I disagree. Actors openly (it's their calling or career, after all) play a role. It's also set in a controlled environment, and everyone knows that.
"Trolls" (I use troll as a synonym for bully) are different in that aspect. They employ anonymity to attack someone. They chose their role as someone's tormentor, which is very real as opposed to two actors on set, who each know what their roles are.
Actors play roles in (fictional and/or other) universes; trolls play roles in ours, which renders all their actions real, and they are aware of it.
P.S: not sure if you were being funny by posting a controversial comment :P
- stefantalpalaru 13y ago>I use troll as a synonym for bully You shouldn't. "In Internet slang, a troll (/ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a forum, chat room, or blog), either accidentally or with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_%28Internet%29 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_%28Internet%29 "Bullying is the use of force, threat, or coercion to abuse, intimidate, or aggressively impose domination over others. The behavior is often repeated and habitual. One essential prerequisite is the perception, by the bully or by others, of an imbalance of social or physical power." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullying https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullying
