A form of guilt tripping, where someone tries to shame people for supposedly lacking empathy by falsely conflating their beliefs with the causes of various tragedies, on the basis of anecdotal evidence. Often used to stereotype entire groups of supposedly privileged people as part of a vast evil, inhuman conspiracy to keep the oppressed masses subjugated, especially in identity-politics and neo marxist circles. Also employed as a form of virtue-signaling
Idpollers constantly engage in empathy trolling on social media to milk political and social capital for themselves and their cause, out of tragedies.

Get the Tootsie Trolling mug.1. When you stand up to trolls by using their own tactics against them-- petty insults, sarcasm, twisting words, in an attempt to 'troll them back'.
2. When you PRETEND to stand up to trolls --- but your actual motive is to encourage flame wars and mistrust in general... by labeling an innocent poster as a troll and getting other posters to believe the label is true, so they turn against the falsely-accused.
3. Anti-trolling, ultimately, is just another form of trolling. However 'well intentioned' a so-called anti-troll claims to be, ultimately anti-trolling only gives a troll even MORE of the negative attention he craves, and encourages more posters to get angrier at each other, for stupider reasons.
