The internet is part of real life. Internet trolls are real people behind their screens, and they live somewhere. Maybe they live far away from you and near this artist.

I agree. There is an added layer of depersonalization, but it's still real life, just like driving in traffic. The same people who would be courteous in person could be cutting you off and being freely offensive on the road. The interactions are no less real, maybe even more real than some situations that prescribe some distancing, like a job interview or talking to a coworker, depending on how close you are.

If you're a digital artist, your domain is the internet. Your audience is the internet. Your medium is the internet. In that case, you'll write about the internet.

Maybe they also don't socialize because they never actually go out either. Just a bunch of asocials sitting in their respective moms basement trolling away.

Maybe the artist is a mum with a troll in her basement. Or maybe she has a shithead cousin who says this garbage at family reunions.
