Is "Trolling" Just Mental Illness?

"i'm going to rape and mutilate your 5-year old daughter! just kidding trolololol" - typical troll fakkit

are people that troll regularly just exposing their deep-seated depravity & psychosis? I feel like a lot of these "trolls" (the types that send death threats, bomb threats, rape threats etc.) are really just mentally ill people hiding behind the troll tag to absolve them of their anti-social behavior.

Why draw the line at trolling though? Is it mental illness to make up an alias and take the time and effort keep the online persona going ala @Mowgli and @Nature Boy Ric Flair?

Is acting like a female online mental illness?

Acting like you have IT certs and a giant dikk mental illness?

Maybe.

But I think selfies are a bigger illness.

Mentally ill people tell society who's mentally ill so who's really mentally ill if you're considered mentally ill to mentally ill people.

I have no alias. You're clearly mentally ill, chasing phantoms

I think so. When I used to troll on other forums, I was in a bad place mentally.

Trolls are usually just a$$holes. Though, I do think some of them are mentally challenged.

Most trolls are just immature kids

It's gotten to the point where people online are dead serious about what they say and aren't hiding it but just because the other person disagrees they call it trolling. In 2016 being a troll means going against popular opinion.

Well America is already a country of individuals who think they're great and entitled.

There's no one more self absorbed than an American young adult.

And it just feels like these selfies are burrowing people deeper into their narcissism to the point it's creating a false sense of self, and the world.

When they crash back to reality, they're gonna have one hell of an existential meltdown. Possibly violently.

Just a theory.

Trolling is an art just ask @marty kaan
