How many female trolls are here in GAG?

[Anonymous]

I know that guys are lot more open to trolling on the internet than girls but so far, I've been observing female trolls lately on GAG and surprisingly, it's more than I think.

I just read a MyTake about how not all men don't think about sex and a lot of female trolls have the nerve to have some confirmation bias towards men and hear what they only want to believe. It pisses me off.

A lot

Not so common

Don't know

[DonkeyKong1979]

Trolls rarely create accounts that accurately reflect their age, sex and location. Just because a pink or a blue head appears next to the post, don't taker that as any indication as to who is in front of the keyboard / touchscreen at the other end.

Contrary to what some might believe though, there are lots of women out there who troll, one of the most notorious trolls in the UK was tracked down recently and turned out to be a very prim, polite 60 year old woman, it seems there is no real pattern to who might be trolls in terms of age, sex or socio economic background, they really can be anyone. And none of them can offer any real explanation as to why they do it beyond 'I was bored'.

Nah i only know of that one black bitch hating on the other female races especially white chicks. www.nairaland.com/.../938134_000946-fat-overweight-black-woman-with-huge-red-hair-eating-kfc-chicken_jpge2f61925e30a2ae1e1e87898ed156b74 This is how she looks like but she goes anon and pretends to be very attractive and claims to shoot down white guys daily because apparently they always hit on her. She also hates statistics that show facts and lives in her own reality. Shell also assume your Caucasian if you challenge her.

It seems your definition of troll may need some explanation. People use the word troll to describe others who just don't agree with them nowadays. It's a pathetic way to discredit someone's view and usually used by people who just do not have the intelligence to discredit the argument in any other way.

[Asker]

A troll could mean a lot of different things in similar ways you know.

[Asker]

There are trolls who like to pretend they believe what the say for the shits and giggles and then there are the other trolls who do genuinely believe what they say but make no fucking logical sense with their rants and points and believe what they only want to hear.

[RationalLioness]

Exactly @GirlScoutsRevenge

[GirlScoutsRevenge]

That last example is not trolling. This is why I asked for an explanation.

[musicbrain5]

All the trolls are usually anonymous so I couldn't tell you who they are anyways. There's no way to tell their actual gender anyways since it could be a man posing as a woman or vice versa. Gender and age are self reported here when you sign up so they could just make it all up.

[RationalLioness]

I don't think they're common though I'm sure they exist. I hope you're not assuming that "Trolling" means "people who don't agree with my opinion".

There are A LOT of irrational opinions and they don't have to agree with yours, but that doesn't mean that they're trolling.

[Asker]

Here's a defition of what trolling is, copied right out of an online dictionary:

Troll (verb definition) -
make a deliberately offensive or provocative online posting with the aim of upsetting someone or eliciting an angry response from them.

[Asker]

*definition

[RationalLioness]

Again, how do you know that they're DELIBERATELY doing that? That could be someone's opinion. If a woman said--while answering a question pertaining to a situation that would befit her answer--that she doesn't trust ANY man and she thinks they're all liars, how is that Trolling when she's being honest about her feelings?

There's a difference.

[Asker]

So you mean to tell me that "I believe all men think of sex based" even if that woman (in her 30s) is old enough to know that generalizations are irrational and only had ONE bad experience with a man, isn't trolling?

[Asker]

"All men *only* think of sex"...

[Asker]

So if I said (out of irrationality) all women are nothing but lying, manipulative, misandric cunts, would you be singing a different tune on the definition of a troll or would you still believe I'm just giving out an honest opinion based on my feelings?

[RationalLioness]

Omg. THINK.

If someone puts out their OPINION and it isn't to purposely entice people, that's not Trolling. Look at the definition. The definition is speaking of someone that is saying offensive things on PURPOSE to anger people.

Someone putting forth their opinion--even though it's irrational--is NOT Trolling.

If you said that, I'd consider you stupid but not Trolling. Common sense.

I like reading what the trolls have to say. Some of them are funny like that user who created three accounts which consist of a daughter, father, and uncle and using a dead girl's picture for a user profile.

[Illusive_Man]

Trolls. Novice who turned to the darkside trolls.
Professionals take and piss and rip the mickey out of someone who deserves it.

[Applefan1]

I voted A because there are lots of male and female trolls on GAG. Can't put it down to one gender like that.

[Anonymous]

Oh trust me they're males in disguise.

I mean we troll or joke around too. Leave a funny meme every now and again but I wouldn't call myself or most of the girls on here trolls.

[emilyyy23k]

oh I do at times lol but I don't take it to the extreme

[desidoll]

Mostly they are males with fake accounts. I can tell from their wordings.

[Genie23]

I joke. Post memes. Not anonymously though! Does that count? ;P

[hypno-trip]

I've seen someone I think is a female troll @GodisLove

[Genie23]

@godisloveee* her account got freezed though

[Genie23]

@godislovee

[XNicholeMariex3]

... I have had my moments of trolling. :p

[CasaNorba]

There are many of them here. Its just that they tend to be sneakier about it.

[CasaNorba]

Bro you mind linking me that Mytake? Sounds like something worth reading

[I_am_repulsive]

There are some that do trolls, but they usually do it as anon.

[PromiseIllBeNice]

your right they do.

[Anonymous]

Don't know, I think I've seen more female then male trollers though

[Damiandash312]

You know, there's no way to prove a trolls gender.

[Asker]

True, a GAG troll usually always go anonymous, plus they can possibly be males creating a female account or females creating a male account.

[Ulyss]

They suck at trolling anyways xD

[Asker]

Pretty much. A lot of their trolling makes no logical fucking sense.

[Cj4TheWin]

Most of them are guys lol.

[justbanANNAz]

i have my occasional trolling moment =]

[JackKerouac77]

Females trolls are hawt

[emerald77]

I don't usually see many female trolls.

[douride2]

Ha! I would make a lousy troll. lol hahaha

[MrExplorer]

How would we be able to tell?

[vekin]

Explain me what is trolling?
