Trollface
📖 Origin Story
Drawn by Carlos Ramirez in Microsoft Paint in 2008 and posted to DeviantArt. The smug, grinning face became the universal symbol of internet trolling and problem-causing. It spread across 4chan, Reddit, and YouTube comment sections for years afterward.
🕰️ Era: mid-2000s
YouTube launched, broadband spread, and memes started moving faster. This era gave us some of the most remixed and referenced content in internet history.
