This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I think a lot of "bad faith trolls" are exactly this.
What's bad faith trolling? I tried to google it, but struggle to understand
Nice try 😉
No but look up "arguing in bad faith" and if that doesn't make sense let me know.
if even after asking for an explanation your explanation is " try googling it" I'm going to assume you dont want to be understood.
If I'm trolling I'm definitely not doing it consciously. I know "I'm not a troll" is about the most suspicious thing on the internet, especially from a baby account, but sadly I cant be fucked to make a better point
Unfortunately for folks with genuine curiosity, feigning ignorance on information that is perceived to be commonly known or understood is a very common tactic of bad faith actors who attempt to slowly erode a discussion as part of trolling or manipulation. It has put a lot of folks off to the point where they would rather advise to look it up and disengage rather than take a chance it’s another game down the rabbit hole. Reading your dialogue as a third party it illuminates as such even if unintentionally so.
I think I understand? Thanks for claring things up, and sorry if I accidentally distracted from the actual topic (although mentioning the bad faith trolling has probably done that more effectively... but whatever)
I want to add my hesitation came from it being hard to describe adequately and assuming someone else would do better.
Edit: and I never actually thought you specifically were trolling, I was just being cheeky
A bad faith troll is a troll that makes arguments in bad faith. Read more about bad faith arguments here or you can search the web for "bad faith arguments."
