I've noticed some confusion on this subject.

trolling: In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.

satire: In satire, vices, follies, abuses, and shortcomings are held up to ridicule, ideally with the intent of shaming individuals, and society itself, into improvement.

Thank you for your attention. If anyone would like further clarity on the subject, feel free to pose your questions in this thread.

Most of the people that think they are trolls are just lazy assholes that have no idea what the true art of trolling is about.

What is it called when you're serious but people are calling it trolling and satire?

Are they trolling or satirical?

True trolls are rare on TWW. I guess it takes a user named after a block of late night cartoons to realize that.

And so are they for not realizing that you're that fucking stupid.

Depend on who you are. The softer your opinion, the softer you get trolled. The stronger your opinion, the stronger you get trolled. Especially when you're right.
