Some are even disguised as so-called 'real Celine Fans' (fantrolls) who look for the opportunity to malign other people because they are insecure and unable to post their thoughts respectfully or intelligently about Celine or anything else!

Why do you fantrolls always say good graphics doesn't matter? (it does).

It must have really hurt a fantroll such as yourself to see Sony's pathetic E3 showing. Sony did take it upon themselves claim victory in the console wars, so that ought to be good enough for a fantroll.

I can see that your intentions are to contradict the fantrolls that come in here spreading misinfo.

Since fantrolls like Bilgefuck love posting stories about Nvidia's share prices, I thought I'd throw this one out there: http://news.com.com/2100-1043_3-1000790.html

Oh, I'm not saying Sony wouldn't do the exact same thing, and you know that the resident fantrolls would be crowing about it every chance they got.

Do remember that all comments about me by any of the fantrolls are malicious lies. I think that they're all suffering from sour grapes and jealousy - they know that I don't fancy *ANY* of them and wouldn't shag 'em even if they paid me. Their frustrated lust for me is the root cause of their obsessive hounding of me wherever I go.
Noun: "(Homestuck fandom slang) a Homestuck troll original character created by a fan"
I'm still annoyed that "cringe culture" focuses so much on say, kids/teens/austsitic people liking Cuphead/making fantrolls/Sonic OCs and not say, corporations who refuse to pay their employees a living wage and middle aged tech billionaires trying to act "Hip".
