Unfortunately it's accidental.
Man, seriously, like, this is kinda the point here.
Everyone and their mother wants to go online and post dicks or something as though it's putting effort into anything at all. Man, like, I did that shit back in the day. Like, before the RIA thought it was a good idea to give me access to basically everything, all I did for the RIA was post dicks everywhere in every topic.
Anyway, so, your mother posts a dick online and some dude goes aw shit there is a dick. Your mom's cockles (

The problem is, nowadays, on the Internet it's a lot easier to get idiots really pissed off because there are a lot more idiots.
Go to any Youtube video and say "Gee, I bet Obama would like this video." and you have a shitstorm on your hands.
ProObama idiots are all like "Wtf does that even mean, this video is about kittens." and then your AntiObama folk come in and say "Obama literally eats kittens, fuck him."
It's like any half hearted attempt at deception or any reaction at all is considering being trolled...and it works.
If I ask you if you want a piece of gum and I give you an empty piece of gum wrapper, that was way more effort than most trolling. People miss the point. It's not about the empty gum wrapper. It's about when you push them in the mud afterwords and laugh and say that you don't give nerds gum. While wearing Spock ears.
I used to make a topic on GameFAQs all the time in the Star Wars boards called "I've Never Seen Star Wars Before" with the message of "Is it good? Do you guys think I should watch it?"
I'd make this topic like every other week.
"I still haven't seen Star Wars yet. Is it still good?"
It was an okay gig. I'd pick up a regular poster who would be like "This guy literally asks this all the time" and blah blah blah and everyone else would be like "LOL YOUVE NEVER ESEEN STARWARS"
I don't know, I'm busy right now so I'm just going to post this.
