 * 5) * 2012, David Brown (18 March 2012), Richard Bacon on the online abuse he’s suffered for two years, Radio Times (retrieved 2017-11-09; archived from the original 2015-03-21):
 * “These trolls think they’re being satirical and brave because they’re putting these dangerous, edgy so-called jokes on there, but in reality it’s cowardly. It’s the antithesis of bravery because they rarely identify themselves or give away personal information. That’s not courage.”
 * 1) * 2015, Ellen Pao (16 July 2015), Former Reddit CEO Ellen Pao: The trolls are winning the battle for the Internet, Washington Post (retrieved 2017-11-09; archived from the original 2017-10-20):
 * A large portion of the Internet audience enjoys edgy content and the behavior of the more extreme users; it wants to see the bad with the good, so it becomes harder to get rid of the ugly. But to attract more mainstream audiences and bring in the big-budget advertisers, you must hide or remove the ugly.
 * 1) * 2017, Matthew Sheffield (27 April 2017), Trolling for a race war: neo-Nazis are trying to bait leftist “antifa” activists into violence—and radicalize white people, Salon (retrieved 2017-11-09; archived from the original 2017-09-04):
 * At first, trolling was simply an apolitical form of amusement — web posting as performance art. The image board 4chan soon became its mecca.
 * Over time, however, the trolls began moving from joking about racism to advocating it in their desire to become ever more edgy. Andrew Anglin, creator of the neo-Nazi website the Daily Stormer and a longtime troll before that, described the transformation process in a lengthy post on his blog:
 * “The sentiments behind the jokes slowly became serious, as people realized they were based on fact," he wrote. "Non-ironic Nazism [began] masquerading as ironic Nazism.”

 * Dank meme communities love making fun of fidget spinners, especially because spinners are associated with autistic kids, a favorite target for mockery in “edgy” online spaces like 4chan and Reddit. There, spinners are considered emblematic of everything that’s wrong with society, and they’re used as a metaphor for anything unlikeable.
