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.

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?
Since the 1980s, we have gone from "faggots who destroy the fabric of society" to "people with certain preferences in the privacy of their bedroom". That accuracy is important. Try doing that for "troll" and "toxic" and other hyperbolic nonsense. It feels good!
