it's not unfair to speculate that all online trolls art sadistic psychopath
that something that we all probably already knew however now we have some
science to back it up
and some canadian researchers did a survey up a representative sample they
found out that hey you know what
it turns out that these people actually are pretty said sadistic
I now let me read you out what the study found exactly
the online survey by global canadian researchers suggest that internet trolls
are more likely than others to show signs up
sadism a psychopath be and Machiavellian -ism
a disregard for morality and tendency to manipulate or exploit others
so for those of you who are unfamiliar with on what online troll is it's
usually a person will say something so unbelievably
outlandish that of course they either don't believe it but they're doing it to
get a rise out of the person that they're targeting
and they will succeed if the person responds in some way
usually in an angry way and hence the marked wrong line is
don't feed the trolls right and now
I I guess a little surprised by that I mean you think this will be the most
unsurprising bang but I mean I always thought patrols were just plain bust
nuts
let like I i mean I don't know I'm not as bothered by the trolls you play bust
nuts right
but would you ever go out of your way to go on to any YouTube video whatever and
say something so unbelievably hideous but
we let middle course not your normal human being bright
you who lives a normal life know what I always assume that there were seven
heroes
dealing a at home blood typing up the style
and when somebody react they work they were basically batter
them a right
right I'm sure I'm sure some of them are but I think that it says something about
you
if you spend your time and think about how precious that resources right
you spend your time commenting on things just to get a rise out of someone just
make someone's day a little more difficult but you have to also remember
that a
time is not that we're still a lot of people but Becky they had all the time
in the world he said marion is why I am use themselves
but look among I'm not or doing right now overly surprised if you're spending
a lot of time doing this the same the most vicious things
there was somebody gets upset you get a thrill out of that yeah I can see how
that you might be kinda into sadism more
psychotics is a little much but keep in mind I'm really in control too much
credit
yes me at machiavellian definitely does I but let me give you a little more the
study so as you men as
Jake mention you know I the cycle path element of that exist
but satanism is definitely something that's more relevant to this topic
it with satanism however that had the most robust associations with trolling
any other personality measures in fact the association between sadism
and scores were so strong but it might be said that online trial
trolls are prototypical everyday status
day okay you love this guy you can love this story I
what couldn't very well then you're going to get some truly now
look like it I I
yeah so this is cathartic for you okay are going well are rightly
so anyway let me tell you exactly how they did the study and what kinda
questions they ask so
the question after determine sadistic tendencies included
I enjoyed physically hurting people I enjoy making jokes
at the expense of others and I enjoy playing the villain in games and
torturing other characters so can now I'm scared
km that that's that's a little oh wait not a little way over the line
okay so that's really characteristics they have who
yeah thats bothersome so looking to meet
there's a huge difference cuz I when I was a kid I was a prankster
okay men so the person sitting next to me would be so annoyed by because you
know how you always put it past them papers
you know and I get the paper and i'd put their own issues whether a book
known who okay should constantly be messy issue
despise me so is in troll 1.0 in that sense her hand the flip side is
if anybody pick on somebody who's we and made by them how you back your ugly you
this for that
I hated that yeah and I was the first person to
to step up independent parties I want to fight the game a good excuse to
right so i think is a giant difference or green being playful
and you know ribbon people and like
enjoying the pain of others yet so if so let me talk about it as someone on the
receiving end of the trolling on a constant basis on a continuous basis
I'm its I mean it if your gonna put yourself out there on the internet
it's just the name in the game you have to deal with it right you gotta have
pickers can find ways to cope with that don't read it and also
knowing that these people are doing and just because they want a rise outta view
makes you realize that whatever it is that they're saying is totally
irrelevant and usually
has no credibility but the thing about it that sucks right
is a of time to get you to comments that are great and their critical
but their constructive in their criticisms I love those comments because
those are the kind the comment that help you improve
in what you're doing and in fact that those types of comments
get totally hidden were buried under all the bullshit the people right
and and now it kinda got to a point where I don't read anything at all
because I want to deal with it
you know what I mean so yeah nah I don't have a problem with that I mean I just
dismiss it out a hand in this study will help you dismiss it even better because
then your bike Co
well they got a mental problem so that's their problem is not my problem
whatever the right Islam issue for me is an issue for that
