Okay, so what/who are trolls? and i shall not actually try to increase to risk of me getting trolled upon, so here's wiki's definition:In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory,extraneous,or off-topic messages in an online community,such as an online discussion forum,chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into a desired emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.Now now, do you really agree that trolls are always bad? I don't. well , for me, i don't really chance upon trolls that disrupt on-topic discussion, which only leaves, inflammatory messages. I feel that trolls are not necessarily bad.. because sometimes, there are these noobs that don't actually do some research before posting unnecessary stuff, and well, trolls are the ones that get rid of them.

So, in a good way, they get rid of these nuisances. In a bad way, more than in the good, they hurt these people's feelings.

And so, to the main point, why did i even mention this?

Its because of this. NAH THEY AREN'T TROLLS. they're the ones who are targeted by these trolls.okay, refer to http://forums.sgcafe.com/complaints/93616-please-tone-down-better-stop-free-hugs-bullshit.html .
Invinc: Please Tone Down or Better. STOP the Free Hugs Bullshit?
Invinc :It's getting lame.
Every event we have people running around with a big sign giving away free hugs. Free hugs for the sake of free hugs.
Countless times, it's always the same kind of people doing it, with the same lack of reason or purposeful goodwill.
Please, attention seekers, please stop.
It screams "Attention Seeker".
It's pathetic.
 Context information( before you jump to conclusions..)
This post was posted on sgcafe right after/during sakura fest, and it was posted in the complaints section of sgcafe, so yes, the post itself is not wrong, SINCE its the complaints section.

Okay to clarify, the people in the photo above, are actually my friends, but that doesn't mean i'm doing this to like, stand up for them, its more of like, its plain ridiculous. lack of reason or purposeful goodwill? oh wow you can read minds. quit your job or studies and go be a mind reader , earn big bucks and enjoy life.Hugs= lame? Yeah, people running around with a big sign giving free hugs, doesn't that show goodwill? ( OKAY unless they touch you with the purpose of molesting, then thats another thing), and isn't it  great to know that within people who DO NOT actually even have a teeny bit of goodwill, there are actually some kind souls, who are willing to hug strangers you know.
what caugh my attention the most was.... ATTENTION SEEKERS?Hello? cosplaying itself is attracting attention, quit cosplay then tell me that. so like what? those people with flag day tins trying to collect money or even those people who give out flyers with banners on them= attention seekers=Pathetic?. *as much as YOU aren't willing to hug strangers, most people wouldn't even want to hug a stranger like YOU-*.( especially if you're like some freaky person who really looks like the troll face picture above.). which then brings me to this point. WHY DO YOU EVEN BOTHER POSTING SOMETHING LIKE THIS ON A FORUM? . Yes i'm aware its the complaints section, but ask yourself this question, is it really necessary? Or are you just trying to gain recognition and approval?. With that said, i do know that the society in singapore isn't really that open ( try walking in a bright wig for a day and count how many weird stares you get, you'll understand). and i do know that in these people's opinions, they might think that these people holding these free hugs banners might cause the society to NOT accept cosplay , but then, refer to the above * again... Sigh, which then brings me to this point my friend mentioned. Why do singaporeans complain so much? so like forums are actually encouraging complaints? Different people have different opinions and so these complains would definitely spark into arguments in a matter of time, especially when its on a forum.
And as much as there are people who dislike this, there will be people who like this.
BUT, what that really ticked me off about this isn't about this .
BUT why the person who's actually *shooting* these people is actually their friend.
If you're that unhappy about this free hugs thing, go to their faces, or whatever and tell them directly that you don't really like it, and of course, provide reasonable reasons, and not just something like :" I don't like it because its annoying" YEAH WHY ISIT ANNOYING HUH? and you expect people to understand. and here comes the worst part...
THESE trolls actually post hurtful stuff about the free hugs group, like, really hurtful stuff, on the NET, on FORUMS, yes, for everyoneee to seee and probably approve of.
lets imagine this situation:
-troll at home-.
*with a troll face *: -spam types hurtful stuff on their keyboard to express their unhappiness-
-troll in real life-
*sees their troll targets whom he/she says he/she doesnt like on forums*-says hi with an angelic smile and talks like CLOSE FRIENDS-.
OH MY GOSH. seriously, you're so fake, everybody could see through.
Nownow, i personally think i would be a good troll if i wanted to be one. But nah, i've got no interest in gaining approval of whatever i think/do , and hurting people in the process.
Besides, if i were their friend, i'll tell them the truth, face to face, about how i feel instead of posting in some petty complaints section to gain recognition.
Like, can you imagine what trolling might cause?
It might cause a person to suffer from depression you know, especially when these type of trolling causes many cosplayers to dislike another cosplayer in the ALREADY SMALL cosplay community in Singapore.
And then they can only see that one part of you.
For example, Person Z was flamed on the forums because he and his group made too much noise during an event. the online community contributes to this discussion and concludes that that bunch are just an inconsiderate bunch.So now, the rest of the cosplay community avoids communicating with that bunch, EVEN AFTER THAT BUNCH HAVE realised their mistake and changed, causing these people to either quit cosplay or whatever. basically, the point im trying to make is, opinions cant be changed easily.
You won't like everything everybody does.Not everybody would like everything you do either. So get a life,
stop making other's lives miserable. Treat others the same way you want to be treated, Not everybody is perfect. Just like how one day you might make a mistake and unfortunately, get caught by a troll.
