Description: Depending on the situation, it’s fair to say that there can be many different reactions to trolling. Trolling can incite frustration, irritation, sadness, and grief in many of it’s victims. However, I argue that the most natural reaction to trolling is anger. That’s why this mask has been handcrafted in this way. It may not be the prettiest, but it get the point across. When trolling occurs in the midst of heated discussions like those of race, it tends to cause more anger than anything else. I took this stance based on the trolling of Emmett Till’s memorial. In doing this, I’m representing what many of the people involved in the trolling incident felt, anger at the troll trying to trivialize the horrid action.
