Crowder says stupid words specifically designed to provoke a reaction from people.

196ers react to it.

we had a phrase for how to respond to this type of person/provocation, back in the day. something about food and trolls... but it's long forgotten 😐️

I always preferred the "bait" analogy when describing these tactics.

It's the same analogy originally. The verb "troll" means "To fish for by trailing a baited line from behind a slowly moving boat".

oh shit I never realised that. I always thought it meant like the ogre kind of troll

Seriously, I grew up on sm forums where people would constantly say don't feed the trolls. Shame society at large didn't get the memo
