Hidden behind a vast web system, with keyboards in hand, they wage war on what they see as "shameless people" in the name of justice.
In 2019, the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences said in the "Social Blue Book": One in every three adults has suffered online violence; one in every two minors has suffered online violence.
From celebrity Cui Shirley, Internet celebrity Kafka Muffin Jun (hereinafter referred to as "Muffin Jun"), UP main ink tea to ordinary people, everyone who speaks online may become the target of troll attacks. After Muffin Jun died of cancer, many of the trolls who humiliated his personality and appearance during his lifetime even opened champagne to celebrate.

In the face of all kinds of accusations, Xiao Q, a netizen who used to participate in the Internet storm Muffin Jun, was surprisingly frank, and he felt that Muffin Jun "deserved to die" - "From a young age, she was spoiled and habitual, and she could not say a word, and she looked down on others... Waste of social resources".
In fact, no troll will think of themselves as "trolls" or think they are wrong, on the contrary, most trolls think they are doing justice and trying to maintain the Internet environment.

Pickpocketing
On January 21, the news of the death of the B station UP main ink tea spread on the Internet, weibo user "Lone Sister" spoke: "Out of curiosity, found the UP dynamic page on the B station, browsed it from far and near, unfortunately, after reading it, there is still no tear gas." ”
She explained the reason why she didn't cry: "Why should a boy who can't even eat strawberries and dumplings leave his hometown to rent an apartment?" Because of rebellion? Ink tea became the material for the lone sister's "pickpocketing" on that day.
Compared with the vicious remarks of "dead whole family" that appear from time to time under the bullet screen of B station, Douban comments, and Weibo comments, Gu Jie's wording does not carry dirty words, and she is better at gently telling it, "spraying with pickpockets".
On Weibo, Gu Jie opened a column of "PickpocketIng Drama Essence", which can be watched for a fee. The targets of the pickpockets range from public figures, female victims of vicious social injuries to ordinary people.
Recently, Gu Jie is eyeing a woman named Li Meimei, "a woman who graduated from vocational high school and delusionally wants to be a star", Gu Jie said that Li Mei "wanted to be a star more than ten years ago, but has not been", Gu Jie also forwarded her black history of "deceiving people" on the Internet.
The so-called black history comes from an article on tianya 12 years ago. In 2008, some netizens questioned a girl who loved to sing and dreamed of becoming a singer, and made up a non-existent best-selling history on the album profile produced by her own pocket.
In the lone sister's pickpocketing drama group, a group of people shared this gossip, and then, Li's beautiful photo was dug up, "so ugly and want to be a star, it is simply delusional."

Gu Jie does not care that this story has passed for more than ten years, and she cannot understand the heartache of an ordinary girl who has been obsessed with dreams for more than ten years and still does not accept reality.
Sister Gu said that Li Meili had come to the door by herself. At first, the reason why Li Meili was "exposed" by Gu Jie was because she joined Gu Jie's discussion group and promoted her music in it. In fact, The orphan sister soaks in the Internet almost every day and participates in "social events" at any time.
In addition to Li Meili, the last girl who was pickpocketed by her was a girl who jumped out of the car and died in the car. She actively forwarded the human flesh results of Zhihu netizens on the "Lala Girl", and announced the girl's family background, address, and occupation before her death. Lone sister is looking forward to "reversal".

Her Weibo forwards social information from major news sites at any time, and sometimes makes some comments. In addition to Weibo, in the Internet public opinion field such as Zhihu and Douban, the figure of the lone sister is active, but sometimes in the name of the orphan sister, sometimes it is other trumpets.
In stark contrast to Gu Jie's full participation in Internet events, she rarely shares her real life in public spaces.
Born in 1978, she still lives with her mother. Most recently, I worked as an agent in a real estate company, but eventually quit my job. In her less complete self-description, she is good at stock trading and buying and selling real estate, and is an excellent middle-class woman.
In fact, after graduating from college, in addition to having a few unsatisfactory jobs, the orphan sister has been living on her mother's pension. Lone sister rarely goes out, and the life of waking up every day is to hold the mobile phone to check the replies of netizens, and analyze and debate the direction of various news events with netizens.

Almost at any time, The orphan sister can reply to the netizen's message in seconds. In the sleepy life, every message from netizens can make the lone sister get a short upliftment.
The lone sister who swims on the Internet every day, in real life, the range of activities is no more than 60 square meters between the bedroom and the dining room.
In addition to picking skins, chasing dramas is the life adjustment of the orphan sister. Her Douban account is full of drama reviews, "three views are not correct" and "can't watch it, too bad" - the most of which is one-star bad reviews.
"Messenger of Justice", handling cases online
Gu Jie is good at retrieving all kinds of Internet information, from news website platforms, Weibo information to Zhihu and Douban user analysis, all of which are gu jie's positions for finding information. Gu Jie is not very careful about the information source, as long as she can sort out the beginning and end of the incident, confirm her own speculations, and finally throw out the "truth".
After a long time on the Internet, Gu Jie also learned the skills of human flesh.
She shared the process of an ordinary netizen of her own human flesh - "extracting information from the waiting data of the other party's residential housing, to the residential housing publicity system to inquire, entering the first few digits of the ID card number, and checking the other party's birthday", so that the orphan sister successfully pickpocketed the other party's "lying" in age.
Gu Jie is keen to find black history, so as to debunk the "human design". Gu Jie feels that "telling everyone the truth she knows is a kind of justice, and telling everyone the lies of judgment is a kind of fraternity", she is proud of what she has done, "I am a combination of justice, conscience, morality, and fraternity."

Many years ago, the orphan sister was deeply involved in rights protection disputes, so the social news paid special attention to, while constantly learning legal and psychological knowledge on the Internet, from seven or eight years ago, the orphan sister began to judge the case on the network platform, the former fan "jianghu", at first also felt that the orphan sister was full of justice, but later soon found that the lone sister's legal knowledge was weak, but liked to "rise to the church to solve the case, brain supplement plot, self-official announcement."
In fact, the people who were pickpocketed by her case were victims of social incidents, many of whom were ordinary women. She accused Li Meimei of "fornicating herself to be a great beauty every day"; accused B of "showing off her wealth and creating a white rich beauty"; accused C of "self-confidence, star chasing, vanity, Versailles"...
Lone sister hates this kind of restless and self-guarding ordinary women, she hates "vanity", disgusted with girls with superior family conditions, overconfidence, "through the screen, we seem to see a confident girl using the Weibo platform as a catwalk, multi-angle, multi-dimensional display of her appearance", said, she compared herself, "people who lack confidence in their appearance, for example, I myself, can't do this."

The lone sister does not hide her inferiority to external appearance conditions. Many years ago, the orphan sister who was ready to get married as soon as she graduated fell out of love, and she attributed the reason for the loss of love to her poor conditions and no material foundation.
In addition to being a "messenger of justice", Gu Jie often forwards and watches other people's tearing and scolding battles, and selectively takes sides, "recently the drama is deserted, waiting to eat melon", the more extreme emotions, the more can attract attention, Gu Jie knows, so that you can pull popularity for yourself.
Gu Jie's comments are often refuted or even attacked by many people, but Gu Jie will never easily change her views, but chooses to repeatedly argue with netizens. When some netizens are successfully persuaded or the other party is dumbfounded, The orphan sister can always gain an incomparably strong sense of achievement and pride, and also attach a large number of people's attention.
Because of this, Gu Jie also has a group of die-hard fans. Fans feel that the lone sister "three views are very positive", one of the die-hard fans frankly said that sometimes "the mood is not good to see what is not cool", see the lone sister under the people talking, they can't help but scold together, sometimes also "chase" to other people's Weibo bottom to continue to argue. "To be honest, arguing and cursing is really useful for releasing pressure, but it is not easy to find someone who can quarrel."
Gu Jie often mentions "friends" from all walks of life in Weibo, who are either her fans or netizens. She attaches great importance to them: "Friends are not how many people you know, but how many people know you and help you when you encounter difficulties." ”
These netizens also made her feel that she was not alone.
In reality, the lone sister has her own troubles. She longs for marriage and love, but she has been single. For 20 years, she has been mixed with various dating websites, and once encountered false information fraud from marriage agencies. With the repeated passages of time, now 43 years old, she has also become a "big mother" that she often spits on.

She recently retweeted a video of a 24-year-old programmer in Beijing taking warm care of his girlfriend. "After reading it, my heart skimmed a little touch." She wrote.
It was one of the few touching moments of her life.
Blowing up trumpets, lawsuits, and human flesh
Recently, the orphan sister has been in trouble. A girl who was pickpocketed by her took the orphan sister to court. Sister Gu said that there was another court leaflet that violated the right to reputation, which was on the way.
This court leaflet comes from the "customs clearance" set up by her pickpocket last year. In 2020, the orphan sister pulled out of guanguan to "show off her wealth and create white rich and beautiful people", but in 2019, Guan guan applied for a water drop chip for her mother who was diagnosed with cervical cancer.
Gu Jie felt the need to expose her, "she is a joke in our eyes."
Thus began a protracted war of mutual swearing. After being attacked, Guan Guan established the topic of pickpocketing gujie on Weibo, and attracted a large number of netizens who had been angered by gujie. Soon, The orphan sister's personal information was exposed.

Guan Guan and her companions finally saw the true face of Gu Jie's Lushan in a recent lawsuit, and took a screenshot of Gu Jie's face to create wantonly. After Guan Guan was attacked, he chose to use double malice to humiliate the orphan sister in appearance, stature, and age, and attacked her for "not being able to marry out".
In this war of insults, the truth has long been blurred. However, in the mutual spraying, more and more people are watching, and from time to time, netizens join this battle, and the group of both sides is getting stronger and stronger.
Under the excavation of Guan Guan and his friends, The Orphan Sister was burst out of dozens of different trumpets. She denounced others in a gentle way in the trumpet, but used the trumpet to explode and insult others.

On the Web, most of the trolls that release malicious intent often have a separate trumpet. They hide in a blank account and spew malice at anyone they don't like, without taking any risk. Trolls are often reported and blown up, but when they are blown up, they open another one.
Although many websites have opened real-name system means such as mobile phone number verification, as long as the subjective initiative is strong enough, there are more channels for purchasing trumpets online.
Gu Jie often calls on her fans to "blow up" other people's numbers (let fans report each other's numbers until the other party is finally officially banned), and her own number is frequently bombed.
Up to now, this year's lone sister has suffered two lawsuits. In the face of overwhelming regurgitation, Gu Jie is very calm, and she has no regrets, she feels that "they take my basic information to make up stories, but my fans believe in me", the affirmation of the followers, giving Gu Jie strength.
Following the abuser, is this the right way on earth?
She rarely shows vulnerability, but the strength of "justice" is sometimes not enough to support the orphan sister, and she never mentions it to others: she is quietly seeing a psychologist.
In the face of the enemy, or in the face of what she considers hypocrisy, she showed no weakness: "If I retreat, they will succeed." ”
