If it seems like it's obvious someone is portraying a persona that's provocatively controversial
Some people you can tell are two dimensional about it; they write their post, people are outraged, and they slap the troll face meme on it and call it done
Others, though, can do it for the enjoyment of those paying attention, where they're not really looking for the people to shame them but rather people who see the bigger picture. Like someone's pretending to be a sitcom director or something
I think I like that last paragraph but I am not sure if I get what you mean. Do you mean people who are writing to create a situation and observe how people behave in response, or people who are writing to emulate a certain kind of person, in order to draw the reader's attention to an issue that lies at the heart of that figure's concerns?
Yes, the latter. I can't really put it into words because the markers are there for lying and deception, which are bad, but there's something about the way some people do it that makes it good

Like this scene here, she just showed Sansa she can lie to her and she'll never know but it's still making her laugh
Like some people will troll as like an asshole I've seen and just play up the whole "I've already formed my opinions, everybody else is wrong" shtick and it's funny. Like it's not that actual person making the post, it's someone making fun of the mentality it takes to be that much of an ass
What makes people auto assume that a post is a troll post?
