First Internet Troll Discovered
Today, we reveal the incredible story of how an unassuming photography major amazingly discovered trolls on the Internet after posting "selfies" on Tumblr.
The staggering events have rocked the online world, and persuaded the shellshocked student to create a powerful art project expressing in stark detail, just how victimised she, and all other women are, daily. The project consists of images of the selfies, with some mean messages she received from the trolls, superimposed over the top of them.
The photographer posts pictures of her artwork and the occasional selfie on her Tumblr page, the Daily Mail reported, posting ten of them on their website. Bottos, 21, said that she receives mean messages almost exclusively after she posts the "selfies".
The messages, which were easily as intense and disturbing as those one might encounter on say, a school playground, were posted in response to the selfies when she initially freely shared them with the entire world via Tumblr.
"The authority people feel they have to share their opinion on my appearance is something myself and many other girls online deal with daily." said Bottos, authoritatively sharing her opinion on the trolls' opinion of her appearance, which she had originally authoratively freely shared online with the entire world, which had been nonplussed originally but had managed to deal with it.
Bottos says that the hurtful messages are clearly related to her gender, but this reporter thinks this is difficult to determine right now. There simply isn't a big enough sample size. This is a new phenomena right now, and deserves further study - and art projects.
I mean, whoever heard of troll, on the Internet? This is Johnny Shadowfax, picking his own jaw up off the floor and reporting for Patriarchy News.
