When trolling reaches new lows...

[Malty Milk Whistle]

People are cunts who want attention.
In terms of Edd, he made some great stuff and got popular. Of course people "break the norm" to be edgy. Still, it is certainly a shame about Edd. I was watching his stuff since I was like, 12.

Same...one of my mates who also watches/watched his stuff also has leukemia and she aint exactly in a good way... But this isn't even trolling, this is just a bunch of 12 year olds trying to be "ub3r l33t" and "'Ard"

And it makes me want to grab a hammer, shout FUR TEH EMPRAH and hit something. Righteous rage man away!

Welcome to the internet where people act like asshats because they know that there will be no repercussions.

Back in my day, if you acted like a jerk you ran the risk of getting beaten up because the person you were being a jerk to was probably within earshot.

Yeah I think shit like that is unacceptable. Regular trolling is inevitable but something like this is disgusting and websites should at least try to ban people who do this. As impossible as it sounds I think the internet would be a much better place if at least most if not all of the people who are this inconsiderate and douchey were gone.

LIFE would be better if these sort of people were gone.

What was that line from "Scrubs" again? "People are bastard coated bastards with bastard filling!" Hm...something like that, you get the idea. People are twats and the only thing that's more annoying than a twat is an anonymous twat, because then the fact that they are all cowards irl doesn't matter.

 

[Wintermoot]

it,s part of the internet if you don't want to get trolled don't use the internet.
PS
or go to a site that has strong anti-trolling rules and mods that enforce them

and how screwed up is that. "its part of the internet if you dont want to get trolled dont use the internet" i do have to ask. why? why should people have to put up with it? people get mugged and harrassed on the street but i dont see anyone claiming its a part of walking down the street.

sooner this vile crap is stamped out the better. people dont deserve the right to be anonymous on the net.

you can just make sure you don,t get mugged in the first place and this applicable to the internet first of don,t fall for the trolling in the first place second the ignore button if trolls don,t get the attention they want they stop or move to a new target.

So long as you're out of punching distance you can say what you like. That's the best thing about the internet and also the most frustrating thing. People are entitled to their opinions or trolling comments, the fact that a remark meant to be hurtful made you feel this angry is only testimony to how successful said person trolling was.

Unfortunately, you just have to learn to roll with the punches and smile at the fools - in 'real life' and especially on the internet.

I have to wonder what parts of the internet you regularly inhabit for trolling to be colored as "generally harmless if not annoying as hell" as opposed to "just offensive, dickish behavior and I personally think people who do this shit should be banned from whatever websites they're doing it on." When you have something open to the public, there will always be dicks. Combine that with anonymity, freedom from immediate repercussion, easy access, and less stringently enforced social graces, and that number will be upped to the nth degree. The only advice I can give you is to treat it like white noise and to avoid baiting them.

Also, after wading through those youtube comments you mentioned, I can say that I find them marginally more distasteful than the crop of "tribute" videos springing up in the animator's wake made by people not even remotely connected to him in what I can only describe as a shameless grab for sympathy internet-points. Nothing quite like capitalizing off of a man's death for a free ego boosts, is there? (See the Steve Jobs tributes and 60% of DeviantArt journal entries)

Captcha: "face the music". Oddly fitting.

No reason to post that pic, I just thought it was funny.

OT: I assume you're talking about Youtube comments. Well, those comments are often like this.
It's best just to ignore them.

And on the subject of trolling . . .

Guess who just got banned recently

it says hes online right now. but if he is banned, i will throw a party that includes swimming in copies of mass effect 1, 2, and 3, and people that look like the characters. i call garrus!

Sincerity about death is like a red flag for some people.

He is.

Click on any of his posts in his post history, and have a look at the nice big BANNED under his name.

for informing me, you sir win many virgins.

If there is one certainty I have learned in my life (other than there are no certainties), it is that human cruelty and stupidity has no rock bottom.

No place is a better example of that than the youtube comment section.

Y'know, I'm actually gonna miss him. I mean as annoying as he could be at times I found his delusions of grandeur to be hilarious.

Oh well, guess I'll just wait for news of him shooting up a school or something. The dude is either really good at staying in character or he's totally unhinged.

Well this is excellent news, I was getting tired of his bitching.

That said, there is one other this site would be better off without...

OT: Yeah, some people are fairly sick minded. Unfortunately there's not much to be done about it. Reacting badly just gives the no life douche bags the attention they're starving for.

Who would that be?

EternalNothingness?

I haven't seen many of his posts but I see the name dropped a lot.

 

[Guffe]

It's sad that people use anonymity to do stupid shit like that because they can.
No wait, I said something wrong, it's not sad, THEY are sad!

 

[viranimus]

Ok I mean no disrespect, but Edd who?

I get that he is an animator on websites like youtube and newgrounds, but really who isnt?

Also I think it may be in poor taste to make fun of the recently deceased, but I cant say as I dont understand more people getting bet out of shape at his passing cause really, next to no one knew he existed.

Really I dont see how anyone can get bothered by this. The world is filled to the brim with shitty people. You really cannot expect any other response than this. Hell I am sure if you go far back enough on usenet forums and the like youll prolly find someone making fun of Mother Teressa's death too. Why is anyone even remotely surprised at this?

Have your own sorrow, mourn your loss. Ignore others who are going to be dicks about it because they have no reverence for someone they didnt know and really in all likelihood they are just trying to get a rise out of you anyway. Just dont give them the satisfaction. I mean inst that how trolls work?
