People don’t agree on what’s dumb shit to say is the problem.

It’s more that they say it in what appears to be an intentionally inflammatory way. Like, sometimes there are really bad takes that seem trollish on their own, but when someone says it in an inflammatory way, it’s hard not to see them as a troll.

Honestly, I say shit that people disagree with and are pissed off about pretty often.

But personally, I only really run into what I’d actually consider trolls on occasion.

More often than I’d like, sure, but I guarantee you there have been people who think I’m a troll just because I have and voice a strong opinion that they disagree with in a way that they can’t comprehend or deal with.
