Trolls are a crucial part of the Internet Humor ecosystem. And as I Wikipedia-ed the term troll, for my extensive and totally legitimate research on internet humor, it gave me vital information of the origin of the word as well as how to apply the word in everyday talk. From the logistics of the Wikipedia page for the word Troll, I can only assume this page was written for parents (and maybe grandparents) of a teenager who wants to know more of his/her children's current internet language and maybe why his/her child is being bullied online.
The page itself gave essential information on the relationship between trolls and the identity and anonymity behind the troll phenomenon. But then it seemed as if the Wikipedia page, had a biased against trolls. I mean, I agree that trolls are, on the hole, bad. Most of the page centered around the evils of trolling, the extreme circumstance that trolling can involve. And gave a small snippet of an article that celebrated trolls for the humorous efforts online.
It divulged deeply into the “concerns of trolling” and the psychological “dark traits” trolls carry with them; along with retelling of media coverage and controversy trolls have negatively affected online and offline communities. It ceased to mention at the most common level of what trolls actively do on a regular basis. The Troll Wikipedia page is all for revealing the extremes of what trolls can do, but not the regularity of what trolls truly do.
The Talk tab, currently, is empty. No comments have been left by the editors. I kind of want to troll the Talk tab of the Wikipedia page Trolls. How ironic and informative would that be?
