was forced to watch. She was then going to castrate Burton and place his penis along with Taylor’s eyes into a bottle that she would then mail on to Elizabeth Taylor’s ex-husband.
Tom Jones was also to have the Atkins treatment done on him. ‘Sadie Mae’ would at knife point force Jones into having sex with her and at the moment of his climax she would slit his throat. Frank Sinatra was to be hung upside down in his own house by Atkins and other members of Manson’s gang and then skinned alive, with purses being made from his skin that Atkins wanted to then sell to hippy shops.
Now, there can be absolutely no doubt at all that Susan Atkins truly believed in the conscious part of her unspeakably dysfunctional mind that what she was planning to do - and that what she had already been involved in doing to Sharon Tate and others - was for some sort of higher purpose (she believed Charlie to be none other than Jesus Christ come back), but it is also blatantly obvious that it all was at its core just an excuse for her to let her subhuman side run away with itself and live out its gruesome fantasies. Just as Charlie Manson could only give the lost and hopeless creations that came to him an illusion of a higher mission to go along with their already existing depravities, and Fred Phelps can only give the pathetic (mostly familial) adherents to his cult perverse moral justifications for their own sadism, the RIP trolling subculture only offers some sort of equally insane and equally false excuses for already crazed and evil individuals. The concept of ‘Helter Skelter’ as a reason to skin Frank Sinatra alive is no saner to my eyes than the concept of teaching some poor deceased kids right from wrong by torturing their families about their deaths. Yet just as there is no doubt at all that while the Manson Family did believe their own insane reasons as to why their psychotic behaviour was justified, there can too be little doubt that a great many of those trolls who claim moral justifications for their own demented and psychotic Internet behaviours do actually believe them - even when they are really just using them to indulge their evil urges. The fact that they actually expect people to accept that there are real ethical reasons as to why they are sending some poor set of parents’ pictures of their bloodied daughter lying dead shows how far gone into the blackest pit of madness which they have went.
Of course, many trolls just outright state that they do it ‘for the lulz’ and for the lulz only. No social or moral pretensions there. Lulz, if you didn’t know, is LOLing at others misfortunes, or even adding to them - a more extreme and interactive form of schadenfreude. ‘I done it for the lulz,’ is a popular meme on 4Chan and beyond.
By 2007, RIP trolling on /b/ was really coming along. A read through the pages of Encyclopedia Dramatica, a wiki site (that is an online user-generated encyclopaedia) dedicated to collecting 4Chan lore, shows a wide range of dead youngsters of all ages who in that year became - or rather their families and friends became - the target of spite from the trolls at /b/. If 2006 was the genesis of mass RIP trolling on the Web, then 2007 was the year when it truly became established as its own Internet subculture, with trolling raids by 4Chan on online memorial pages becoming commonplace. It has only grown and spread since then. RIP trolling itself has become a 4Chan-inspired meme.
When in 2006 I first came across Sean Duffy, or ‘Truth’ as he was known only to me then, he was trying to shock users on various forums and on Youtube by writing sick comments about children who had died in circumstances that had been widely covered for years by media in Britain, such as the 1996 Dunblane gun massacre in Scotland of 16 primary schoolchildren and their teacher; or about Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman, two 10-year-old English girls murdered by a paedophile school
