Trolling

Trolling, an unrecognized art. Trolling acts as a way for a troll to provoke a victim, usually making the victim angry or possibly sad.

Trolling has been around for hundreds of years but has been disguised with culture.

Here we will go over the three era's of trolling, dating back hundreds of years ago.

Medieval Jesters
The very earliest trolling dates all the way back to the Medieval ages. Though, trolls had a different name back then. These little trolls were more commonly referred to as Jesters.


 * Jesters were and are very similar to modern trolls today (mostly IRL trolls). There was one thing better than Jesters compared to modern trolls. Jesters lived for trolling as it was their duty and job, while modern trolls tend to troll as a temporary hobby.

Modern Trolls
For a couple hundred years trolls were sent into hiding (specifically under a bridge), the tradition of Jester's eventually died out. Luckily, this new creation came onto mankind which we called the internet.


 * Modern trolls came to the internet in the late 1900's. In later years the internet eventually had websites dedicated to trolling. Soon even your local newspaper would know what trolling was, leading onto the renaissance troll era.

Renaissance Trolls
Trolls have become increasingly popular in later years, leading to a Renaissance age where trolls have almost begun to take over the internet as we know it.

No longer do trolls only lurk on their computers only, a close relative of the Jester (formally called the IRL troll) has revived an old tradition. IRL trolls tend to do their trolling in real life, just as the Jester did hundreds of years ago.

You will now see school children talk about trolling, even sophisticated adults. It is no longer just fun and games but the beginning of a great era for the years to come.
