The next time you call someone "toxic" or a "troll", reflect on how casually you did so, with absolute social acceptance, encouragement and impunity. That's what it was like to call someone a faggot or homo (pejoratively) in the 1980s. History repeats.

Gay people are not a group? There are never harmful actions online? Really?
Gay people and not-gay people are individuals. There is no purpose in "grouping them" with respect to "degree of harm to others." "Trolls" do not exist. There are no groups to discuss.

Guess we're using the terms differently. Gay people are individuals with a common attribute that leads to some common experiences (by hate groups, etc) and concerns (equal rights). I see "troll" as descriptive of online abuse or disregard of individual harm. You?

I agree on first. I see "troll" as just a socially acceptable form of name-calling and abuse. Like "faggot" in the 1980s.
