The Internet can be a cruel and desolate place. Pudgy girls are fed to the cyber-bully wolves of 4chan, anonymous comment thugs alternate between death threats and grammar policing, moments of grief caught on camera are auto-tuned into an RnB track- the ability to taunt from the safety of a computer has become a favoured past time. But what happens when the troll becomes the trolled?
Step up Peter Coffin, a mildly successful YouTube comedian known for getting into slanging matches with other mediocre online slebs. Coffin launched an unprovoked troll on Xiaxue, a Singaporean blogger and the two had a spat over Twitter (I know, this is a very modern dispute). Xiaxue decided to cut the fight short and block Coffin, only to become the target of his purported and suspiciously hot Japanese-American girlfriend Kimi Kobayashi. Xiaxue, dubious about the account, did some detective work and with the help of her inexplicably massive Asian following found that Kobayashi’s photos were in fact stolen off the personal sites of some random Korean model. |

he actually went to reddit to try to plead his case saying he was getting trolled and bla bla bla & it backfired on him:
