Yeah, there is an awful lot less patience around for dissenting opinions on the internet these days. Disagree with someone and you could end up in jail like this guy.
This is exactly it. Case in point: I made a post in another snap - title was a question about (what you dont like) or something along those lines. I made a post saying I don't like certain things and someone replies: YER TROLLING
It was the same on reddit: I don't like what yer saying you Troll
I remember a time where Troll meant someone who purposely went out there and tried to annoy and irritate. But now it's for anyone who posts something you don't agree with
What happened to Pao was harassment plain and simple - there was actually very little constructive critiscism
The word 'troll' has lost all meaning. What she went through is past trolling, and something else entirely.
Unfortunately what trolling seems to mean these days is "disagree with".

I feel like troll and sjw are just terms to label people that disagree.
