Internet troll personality disorder
>From Encyclopedia Dramatica
DSM fanboys and fangirls are hard at work on the fifth edition of the
Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, due to be
published some time so far from now the year will be in Stardate form.
The most exciting announcement of the American Psychiatric Association
so far is the inclusion of Internet troll personality disorder to the
already impressive number of mental disorders.
Origins
Trolls have existed from the early days of the Internets and Usenet.
Before them were the oracles, wizards, scientists, illuminati members,
prophets, and natural leaders. Regular and fluid social interaction
has kept such people in check, holding them back by fear and thus
preventing these positive traits from manifesting. Fortunately, the
anonymity the Internet offers has paradoxically allowed people to show
their true selves, with less brainwashing from social institutions.
Thechisa theorizes that ITPD is a mutant strain of the otherkin
fixation, and on some subconscious level its rabid afflicted believe
themselves to be actual mythical trolls. There may be some truth to
this, as their tendency to also be basement-dwelling nerds
approximates the living conditions found underneath a bridge.
[edit] Research Criteria
The Internet Troll Personality Disorder is characterized by attention-
seeking and disruptive behavior in anonymous, delocalized places of
socializing. It is indicated by the following traits:
* A tendency to make the most useful, interesting comments.
* An 18 charisma score that draws the attention of users toward
them.
* The ability to create ideas that flow from person to person
nonstop until they have made everyone spend their time in the troll's
valuable communique.
* Such a brilliant command of social engineering, that the troll
can trick others into fighting amongst themselves on the internet
endlessly. (i.e. crossposting to two opposing usenet groups, tricking
them into starting a flame war, then sitting back and watching the
fun)
* High intelligence (16 or higher)
* High degree of social skills IRL.
* Uses multiple usernames as sock puppets (the more the better)
* Establishes dominance in a community by using multiple
usernames
Treatment
Researchers have experimented with everything from shock therapy to
furry porn to castration to treat Internet troll personality disorder
with no success. The psychodynamics of this personality disorder
indicated that constant asswhooping may be the best treatment. Getting
the research sample group out of their respective mothers' basements
was difficult, and removing the hamburger and french fries from their
hands and mouths was nearly impossible, but a little sunshine and
exercise did these creatures good. After being taught the essentials
of hygiene and manners, the trolls were ready for the treatment: women
who really like to have sex. Within one week, the severity of the
disorder was diminished for every patient, and within three months the
patients were all symptom free. But once the ex-trolls looked up from
their cubicals saw how boring they had become, they all committed hara
kiri, the Japanese form of suicide designed to restore one's honor
after shame.
Current research is investigating the possibility of a relapse into
disordered personality function if the patient does not get laid in
the ass, furry-style. For those pitiful cases who cannot keep a
girlfriend, researchers are considering the role prostitutes may play
in treatment.
Trolls exist only in the minds of persons who get angered by thoughts and
ideas.. people who get angered by.. the alphabet.
At issue, was whether Jesus was part of God the Father at the
beginning of creation, or only existed from the time Mary bore him.
People not only get angry, they get violent.
