Meet Toronto-based writer Katie Cunningham. She recently posted this joke on Twitter.
Following this tweet, a random follower of hers tweeted back to her, upon which, Katie delivered a master-class in trolling. This dude got OWNED.
Keep reading to find out how.
#3 This Is Brutal
This is what it culminated into. And dear Greg here has become a laughing stock for the entire internet.

Don't get it? I didn't either, so, give it another read! Yep, she's pretending to be dumb while smartly playing her game.
You'd think people would shut up after being trolled so bad, but this dude didn't stop at this. So you should keep reading too!
#2 The Backlash
The reactions Katie has been getting are mostly positive but Greg didn't take it so well. Read what he said in the picture below.
Katie proceeded to direct message him and it turns out he was being sarcastic. "He says he was playing along, and we had a pretty legit talk about the fact that sarcastic or ironic misogyny is inadvisable on a platform where you can't read tone."
There's a moral to this all.
#1 Moral Of The Story
"Apparently, he's been pretty shocked at the people defending him and criticizing me, which just proves my point: So many men @ me horrible, condescending stuff (this morning I got a DM that just said 'cancer') that there's no way to tell who is serious and who is 'joking,'" said Katie.
She's been a very good sport through all of this but she is making a very valid point - be very careful when being sarcastic online or in written communication. You don't want your message to be misinterpreted.
Now that we've all had our fun and learnt something, let's share and make our friends laugh, shall we?
