We Queer Writers Don’t Owe Trolls Our Voices What I chose instead when the noise came for me 🌈

Even after everything I’ve experienced, everything I’ve lived through, everything I’ve learned about how these moments work. There’s a part of me that wants to step in, correct the record, dismantle the logic, expose the contradictions...

WHEN YOU WERE TEN And Other Mistakes, by Rich Paschall In decades past, my mother was a fan of what would be referred to as Supermarket Tabloids. They are usually displayed near the checkout counters of grocery stores. They were meant to catch your eye with provocative headlines and shocking pictures. My mother actually believed a lot of what she read. There was nothing more tantalizing than hot celebrity gossip.

What is the documentary "Social Media Monster" about? The documentary "Social Media Monster" (released in 2021, with updates and references to 2024 versions/streaming) is an independent film directed by Peter John Ross. It explores the destructive impact of one individual's prolonged online harassment and cyberstalking campaigns. The film centers on a man named Matthew Berdyck (referred to as the "Social Media Monster"), described as an unemployed person living in his car who uses a mobile phone and free public WiFi (e.g., at McDonald's or Starbucks) to spread false accusations, disrupt lives, and target individuals and even entire communities without facing significant consequences. Key focus areas include: His arrival in St. Joseph, Missouri, where he allegedly used social media to harass and defame numerous people, escalating to threats (including alleged terrorism-related threats at a nuclear facility). Broader themes of internet trolling, cyberstalking, the lack of effective law enforcement response to online abuse, and the dangers of social media enabling such behavior. Interviews, found footage, the subject's own content, and "deep dive" supporting evidence (e.g., police reports, emails, social media posts, and public documents shared via Google Drive links by the filmmakers). The documentary highlights how one person can leverage online platforms to cause real-world harm, rewrite narratives, and evade accountability. It has been praised in reviews for being eye-opening about digital dangers, trolling, and the need for better societal/legal responses to cyber-predators. It has screened at numerous film festivals, won awards (e.g., "Stranger than Fiction" at the New Jersey Documentary Film Festival), and is available on platforms like YouTube (full version around 89 minutes), Mosaic TV (Roku/Fire TV), and previously briefly on Tubi/Amazon. Note that the subject has reportedly attempted to refute or counter the film with his own content, some of which was incorporated into updates. It's often discussed in contexts of cyberpsychology, online predators, and mental health issues related to obsessive online behavior.

Who are Internet Trolls? Internet trolls are people who deliberately post provocative, inflammatory, rude, or off-topic comments online with the main goal of upsetting others, starting arguments, or getting strong emotional reactions. The term comes from "trolling" (like fishing — dropping bait and waiting for a bite), and it has been around since the early days of the internet (Usenet in the 1990s), but exploded with social media. Here are some classic examples of the Troll Face meme, the iconic symbol of internet trolling: And here's the "angry keyboard warrior" vibe that many trolls embody — raging from behind a screen: Common Characteristics of Internet Trolls Anonymity — They usually hide behind throwaway accounts, no profile picture, or obvious fake names. Provocation for fun — They often don't care about the actual topic; they just want chaos, attention, or laughs (at others' expense). Lack of empathy — Many studies link heavy trolling to dark personality traits (the so-called Dark Tetrad): high levels of sadism (enjoying others' suffering), psychopathy, Machiavellianism, and sometimes narcissism. Disinhibition — People say/do things online they'd never do face-to-face because of anonymity + physical distance ("online disinhibition effect"). Motivations vary: boredom, revenge, power trip, political/ideological agenda, schadenfreude (pleasure at others' misfortune), or even low self-esteem + high FOMO leading to seeking attention. Types of Trolls (a non-complete list) Classic baiter — Posts obvious nonsense to see who falls for it ("all people who like pineapple on pizza should be deported") Rage inducer — Goes for personal insults, especially on sensitive topics Concern troll — Pretends to be on your side while sowing doubt ("I'm a lifelong fan but...") Shock troll — Posts extremely offensive content just to disgust people Political/agenda troll — Pushes propaganda, often in coordinated groups (troll farms) RIP troll — The worst kind — posts vile comments on memorial pages In short: An internet troll is basically someone who treats other humans online like NPCs in a video game — poke them until they react, then laugh at the explosion. The vast majority of us just want normal conversations. Trolls want to watch the world burn... one comment section at a time. 😈
