Edit, since people are now seeing this post who did not see the the reason for it:

At the time of creating and posting this, there was an account that was created using a well known username and spamming extremly transphobic hate posts. Some users were starting to interact with this very obvious troll, so I thought it might be a good idea to generally remind people how to treat these trolls. This is not about some light hearted banter or good faith jokes, this is about trolls that are truly only about spreading hate.

Hey discord, my age verification is that I remember when trolls were named after people that went trolling for fights and flame wars by leaving a trail of bait-posts.

Either way though, don't feed the trolls and stop making stupid people famous.

stop making stupid people famous.

um, i would like to apply for an exception please. some day i would like to be famous for a piece of art i make eventually and i am very, very stupid.

Ha. Fair enough but if you make art, thats not the kind of stupid I mean,

oh it's a worse stupid. there was a dude who once put a bunch of oversized beach umbrellas every 50 meters along the spanish riviera for like 20 miles (i think i'm remembering the story right) and it was gorgeous and everything and a beautiful work of art until the wind picked up and not all of the umbrellas were 100% solidly anchored because beach wind and so they started rolling down the coast and like those things are sharp and if i recall he got charged with involuntary environmental ecoterrorism and i've always kind of been inspired by that

i'm thinking something with kudzu
