Pepe's got me thinking. It's just so much fun to drive easily triggered fools to insanity (any beyond!) by calmly saying or implying something just over the edge of PC-acceptability.

What are the ingredients for world-class trolling? How can I make patrick.net a center for exchange of knowledge in this delicious technique and technology?

A few thoughts:

* The trolling has to be done with an entirely straight face. The victim has to think you're serious.
* The remark has to be somewhat ambiguous, so that you have plausible deniability and can claim the victim simply misunderstood.
* The victim must respond far out of proportion, nicely illustrating their hyper-sensitive intolerant neuroticism.

Hugh Mungus was clearly an expert.

Yep..

and he got so Triggered by your post, and since he has you on ignore (and had to read it in a different un-logged in browser), he responded back to it in a different thread.

Folks, it doesn't get anymore screwed up with Dan and his Triggering than that!

lol, he is not doing so well with the new format down here at patrick dot net.

I'm about to be #triggered next time i click NEW on a thread and it loads the OP. Ffs Patrick, fix that

@errc Please tell me more. I don't know what you mean by clicking "NEW" on a thread.

You mean when you click "latest comment" from the home page or some other list of threads? There is the possibility that the person who wrote the latest comment is ignoring you, in which case you will in fact just see the Original Post.

This is a hidden revenue stream that should be taken advantage of.
At a dime a pop for one-time access to bypass the 'ignored' sentry.
So many people triggered...So much cash flow...

Newsweek Journalist Cries “Assault” After Epilepsy Triggered By Pepe on Twitter

In one of the funniest, most hysterical op-eds I’ve ever seen on Newsweek, the author claims he was cyber-assaulted by a Pepe meme. That’s not hyperbole, either — he truly believes that being sent a meme on Twitter rose to the level of criminal assault because the meme intentionally triggered his epilepsy.

That reminds me. When Bill ate Big Macs, it was 'endearing' 'down to earth' 'common touch'.

Donald eats a taco bowl, and it's "Fatso" "Fast Food Promoter".
