Ppl that make these kinds of comics clearly do not socialize with others irl. This only happens online with other trolls, from everywhere on the spectrum of whatever group. But irl, most people are pretty decent.

Just like me. Here I am a very toxic one, but in the real world I consider myself a nice person

Isn’t that the whole point of social media? A cathartic outlet that doesn’t actually affect anyone or anything.

Yes, you little piece of shit

The internet is part of real life. Internet trolls are real people behind their screens, and they live somewhere. Maybe they live far away from you and near this artist.

I agree. There is an added layer of depersonalization, but it's still real life, just like driving in traffic. The same people who would be courteous in person could be cutting you off and being freely offensive on the road. The interactions are no less real, maybe even more real than some situations that prescribe some distancing, like a job interview or talking to a coworker, depending on how close you are.

If you're a digital artist, your domain is the internet. Your audience is the internet. Your medium is the internet. In that case, you'll write about the internet.

Maybe they also don't socialize because they never actually go out either. Just a bunch of asocials sitting in their respective moms basement trolling away.

Maybe the artist is a mum with a troll in her basement. Or maybe she has a shithead cousin who says this garbage at family reunions.
