Internet Trolls Are Narcissists, Psychopaths, and Sadists

[millionsofdeadcats]

trolling the internet is my 4th favorite activity

Splew, you troll life

[John Smith]

I do enjoy the suffering of others, but not always, there has to be something funny about the situation. I have everything wrong with me.

There's no such thing as a narcissist, psychopath or sadist in the scientific, traditional sense implied here. These are buzz words used by normal faggots and psychologists in attempt to label anyone different. Sure, I may classify myself as a "narcissist", but it's of my own doing -- a way to reinforce that I should always put myself first. These Canadian faggots who made this test have used these labels to negatively distance people with different ideas.

Do I troll to be sadistic? Yes, I like to think that I'm hurting people when I PM them photos of miscarried, choked babies. Am I "sadistic" in thei article's sense? Fuck no!

I hate that article and I hate all forms of psychology. Peace out.

People like schplew, myself, nero, and your typical "troll" are the only genuine posters. The actual trolls, if we're going by the definition of people who put on acts and masks to instigate, are the ones who pretend to like each other and post friendly. These are the people doing damage. These are the people who, fortunately, are living with the most pain. Your baby is fucking dead.

The actual study if anyone cares to read it:

I have my doubts about how interesting these findings actually are. Yes people who self identified as trolls also self reported as being machiavellian sadists. The terms are basically synonymous. I don't see why we should take people at their word on being trolls however. I'm willing to bet the majority of people who we call trolls would not have answered "my favorite thing to do on the internet is trolling". There's also the fact that only like 5% people actually described themselves as trolls, so while the total sample size is reasonable the correlation value is drawn from a sample of like 20.

My favorite thing on the Internet is trolling.  Winners club. 

IMO, everyone that frequents forums has a bit of a narcissistic side to them and most people are fucked in the head to some extent, regardless.

I don't see anything wrong with having self esteem, being a sociopath and being a little bit twisted.
