Nostalgia Troll

That one asshat who always appears on the chat board whenever a clip from a beloved classic movie or historical event is played, only to loudly boast how much better everything was back then, how men were more manly, women more womanly, and how everything that came after was just “woke” garbage, thus ruining the experience for everyone else.

“I tell you, they don’t make movies like this anymore. Now its all CGI, hack directors, and wokeness.”

This spake the nostalgia troll

The troll effect

When somebody on the internet starts trolling in a comment thread, it often elicits more people to come and troll (for the lulz). The larger the "troll train", the more trolls it will attract. This is known as the troll effect.

User 1: Wow! It's so nice to see another rover on mars!
User 2 (in reply to User 1): Bet they didn't tell you that the footage was all recorded in a studio!!
User 3 (in reply to User 2): Shhhh!! Brainwashed people are sensitive to these truths. Careful with what you say ;)
User 4: This is obviously all fake. I call BS.
User 5: You guys really believe that this is real? lmao
User 6: Can you trolls just shut the fuck up? You're only amplifying the troll effect.

fact-troll

Trolling people without bending the truth/lying, solely grounded in absolute truths.

Thomas: "Sam's BMI has been way too high his whole life, this has resulted in a higher fatty acid composition in his cerebral brain lobes and is the primary factor why he can't understand basic banter."
Jane: "Stop being such a fact-troll, Thomas."
