Moments when you think "I really hope this is a troll..."

[Raggedstar]

Pretty much this [http://wolfhavenspiritofthepast.webs.com/]

People who claim to be breeding/selling wolves and claim their wolves:

-Are actually wolves (seriously, I see some pure Huskies and Malamutes there)
-Are more closey related to cats and lions than dogs (dog blood = aggression)
-Are perfect for children and truckers
-Need to eat rocks and dirt in their meat to survive
-Have hair attached to the nerve endings in a way that if cut it can mess up how they walk
-Are immune to fleas and ticks as well as any disease
-Have eyes like flashlights
-Are larger than 400 pounds (lemme first address that's the size of an adult African lion, and also mention that some of their animals would be lucky if they tipped 40, some looking skinny. The largest wolf on record wasn't even 200 pounds)
Among other gems located on their website.

Worst of all people support them and will blow up at the slightest bit of SENSE used to debunk their philosophies.

I REALLY REALLY wish it's just a complicated trolling scheme. If so, I would applaud them a job well done. It wouldn't bug me so much if real animals weren't involved. Animals need a restraining order against stupid people.

 

[Something Amyss]

I think this video is a bad example. It's pretty obvious the guy is joking.

OT: Pretty much any comment I receive on YouTube. For the most part they're unbelieveably stupid and I really hope they're joking.

Comments anywhere on the interweb.

Seriously, news stories, blogs. People love to just fling poo on any article, no matter how unrelated.

I know mens rights are real issues..

As is the feminist conspiracy, MI RITE

 

[Scarim Coral]

I remember someone post a thread on here about this person who post a comment on Pixar UP clip on Youtube. Anyway the person comment say that the film UP had racism undertone.
What the hell? Pixar UP is a danm good film and this person got to be a troll to spout such non sense to a good kid film.

 

[Palademon]

When you visit two university open days for games courses, and both courses are run by no standard, or have lecturers who think one year working at Havok counts as experience, who made the first year completely overlap with multimedia design, seemingly on the wrong idea that multimedia designers are the game's artists even though the people taking the multimedia courses have no interest in games.

 

[Cpu46]

As someone who enjoys watching the Atheist Experience, Philhellenes, and until recently Thunderf00t (all this DMCA stuff makes it a headache) I run across people from both sides of the argument who I am 90% sure are trolls but you can never really know.

 

[WeAreStevo]

I hate to admit it, but on about 50% of the off topic forum topics, I've had to genuinely wonder if people were simply trolling when posting extreme views about abortion, feminism, SOPA etc.

I also read the comments section on news stories which send me into a blind rage faster than anything else in this world...

My fiance even knows when I do this because she says "you're typing angry again. News comments or escapist?"

 

[kouriichi]

When im playing CoD, and someone on my team is 3/34.
>.>; Ive never had a score that bad. I rarely go negative. I couldn't go 3/34 if i had no arms. Are there people really that bad at this game? I really just hope they're trolls. ((And no, they weren't boosting. They were just that bad of players. Went back and watched the match.))

Or when im play LoL, and its like half the people i get matched with don't even own a keyboard. Then they blame someone else on the team ((usually me, even though im carrying us to victory because im a great tank, and pretty decent jungler)) and feed like there's no tomorrow.

*flailing RAAAAAGE arms* WHAT HAPPENED TO GAMING!?!? I swear there was a day when gaming used to be about being skilled, getting better everyday, reading the wiki till we knew the stats of every weapon, counting the rounds fired by our enemy to predict when they would reload.

>.>; these days, it seems like everyone just wants to spam the most powerful weapon/character the game has to offer, and ragequit the moment something goes bad. I hope players are just trolls, because if people are actually half as bad as i constantly get, i weep for gaming as a whole.

For me its people who deny the truth of Cthulhu. they are delusional and foolish Great Cthulhu will purge them from the world! Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!

 

[White-Death]

Most things from the US government, I mean..wow...
A lot of things spewed from the wretched, diseased,boil-ridden vomit encrusted mouths of PETA,most insane Christian(Or religious in general) fundamentalists,and Creationists.
Youtube commenting, lots of stuff of Facebook(Seen via Failblog, I don't dabble in social hogwash)can be included to.
I swear, I want to catapult my generation into the sun.
Twice.(Except me, because I'm handsome,talented, and the future ruler of the universe, so I can't die,and besides, the sun will singe my beautiful mop of hair.)

This. I don't know HOW this guy couldn't be trolling, but he seems completely serious

I used to get those. Haven't got one recently though.

I was gonna post the time cube, but I see I was already ninja'd, so I'll have to go with the lady who thought that My Little Pony promoted homosexuality, one sec, I have the link around here somewhere... maybe in my sock drawer?

Found it!

-edit- Holy crap, I just found out that Lauren Faust herself tore the article a new one on hte second page of comments, this just made my day!

 

[him over there]

Christian Weston Chandler. Everything he has ever done. If he is really a troll he could be the greatest method/character actor ever. But he isn't so I weep for humanity and I feel dirty that I have to be associated as the same species.

 

[Jack Rascal]

I really hope that guy who claims the world is a cube is a troll. If he isn't I really don't want on this planet any more. If he isn't a troll, he would be literally dragging down the average intelligence of the human population.

Warning extreme trolling or stupidity ahead! May reduce your sanity and/or faith in humanity.

The time cube [http://www.timecube.com/]

How on earth did you ever find that site?

If you get past the bad English, it's quite entertaining! I mean, look at what his guy writes:

Education and Religion
severely diminishes your
intelligence and mentality,
instituting ONEness Evil,
You are educated stupid -
and you have no inkling to
just how EVIL you think.

Seek in haste to attend a
lecture by Dr. Gene Ray,
Cubic and Wisest Human -
His Wisdom is Awesome.

Also:

I have so much to teach you, but
you ignore me you evil asses.

Now that's just precious!

OP: I find myself almost addicted to comments on news sites. I do dearly hope some of those comments are only trolls, but they are so damn entertaining...

I've seen a rather upsetting amount of Stan/Kyle (South Park) yaoi fanart on DeviantART.

Yeah yeah, I know; Rule 34. But... REALLY?!

I really think that he's a more-than-slightly deluded teenage boy, or something similar, who is serious with what he's trying to say.

It just happens to be awfully funny, accompanied with a theatrically slow tactical facepalm -effect.

So-o, high five? *holds up hand*

HOLY SH-! That's seriously messed up. May I say that I've never been a MLP fan but after reading that I wanted to become one just to piss her off? And this part

I showed the video to fellow Ms. intern/blogger Kyle and asked, ?What?s wrong with this picture?? he responded, ?There aren?t any black ponies. Why aren?t there any brothas on the wall?? I had originally assumed that the purple ponies were supposed to represent black ponies, but he was right?the ponies don?t seem very racially diverse.

Is the worst if you ask me. Or maybe the part that if a pony has a rainbow for hair it must be lesbian and if it's lesbian it must portray a stupid lesbian stereotype.

Well, that article reminded me of this one:
http://venturebeat.com/2011/05/25/how-many-ways-can-thqs-space-marine-game-rip-off-gears-of-war/

Yes, you read that URL correctly - how a game set in the Warhammer 40k universe rips of Gears of War. There is an update to the article that is twice as long as the article itself where the author explains how genuinely clueless he was.

Saying that the comments disagree doesn't do them justice, saying they rip the article and the author to shreds, is somewhat closer.

It's still not as bad as the MLP one - the Warhammer guy was at least clueless and was accidentally wrong (although popping to Wikipedia for 5 minutes could have really been enough research on the matter), the MLP woman did it consciously and on purpose.

 

[Hal10k]

18 posts and no mention of Sonic inflation and JRPG rabbits?

Shame on you Escapist. Shame on you.

It really matter if EternalNothingness is a troll or not. Serious or not, he's (?) still one of the greatest comedic minds of our generation.

Er, was the author that wrong though? He mentioned gameplay, use of cover, size of targeting reticules and so on, which is nothing to do with the universe the game is set in.

Some parts, yeah, flat out wrong, but taking elements from something else that has borrowed from you isn't new. The Tyranids in 40k look alot like the Zerg because the Zerg are copied off the nids. But the nids that came out after the Zerg seem to look alot more like the Zerg than the ones that were around before hand.
