A Side Effect of Testosterone Poisoning

Posted by kdawson on from the go-ahead-and-get-mad dept.

obtuse writes "With a finding that may explain Internet trolls — or at least building contractors — U. of Michigan researchers have discovered that individuals with high levels of testosterone find an angry face rewarding. In their experiments, this was true even if the angry image was perceived subliminally so that the subjects didn't register it consciously."

  1. Test. poisoning.. that word is your invention... by gd23ka · · Score: 1, Troll

    ...so what's your agenda?

    I suppose these are the kinds of "pc" speech code word games that are played
    around colleges where feminization of everything male is at the top of the
    curriculum. I suppose all you have to in a college setting is lump the words
    poison and testosterone together and maybe add a little rain forest defoliation
    and the still impressionable crowd of young desperates to blend in and be
    accepted will throttle each other to death to prove their sustainable lack
    of the hormone. Out here in the real world people easily have the balls (and
    thus the testosterone) to stand up to the likes of you!
