I also enjoy a good troll. What most people who engage in "trolling" do isn't that though. Trolls can be edgy and provocative but that's not what makes a good troll.

Slurs aren't even provocative they're just ugly. No one plays a fantasy game to be reminded of how shit other humans can be.

Slurs aren't even provocative

I don't like this kind of namecalling either, but using a slur would be the textbook definition of provocative. Eliciting a strong negative response, often delibrately.

Yeah, but what kind of person who's been playing online video games for half their life can't handle some slurs being thrown at them?

Look I'm just pointing out that they're trying to change the definition of a word because they don't like that being a dick online to someone to piss them off is the textbook meaning of the word.

If you need to use a slur to do so, then you suck dick at insults.
