Why are trolls online so mean?

[Cecily]

Like really. You can talk a lot of shit IRL, because most people are pussies, or are at the very least people who prefer not going to jail over a fellow American exercising their right to free speech. Now if you're the type of person who would say something online and not say the same thing to a stranger, you are, in fact, a pussy. And you are most people. Therefore, statistically, it's fine to talk shit to you IRL and by extension most people, who are also pussies. There's outliers who will shoot you, but a little stereotyping saves a whole lot of time.

No. That would be idiotic. And if you don't think "my colleagues in healthcare" aren't some of the meanest people to walk the planet. Yeah if I think someone is an idiot, I'll let them know why are, using workplace appropriate words, and cite reasons why.

I think a lot of people are conflict adverse, which is a nicer word for my page 2 rant. For better or worse I am not. I think it probably correlates to low Big 5 agreeableness. I don't think conflict is necessarily a negative. A lot of people here have called me a troll over the years, and that's probably accurate... but I'm not really sure what those idiots mean by that and I imagine they don't know either. Because they're idiots.

my agreeableness shares a politeness of 3 and a compassion of 98.

Long before the internet people were writing every uncensored thing imaginable on public bathroom walls/stalls and tablet arm desks in high school. The one that was commonplace at the main high school I went to was LAO, written as...

L
A
O

...to resemble an upside down stick figure jerking off.

At first, students would write it in pen but once their artwork started being removed, they carved it into the wood. As to why? Idk. Without over thinking it, we are slightly evolved animals but animals all the same. Everyone has aggression by nature but in society not everyone has an acceptable way of expressing it openly. Some do, some don't, others figure out more productive ways to manage it. There is money to be made from beating people in the face repeatedly or becoming a shock jock.
