How To Troll Online Slacktivists

The enemy have just launched their missiles against us! Private, implement emergency response protocols immediately! Already done sir! I have set up a protest group on facebook and created a support hashtag on twitter! And next week, we will be blacking out the website and also our avatars. AGENT-X COMICS WwW.AGENT-X.COM.AU


The Facebook cartoon profile picture fad did more to raise awareness of how prevalent slacktivism is than it did to prevent child abuse. It seems like if a meme makes people feel good about themselves, without actually having to do anything of substance, it will spread.

Why anyone would think that an empty gesture like changing your profile picture could do anything meaningful about a serious issue like child abuse is mind boggling, but thankfully there is no shortage of trolls on the Internet to make fun of this. Here are 5 of the best trolling attempts on this absurd fad:

3. Ahh! Pedophiles!

IF YOU HAVE A CARTOON AS YOUR PROFILE PICTURE, REMOVE IT. A group of pedophiles made it up. They're doing it because kids will accept their friend requests faster if they see a cartoon picture. It has nothing to do with supporting child violence. It was on a TV show that warns you about internet frauds, plus tonight's news.
