MODERATORS
Crowder says stupid words specifically designed to provoke a reaction from people.
196ers react to it.
we had a phrase for how to respond to this type of person/provocation, back in the day. something about food and trolls... but it's long forgotten 😐️
I always preferred the "bait" analogy when describing these tactics.
It's the same analogy originally. The verb "troll" means "To fish for by trailing a baited line from behind a slowly moving boat".
oh shit I never realised that. I always thought it meant like the ogre kind of troll
I can assure you he has genuine fans who don't see what he does as trolling
Seriously, I grew up on sm forums where people would constantly say don't feed the trolls. Shame society at large didn't get the memo
