Facts hitting a bit hard I see.
"Trolls typically make things personal, especially when presented with facts or the "truth" that challenges their position. Their primary motivation is not genuine debate or learning, but to provoke an emotional reaction, cause distress, and gain a sense of power or amusement (known as "for the lulz").
Here's how they generally react:
Ignoring or Denying Facts: Trolls are often not interested in objective truth. They will frequently ignore, deny, or twist proven facts to sustain the argument and their position.
Personal Attacks (Ad Hominem): When their "arguments" are defeated by facts, trolls often resort to personal insults, name-calling, and attacks on a person's character, appearance, or perceived weaknesses (e.g., targeting insecurities, disabilities, etc.). This shifts the focus from the topic to the individual, which is their goal.
Derailing the Conversation: The introduction of truth or a solid argument often causes the troll to try and derail the conversation entirely with off-topic comments, misinformation, or outrageously absurd statements."
