Is it wrong to find it funny people still fall for fake (troll) stories?

[Anonymous]

I posted this fake story way back in Dec 6, 2017 and people fell for it. It took about 10+ pages for people to realize I was trolling them the whole time. LOL.

I was a different type of troll. I wasn't the hateful troll that writes hateful speech nor likes arguing. I would just sign up under a new username and become a different identity, become the person in the story. Not to sound harsh but I found it funny how people fell for that long, fake story and it took them too long for them to figure out they've been trolled.

I've also made up stories and pretended to be a man. I tried to make it realistic as possible to... to sound like a guy with sexual frustration issues or whatever issues men generally have.

So you wrote a lengthy, detailed fake life story and expected people to know you’re trolling? There was nothing troll about what you wrote, you created a person and an intricate story, going back and forth with people, updating it, like you were committed. If you want to create stories and shit that’s fine but there’s no need to call people suckers for trying to be helpful.

Actually there have been other fake stores that went undetected and people never found out it was a troll. I just ended by thanking every posters. I expected anything, to either be called a troll after a couple posts, people finding out it's a fake story after many pages or getting away with it and me ending it with by thanking everyone and moving on to my next story at another day.

Not trying to shame you but that’s strange behavior, almost like an identity crisis. You should see someone about that.

by the way, that isn’t creative writing. It’s wasting people’s time who are trying to offer advice and be helpful.

Psychotic. I get like a little short thing but a whole detailed story? If I knew someone who did that, I wouldn't trust them for shit.

[Asker]

Really? I'm different in person (aka in real life) vs online trolling.

But you’re posting about it laughing about how people believed it. You seem to get off on it and thats whats concerning.

feel free to DM with your new identities and stories... I like those from time to time, lol

[Asker]

Cool. Ok I will in a moment

[Asker]

If you can, feel free to read that story and tell me what you think.

[NathanDavis]

alright

This is another one dated 2013. I got away with it and on one ever found out it was a fake story:

I pretended to be a young 19 year-old guy in that story.

It’s not wrong.


Just pretty pointless.

I've been doing this since I was 17 and now I'm 35 and still do it from time to time. I can't do it often anymore because it's getting harder to create new usernames and signing up on the site without getting detected easily.

[NotTacocaT6969]

I only did it about 4 times before I got bored.

I guess it’s not for everyone.

Seems like a huge waste of time honestly.

[Asker]

I thought it was creative writing.

Such a boring life you must have. 😆

[Asker]

Nope. I'm actually in a healthy relationship by now and practice Judo. I just can't help it sometimes. Whenever a new idea or story comes up, I'll write about it. In a way, if it took over 100 post for those people to finally figure out they've been trolled then isn't the poster (ME) a creative writer after all?
