This is a common expression I hear when frequenting Facebook Groups. It seems the more lighthearted a group may be, the more trolls appear trying to ruin the dynamic. As it mentioned in the Time Magazine article How Trolls are Ruining the Internet, we have arrived in a point in time where we have a serious imbalance between Internet Culture  and Internet Justice. While these may be the polar ends of the spectrum, the in-between is where the lines get blurred. As we work harder to create a safer, more enjoyable space for people of all races and creeds to grow, we must also work to encourage laws to catch up to the work of trolls. Whether it be harassments, doxxing or general mischief, we need to be more vigilant in creating a safer online community.

We cannot all just be a couple of things. Our identifiers are based on INTERSECTIONALITY. Were several ideologies and identifiers overlap and intersect.

"It's just a joke". Trolls regularly invade the spaces of unsuspecting people just to get a rise out of them. They often post their content which is meant to evoke strong, angry emotion but cover their butts by saying "It's just a joke" when clearly it is intended to upset and/or harm.
