trollwashing


the practice of using cyber threats, abusive language, and the ill-defined term “har-ssment” coming from a small number of internet trolls to distract from broader legitimate criticism of one’s own poor behavior and to make oneself the victim.

it often includes the implication that non-abusive critics are somehow in-league with those sending death threats, using racial or s-xual epithets, etc. as a way of smearing anyone who criticizes you. it also often involves mischaracterizing jokes and mean words as violent (see anthony rendon below). while trollwashing is a red herring used by a wide variety of political ideologies, it is most often -ssociated with poorly conceived sjw talking points.

prominent examples include:

sky news anchor cathy newman after her disastrous interview with jordan peterson.
california -ssemblyman anthony rendon after scr-w-ng over his progressive supporters.
kathy griffin after pretending to decapitate the president.
hillary clinton throughout the 2016 election.
anti-gamergaters like anti sarkeesian, zoe quinn, and brianna wu literally all the time.
anita sarkeesian: *makes incoherent, illogical horsesh-t video*
entire internet: “this video was incoherent and illogical. here are many legitimate reasons why.”
like, 2 guys: “she’s a dumb b-tch.”
anita: i am the victim of cyber violence anyone who criticizes me is a rapist reeeeeeeeeeeeeee
me: i’m so sick of this god d-mn trollwashing.
