Agony troll

Someone who has a very privileged life without any real world problems yet takes to social media to whine and complain about how miserable they are.

Agony trolls typically blame their self made misery on white males, patriarchy, or some mysterious oppression.

Today Twitter is filled with agony trolls.

Master-baiting troll

The creepiest kind of Facebook troll.
The type that sits on Facebook community pages tagging you in everything to get a rise out of people and bait you in.
Sometimes they even may feature your photos in their own groups.
It really gets them off.
