They join a forum using a username of a character and pretending to be that character.
Recently there were a couple of trolls who pretended to be the main characters from the movie Avatar. I thought they were actually kind of funny.
Yeah, I don't see how that's trolling TBH.
Because they are pretending to be something they are not. Another part of trolling is making up stories to gain sympathy or attention or pretending to be something you're not and that includes being a movie or TV characters.
Trolling doesn't always involve provoking people and trying to start drama by riling people up or creating multiple accounts just to have an argument with yourself to start a drama. Trolling can also mean playing dumb or pretending to have hurt feelings or pretending to be offended. I have heard of a few members here who mess with the mods by playing dumb and pretending they don't get stuff nor understand things. Same as pretending to not understand what's going on just to mess with the mods and the members here. I suspect someone here was that but I am not sure, either she was a troll or she is that clueless in her actions. Sometimes it's hard to tell if someone is a troll or not or if they just have problems. I can easily be mistaken for a troll.
There is friendly trolling and bad trolling. Friendly trolling is just pretending to be a character out of a movie or TV and what Ferdinand was doing in this section. It doesn't hurt anyone nor cause trouble.
can i be a troll if i sympathize with my avatar and well i find it kinda funny if someone posts a threat about after life or someting and i make comment on that
