The message I took away was “I wasn’t loved enough as a child and now I think it’s funny to be a prat on the Internet because I have literally nothing else to do with my life.”
I wouldn’t go that far. 234 wasn’t mean spirited, looked he was just trying to have a laugh. I think of a troll more as someone who’s trying to fuck with people by making fun of them or insulting them to get them angry. 234 was just sort of silly and fun. I’d bet a lot of people post here because they’re bored, and I think that reasoning extends to most socks as well.
