Huh, interesting to see a lot of people here coming out as apparently pro-troll. Or at least troll-neutral.
There are a lot of problems with certain modes of discourse in the US, but is anyone here willing to argue that trolling has possibly positive transformative benefits, similar to political satire?
If so, I'd like to see that argument made coherently, as I have yet to hear it. If not, then any "victim-blaming" really should be called out as at least a red herring.
IMHO, "political correctness" is not the problem, it is a symptom. Trolling, to me, just aggravates the actual problem: deep socioeconomic/racial/sexual inequities.
