Apparent origin of Trump wrestling video raises questions03:41
>Jill Filipovic: We don't need to feel sorry for Internet tormenters, whether a guy in his parents' basement or in the White House
>She says they use their spare time to post hateful commentary for kicks, and plead they "didn't mean it." Of course they do
>Here we are today, in Donald Trump's version of"modern day presidential": Random badly behaved men on the Internet suddenly find their juvenile online aliases thrust into the national spotlight, as "HanA**holeSolo" did this week whenhe concededhe had created the Trump v. CNN meme -- and it was further revealed that he was a regular purveyor of racist and anti-Semitic content on pro-Trump subreddits.
>For women who write on the Internet, the existence of these kinds of trolls isn't new. It would get boring to recount all the harassment I've received from anonymous men on the Internet, but suffice it to say there are few creatively misogynist insults (and many more pathetically uncreative ones, usually starting with the letters B or C or involving obscene demands) that haven't been hurled my way.
>Two of these anonymous men have shown up in my real life, off the Internet. A few of the comments have been sufficiently alarming that I've contacted law enforcement.
>And yet usually, the line between "real life" and "online life" stays impenetrable -- at least according to the trolls themselves, who, when they are found out, nearly universally describe themselves as normal upstanding citizens.
>What goes on in the minds of "trolls" remains mysterious to those among us who may occasionally behave intemperately on Twitter but would never think of using our spare time to post hateful commentary just for kicks.
>The true mark of a person's character, to use a classic mom-ism, is how one behaves when no one is looking. Do you return the wallet you found, or do you keep it? Do you throw your empty bottle away in a garbage bin or litter into a duck pond? Do you spend your time online liking a friend's baby photo and sharing interesting news articles, or do you post memes under an anonymous Reddit handle about how much you hate Jews?
>I don't feel sorry for trolls; they have made my life miserable enough to remove any sympathy on my part. But when I think about what their lives probably look like -- they seem to be not particularly bright nor particularly likable nor particularly busy with interesting or meaningful endeavors, but who knows? -- it gets a little easier to worry less about who they are.
>The bigger worry is who's reading them, and who's allowing their toxic ideas to drip into the mainstream.
>The answer to that used to be, more or less, more trolls, or some bored emotional adolescents who frankly probably serve society better by staying in front of their laptops and away from real human beings (and real women in particular). But now, it appears that one way or another ,content from the fetid cesspools of hate and violent fantasies about harming Jews, Muslims, African-Americans, women and members of the news media is finding its way into the Trump team's consciousness — as was also apparently the case during the presidential race.

CNN should stop worrying about trolls and start worrying about Sam Hyde burning their offices down with people still in them, and that's a quote. If you have a problem with this legitimate violent threat contact my lawyer Mr.Goldmoney Noseschwitz

Oh would you look at that. Trying to reframe the narrative to "WOMEN ARE BEING ATTACKED". Amazing how they can turn literally anything, even CNN blackmailing a male reddit autismo, into a piece on how women are the real victims.

This article is the ultimate conspiracy theory against all men. What she doesn't realize is that she fits the criteria for the clueless feminist that thinks the world revolves around her and practically created us, handsome gentlemen known as "trolls".

I return the wallet I found. I throw my empty bottles away. And I spend REAL time with friends and their kids, and use the internet to post memes. Also, I hate bullies, thieves, and blackmailers, and will use all tools within my power to take them down, without outright breaking any laws.
CNN should remember that we didn't start doxxing them until they doxxed someone. They opened this door, and shouldn't blame others for following them through it.
Alexander Rogers
Remember everyone, physical letters work even better than emails. Emails are easy to send but actual letters mean srs bsns. Send both if you can.

Not like it's working anymore. People are becoming less and less afraid of being called sexist or racist. They'll just walk right through that label.
Jacob Miller
CNN can go get fucked.
Easton Thomas
That's true. The moment I see anything like that I stop reading. I never wanted it to be this way.
Cameron Sullivan
I love how "reporters" get lumped in with poor, bullied minorities. Reporters had their chance. They were respected, once, they served a useful function and were lauded for accurately telling people what was going on...and then that praise and power went to their heads and they started abusing it. Now, it's just another business, and they should be treated like any other dishonest businessmen. Hucksters used to get tarred and feathered, it's time we bring that back.
Nolan Nelson
>what goes on in the mind of trolls >doesn't interview anyone, just writes your own opinion journalism in the current year
Ayden Ward
Nobody did. But if people are going to abuse a shit ton of people by using a label in order to get their way, that label will eventually become ineffective. Go ahead, call me a sexist. My wife won't give a shit. Call me a racist, my friends know better. Call me a homophobe, and see if my employer doesn't know better.
Brayden Lewis
T tl;dr is this line:
>I don't feel sorry for trolls; they have made my life miserable enough to remove any sympathy on my part.
It's literally just a dumb cunt actually taking things said on the internet seriously.
Jacob Russell

Evan Garcia
this is true tho. CNN wants to make sure they're no longer connected to the political violence they caused when that Bernie supporter shot a congressman. They want to offload that onto other people.
It's also funny that they blame Trump like internet trolls didn't exist before him. But logical fallacies never stopped CNN before...
Austin Ross
He didn't create the one Trump posted. The lesson here is NEVER APOLOGIZE. Also, remain anonymous, faggots.
Joshua Wilson
Did they genuinely find a logo superimposed on a GIF to be offensive enough to warrant all this?
Putting logos on people's heads is as old as GIF's.
How fucking unprofessional can you get? I mean, Trump was retarded for retweeting a fucking GIF of a news organisation he has issues with, but fuck me. CNN is not reacting proportionately or professionally.
Also, where was the threat of doxing? I missed it.

Good luck with that, thanks to VPNs and Tor being vulnerable. At this point, all you can do is make it more difficult to unmask. It's still entirely possible.

Matthew Walker
CNN aren't the fucking NSA. Don't use accounts that aren't anonymous. Don't post personal info online. Is that so hard to understand?
Ryan Perry
Who do you think actually has and is willing to use the resources to track you down if you're using a VPN or Tor? It's not going to happen. Unless you commit $100k+ in fraud or steal state/corporate secrets, nobody gives a single fuck. Nobody cares about CNN or politics. CNN doesn't even care. It's all business. They make money from clickbaiting dumb fucks on both sides. Especially the assrage from you people.
Gavin Wright
Destroy CNN. Begin launch of intercontinental ballistic memes.
If Hillary would have won, you would have seen Obama 2.0 but way more aggressive.
The media would be reporting;
> Everything is fine, everything is great, except we need to ban guns and take away your rights for your own safety.
He's most definitely not on "their" side.
If you are smart, you will dance with the enemy at times.

CNN EXCLUSIVE: Our CNN crew is on the way to a trolls lair to confront them in their own environment... But they died before they got there.
Colton Young
Such a strawman. First of all, the guy didn't make posts towards no one in particular, so this comparison with "Twitter trolls that harass women" is fallacious.
This is also not like bit returning a found wallet. Not returning a wallet has immediate consequences to the person who lost it, and also beneficial to your self, the ethics are completely different than posting a meme on a board dedicated to memes.
Logan Myers
Lmao, just released five more Trump Punching CNN gigs on twitter. I win.

No. We're saying teenagers that make tepid memes shouldn't be doxed by professional news organisations.

Why do these people take the internet seriously? Are they so fragile that a gif or message actually affects them? Are they children? Are they just pretending to care to push a narrative?
