Woman Discovers Husband, Father of Her Unborn Child, Is A Disgusting Internet Troll [View all]

Good read. Some of you may know, we have a misogynist troll that usually hits HOF sooner rather than later. It may a sock, or a small group, or a single, determined person-- any number of options. Nonetheless, sooner or later they appear. MIRT is very aware of this troll, and usually finds them quickly.

So I thought this article very apropos



OOF. Awful. And any and all words connoting soul-crushing despair. In a post on Reddit, a woman who goes by the handle whatanasssss recounts how she found out her husband of six years is a “really fucking nasty” troll who preys on people on Reddit and Tumblr. And that’s just the start. Warning for some foul (troll-like) language below.

The revelation came about when Mr. Troll left his browser window open after going to work. “He leaves horribly mean comments to all kinds of people,” wrote the woman.

“They’re filled with racist slurs, awful insults, he tears into fat people, ugly people, etc. He loves to troll around places like /r/progresspics to discourage people, etc. He’s sent PMs to people to call them names, calls women who post on /r/gonewild sluts and whores and cunts, etc.

I was horrified. Completely horrified. My husband is a nice, gentle man who is supportive and kind. In our 9-year relationship, we’ve fought three times total. I never thought this is a behavior he would take part in.

But this is something else. It made me wonder what else he did on the internet, so I looked at the browser history to find him also harassing teenagers on tumblr. Telling them to kill themselves, calling cute girls ugly and fat and stupid, etc. It horrified me to think this was the man who could be raising our daughter with me in a few months.
