My question is how well is Bella able to delay gratification
There's likely a bit of narcissistic personality disorder going on, considering that she has to have a constant feedback loop for her heinous shit in her discord,
Which we got lucky with, I guess.
Not going to bother comparing her to past trolls, because what she does goes beyond trolling and its more like she was a sociopath and then saw that "trolling" was a thing that she could do;
but someone said that the actual smart trolls online did things completely anonymous, they didn't brag, they were silent, they came in, did something amusing, and then disappeared completely.
Bella couldn't do that. She needed people constantly gratifying her, needed to assemble multiple discord servers with weens to hi-five her, she's talked about discussing some reprehensible things with her father before as well. Seeing all her discord logs and how she wanted to brag and revel in her actions is what really fucked her in the end.
There are sociopaths, serial killers, perverts, and other fucked up people who don't get caught, don't need a feedback loop for their ill actions, and don't leave any trail, or log.
For her, its similar to case where people leave clues to gloat, a zodiac killer list (not that shes that level), mail their victims letters, return to the scene of the crime, etc. That's the pathology we're dealing with, and I'm happy that she was incompetent and id-ridden there. The fact that she would brag about everything and post videos of boiling hamsters alive in her discord is truly disturbing, but hay, gotta appreciate the stupidity and need for that feedback loop when it comes to dumb, twisted individuals.
