PETA’s new musical tackles online trolls and Martial Law

In today’s digital age, social media has fed a trend that has grown in leaps and bounds—trolling. Both the noun and the verb “troll” is now associated with Internet discourse and equated with the act of online harassment.

Trolling is thus used as a powerful tool in this day and age to divide people on important issues, one of which is Martial Law. Trolls in favor of this means of governance, which victimized many Filipinos on its declaration four decades ago on September 21, will defend and trivialize its effects.
