When I was in college eons ago I used an IRC channel that was taken over by trolls. Taken over might be an exaggeration... they showed up, took channel ops, and never left. The original regulars just kept chatting as usual.
Anyway, the thing I find most bizarre is that the trolls who took over my IRC channel only talked about weird anti-semitic conspiracy theories. The stuff they discussed was exactly the same as what the "Weev" character from this article talks about on his livejournal page. I also had never looked at encyclopedia dramatica before... i guess internet troll culture is heavily intertwined with the white supremacy movement? Or is all the jewish conspiracy stuff part of the joke?
- unalone 18y agoIt's part of the joke. Several friends of mine are active trolls, and in person they're pretty well-balanced. Their saying things like that is entirely because they know it'll offend people.
