DON'T FEED THE TROLL: CAPTAIN FALCON TROLLS A TALKSHOW HOST INTO QUITTING
-
2017-11-09 at 5:35 AM UTCPreamble:
There is a person who is very famous in a particular motorsports community. When I say "very famous", I am not talking about simply e-famous; I'm talking about "he has a TV show" famous. Lets call him K. He also has an internet talk show that is 100% Patreon funded.
Over the past 3 years, I've been casually pointing out what a hypocritical, thin skinned dipshit this person is on a popular Motorsports forum. He complains about "snowflakes" yet blocks people on Twitter left and right if you even slightly disagree with him. He bans people from his own social media if anyone calls him out for anything. And so on.
1 week ago, K actually called me out by my username on his talk show and said I was one of the most insane, ridiculous people he's ever seen online.
This, children, is known as "feeding the troll". I knew that I was in. I instantly shot him a tweet saying "Hey K, great show! Thanks for the shout-out!" K is notoriously insecure on Twitter, so I knew he would read this. The subtle jab is all I needed.
Today, I commented on said motorsports forum that his most recent show was insanely ridiculous mental masturbation; he has a penchant for calling out at "the community" at large and acting like every fan is a fucktard. Classic superiority complex. He doesn't target any specific claims, simply attack the vague "other" (e.g. "the Left says!...") and act like he's the harbinger of truth and reason. Half of his show's runtime is basically just this BS.
So I wrote a simple 1 line reply calling out his mental masturbation.
To this, one of the fans replied with "are you still mad that he called you ridiculous?"
And to this I replied "no, I even support his Patreon, which makes this show possible. See, I even tweeted this at him", and hyperlinked to the tweet.
literally 5 minutes later, I check the tweet and hmmmmm, I can't see his tweet that I replied to. I google him in Incognito, find his twitter profile and copypaste it into noncognito browser. BLOCKED.
LUL.
5 more minutes pass.
I get an notification on my phone: "K has followed you on Twitter!"
As I open up my Twitter app, I get a notification from the app itself, a new tweet mention. He tweeted at me "hey, please DM me". I follow him back, and he DMs me first. This nigga is literally sitting at his computer doing this shit RIGHT NOW lol, I knew I was getting to him.
Kindness mode engaged; this is how you troll kids, descalate and drive them nuts rather than being hostile.
The twitter convo was as follows (pls ignore shitty MSPaint stitch job, I got real tired of this shit):
Holy shit lmao, I triggered this shitter so hard that he's quitting his own fucking talk show.
The best part?
I do not support them on Patreon.
I have never given him a dime and I'd love to see his shitty talkshow die. Cross your fingers and hope he follows through, boys HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

2017-11-09 at 7:22 AM UTCI'll read the OP THOROUGHLY in a few I just wanted to say Patreon reminds me of peleton which for those who don't know is the main pack of cyclists in a bicycle race, which is designed to reduce drag and energy for riders positioned in the middle and to the back, thus conserving themselves for a later push ahead of the peleton in an attempt to win the race. If your main job is to be in the peleton, your coaches don't think you're good enough to win. Peletons are the 'front lines' of the cycling world, or the 'offensive lines' of football. They take the damage and do the heavy lifting so someone less deserving can take advantage of it and get the glory.
That's a peleton.
Sorry for the interruption I'll be back with thread-relevant words shortly. Thank you.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

It hasn't even been, like, a concerted effort. I've just been making fun of him, like "yeah he's an idiot" etc. It's more like he delivered himself into my hands. I didn't even know I was getting to him until last week.
Also, I am literally Loki
