LORE ARCHIVE

concept

The concept that 'trolls make the world go round' - acknowledging their role in online culture while maintaining boundaries

Trolls as attention-feeding entities that grow stronger with reaction and weaker with neglect, operating through repetitive patterns of insult, bait, and chaos
