Yeah sure. Trolling = " with the intent of provoking others" - "thus acting as a bully or a provocateur"
Yep, I think "provocateur" was the intend, not necessarily (only) aimed at the AAstarion crowd. There have been requests for new Gale kisses for months and also in the comments of their previous posts for the patch, as he only had his little peck before. It's one of the most popular ships and most of the fan-content for it is more on the wholesome side, preferring the not ascended paths for both. So it's trolling all around.
