So you’re new to DCUM—fine.
But are you literally new to the internet?
You seem to be unaware that a “troll” is the term to describe someone who is posting a fake story to get a reaction from readers.
It wasn’t a personal attack on you OP. The person who called “troll” was simply stating they didn’t believe this was a real post or story.
You reacted by saying you didn’t expect that level of vitriol.
So people made fun of the fact that you thought being called a troll was some type of vitriolic response. It really isn’t.

I think you might need to step away from the internet.


I think OP did seem to be aware of what troll means and was offended that people thought she was lying. It was definitely an overreaction though

Anyone who says "beyond the pale" is going to be shocked by MANY things your GROWN daughter is doing, has done or will do

I just can’t understand why someone would get a tattoo of a hippo! I’ll admit it’s well-done but this is just disappointing. I’ve always said, ever since she was a little girl, that tattoos are a bad idea. She said that “she wanted to do it for a long time” and “it has nothing to do with me” but I somehow doubt that. I just am SO disappointed. Ugh. What’s a mom to do?


You need some real world problems, Lady

So why are you, HER MOTHER, piling on with yet more body shaming? How about celebrating her choices? Keep your opinions to yourself, your daughter obviously knows them and decided to go a different way. If she's happy, you should be happy for her.


OP sounds horrible but not liking someone’s tattoo isn’t really body shaming

Posting about your disappointment about your dcs tattoo on a toxic website may not be body shaming, but it is something....


DP. The OP said that she’s fairly new here.
