Trolls are reinforcing the bubble by "proving" that everyone outside of it is purely an asshole with no intent to have a conversation, merely to insult and ridicule and try to cause people to leave the forum.

The problem is the labeling of them as trolls, is what I meant.

There is no such thing as trolls, that person you call a troll is making a joke or making a point and you're too far inside your own bubble to not call them an asshole.

No, the person who's harassing someone for being different isn't making a joke or a point. They're harassing someone for being different.

People who try to make others commit suicide don't have a valid point.

Okay. I believe you.

I'm not familiar with those.

The sorts of things I've seen are more like Berta Lovejoy / Doritan Cheeto.
