finally got around to reading about a lot of the shit i wasn't familiar with (watchmen saga etc). i don't know how to articulate this exactly, but zoomer "trolls" seem way more likely to just be unironic stans compared to the older ones? and their "trolling" is less about getting a rise out of him or spurring him to make funny content, it seems more just...getting cwc to repeat le epic memes and encouraging him to retreat more and more into fantasyland. a lot of the older trolls tried to get him to go out, meet non-insane people, be productive, apply for jobs. the zoomers, often egomaniacal and delusional themselves, just wanted him to become even more of an unreal cartoon creature. like they were trying to hollow out his brain and fill the void with themselves
