A collective called ‘Zero Trollerance’ claims that it can cure sexist trolls by a six-step self help guide.The website for the campaign, with the tagline “With my help even you can become a decent human being,” is filled with tongue-in-cheek humour and even has testimonials like “Thanks to Zero Trollerance, I learned how to tweet like a feminist.” and "Day one: shock. Day two: feeling lost and alone. So angry! Day six: reborn, and full of love. Thank you, Zero Trollerance!"According to the campaign’s website, there are six steps to ‘become a decent human being’ as designed by ‘Guru’ Adler King1) Zero DenialThis step talks about how the sexist troll should eliminate his denial instinct. This comes with acceptance of the fact that you are a sexist bigot.2) Zero InternetThis step involves the troll to move away from his keyboard and turn off all his internet access and go back out to reality. It may sound like a hard thing, but there is a reward. When you return, you can tweet using #beautifulAFKmoment and share your experiences with others on the program.3) Zero AngerDid you know that the average adult human suffers around 20 frustrations on anyday?
