People who say trolling is different then bulling don't know how bad some people who claim they are just 'trolls' can be. There is a very very very fine line. Those who say "its different'.. have never been on the other side. Maybe to the troll its harmless but to the victim it might be the 'LAST STRAW', as harmless as it might seem. Thank you for making this.

That's rough. It's been a few years but I have, too. I actually met one of my closest friends because I stumbled across someone bullying them (a random person at the time) here on dA. I stood up for them and now we're friends on Facebook and everything lol She's a real sweetheart. I'd do it all again.

was looking for a stamp like that as a kid at 6 years old Ive been bullied for all sorts of things. mostly because of my disability Ive gotten panic attacks due to the constant herassment ive gotten from trolls & my health can't take that anymore after ending up in the Hospital fro stress from the harassment aswell as other matters. it seem like they left me alone..

There is a very thin line between the two.
To be a troll: "Loooool imma wolf I was abandoned by my parents and they raised me AWOOOO"
That's just silly.
To troll somebody: Choosing a person and zeroing in on them and saying things like "You whore" "omg go kill yourself" or "bawww no one cares about your problems".
Whether you know this person or not, it is cruel. If you said this to someone's face it would be bullying without question. I have seen it affect people's real lives. It is not ok.

No, that would be cyberbulling. Trolling is just messing with people online who are too serious.

Still a fine line, trolling can become cyber bullying, they are related.

Trolling is just messing with someone. There might be a line, but it is far from fine. Cyber bullying is insulting someone with malicious intent.

Trolling can have malicious intent too, sadism doesn't discriminate unfortunately.

But not all trolls are bad. It just depends on what you say and how you say it.

I agree, some trolls are just innocent jokesters, but some are cruel sadists, please realize that. Trust me, I'm 21 and have been bullied to the point of attempting suicide. THERE IS A FINE LINE.

Its good that you are retired then. I wasn't trying to argue, I was trying to simply inform you that actions have consequences and that these actions reflect back on the person performing them.

Unless said person doesn't care. Then it doesn't matter. Besides, I'm only retired for now because I was busy with school.

Not really, I don't think you'd feel that way if you were the victim. They can turn into one another. Its a sad fact. If you want to be a jokester, fine, just make sure your audience doesn't get upset, don't step over the line and become an asshole.

I have been the victim of that before. Didn't care then, still don't. And I can do what I damn well please. I don't care if people get upset about what I say. That's their problem. They can deal with it or not. Their choice. X3

No, it really isn't their problem, you are responsible for your own actions, you are accountable, it would be wise stop blaming the victims, and reevaluate how you treat people. Its okay to joke, just as long as they know you are joking. if they don't it becomes abuse.

280077s In reply to balirinakitty [2014-05-29 01:46:33 +0000 UTC]
You should care about how you treat strangers, mess with the wrong people and they could mess up your life. In trolling, there are always victims, you yourself said you were one, if I'm not mistaken. you said the people being trolled are responsible for how they take it, thats blaming them, you are shifting responsibility on them, when it belongs on you.
"All i do is mess with people who take things too seriously. " Do the people you troll know that? if not, you are at fault, they should always know you are joking, or it may not be seen as a joke.
Bottom line, joke when they know you are joking, or else don't joke at all.

I have personally seen people bullied by people who claim to be "only trolling". If trolling is geared toward someone's life or personal issues it crosses the line I think. Example: Trolling someone for being "an autistic who takes things too seriously" is no less than bullying that kid endures in school for it. Not saying all trolling is necessarily bullying, but hiding behind the word "troll" happens too often. I have personally seen people be emotionally shaken by "troll" attacks.

Theres a difference between trolling and cyberbullying, cyberbullying is just being plain out rude saying "Sup dumb bitch fuck yourself" Trolling is just doing something to make someone mad.

Though I am a troll, I only troll if necessary, I have almost taken down a pedophile who uses autism as an excuse for everything, and I also understand your opinion, I am also glad your not taking this to far as to being a major hypocrite and such, (seems i'm walking back to the smarter side of DA)
