Why do people still fall for this?

So some troll/fan of third group/jealous hater/Kpop in general hater posts something like:

"Group A is much better than group B".

Cue, people from group A starting to insult group B and the other way around. Happens mostly on Twitter but here as well.

Don't people realize they are a little bit manipulated?

This is not aimed at a specific fandom, (happens in my own fandom as well), but instead of laughing at OP/insulting OP/ignoring OP or best of all: blocking OP, they all do right what OP wants, rewarding OP and encouraging even more of this behavior.

Simple; a lot of people can't just let go of others' opinions. When they have the freedom to push back against an opinion they disagree with in an anonymous setting with no consequences for it, more often than not they will.

Good point.

Thing is, they are rewarding a hateful OP by doing what they want.

If everyone ignores it, it becomes boring for the troll/hater, but because they give them what they want, they keep doing it

True. Some folks have a bone to pick with a specific group and will say anything, so when a known troll puts up a bait post, they use that opportunity to go ham and shade whatever group they wanna shade lol. It's mostly prevalent on Pannchoa (i swear some of the users that used to post here are on that site, the posters there use the exact same talking points lol).

From what I've seen of Pannchoa, it's one of the worst trash things on the internet.
