The Troll

Product Information

But while empathy can be dredged for the foulest behaviour, Gorman doesn’t forget that her subjects have targeted some of the most vulnerable people on the internet. “We can’t have marginalised voices driven out of these spaces,” she says. “If you’re going to be really idealistic about it, the reason that people like Vint Cerf created the internet was so we would all have access to information and we could all use our voices. I don’t think I can leave this [subject] behind until there’s a monumental societal shift to make it fairer and less terrifying.” Ahead of the press cycle for her book, she started a course of specialised therapy, referred by the DART centre for trauma in journalism. Trolls have been a major part of her life for nine years, yet writing Troll Hunting was “like being skinned alive”. It’s moved her to commission a tattoo – her first – of a complex design of lines down her side. “I feel so marked by the book that I need a sign on my body,” she says.

Smaller trolls are attested as living in burial mounds and in mountains in Scandinavian folk tradition. [12] In Denmark, these creatures are recorded as troldfolk ("troll-folk"), bjergtrolde ("mountain-trolls"), or bjergfolk ("mountain-folk") and in Norway also as trollfolk [13] ("troll-folk") and tusser. [12] Trolls may be described as small, human-like beings or as tall as men depending on the region of origin of the story. [14] Old Norse: Troll kalla mik trungl sjǫtrungnis, auðsug jǫtuns, élsólar bǫl, vilsinn vǫlu, vǫrð nafjarðar, hvélsveg himins – hvat's troll nema þat? [3]

One, “meepsheep”, put to her that white men are seen as so privileged that they don’t need help. Yet as Gorman has observed, many trolls experience mental health and substance-use problems. “That was quite confronting for me,” she says. “As journalists we need to examine our own beliefs and take them apart in the context of what we’re writing about, not just like spit stuff out hook, line and sinker.” Lindow, John (1978).

In her book, Gorman covers off the online experiences of commentators Catherine Deveny and Guardian Australia’s Van Badham, but she says some feminists were unimpressed that she was amplifying trolls. “They said, ‘All they want is power. Why are you engaging with them?’ I found that incredible. I’m engaging with them because I want to know what they want. I don’t condone what they do, but you have to ask the question: ‘Why are they doing this?’”Troll [20] is the name, and main antagonist, of a 2022 Norwegian movie released by Netflix on December 1, 2022.
