Oh absolutely!! The stealth defamation trolls are a serious problem. I really don't feel like fiction/otherkind, shippers, sj, and other such communities they hate all having the same problem with this is a coincidence. Like not to sound like a conspiracy theorist but it kind of feels like the altright practiced their disinformation strategies on otherkind, LGBT+ microlabels, and shippers before moving onto bigname politics.
People can't seem to recognize blatant trolls anymore, either. About 2015 is when I saw the shift for that too. It feels,,, engineered in part. All the posts about how to recognize different types trolls suddenly stopped circulating, and I knew Multiple People who thought the Hitlerkin guy was serious. Like. Hitlerkin. The most classic kind of troll. Im sure that's Not actually a totally orchestrated thing solely on the shoulders of 4chan trolls, but what with this shift between 2014 and 2016 being the timeperiod of all of these things(and even acecourse now that I think about it), boy does it feel like it.
