No no no, it's not about one person, it's about pushing people's buttons so they all react in a way that pushes other people's buttons.
Look, you don't just troll a woman with cancer to get a reaction from her. It's all about the group of people that are going to come to their defense, they are going to be so self-righteous that another group of people will eventually just find all those people totally annoying.
You're just setting them up against each other. It's like the fusion reaction that sets off the fusion explosion.
The internet does all the work, and you just sit back with your glass of wine and laugh.
2nd other-troll : Wow.. that seems kind of... mean.
Follow up to above from this week's episode.
Trevor's axiom is a well known equation in online trolling.
It's a way in which one person can create a massive reaction on the internet.
Person A trolls person B, but it's not about person B. The troll is trying to push buttons to try to get a reaction from hundreds, eventually creating a person C. Whose's overeaction and self-righteousness will elicit a reaction from person D to F, who aren't trolls but can't help grip on person C, their reaction lead to a reaction from person G to N in generating massive energy.
It's like the fusion reaction that leads to a fusion explosion. All bringing up in the worst of humanity.
Mr Garison as Trump: Hm.. that kind of sounds how I got elected.
Precisely, Mister President.
