    Trolling in its original sense can be extremely annoying but is ultimately harmless and easily and safely ignored (“Don’t feed the trolls”) because the troll will eventually be bored at not getting a reaction. The term has unfortunately come to be used for legitimate criticism that the speaker doesn’t like as well as actual harassment. Sending dick pics or calling out terfs is not trolling.
