerned. It's hard to see them as anything _other_ than trolls. If they are all trolls, isn't this analysis really just about which profile pictures trolls find the easiest to find politically incorrect, offensive or sexist thing to say about? and isn't that just a reflection of what society finds the most offensive rather than what a bunch of trolls sincerely think? [edit] I'm downvoted because I think they are trolls, really? how lame... Try to come up with an argument group thinkers, or must we all cry in defence of anything even vaguely resembling sexism without thinking.
