Energy drinks brand and anti-troll campaigner V Energy has launched an addition to its V-Hab anti-troll lab as a show of support for GQ magazine to combat enraged One Direction fans.

In the battle against the troll’s, V-Hab’s ‘anti-trolling browser extension’ – downloadable on Chrome or Safari – replaces abusive trolling language with positive, fluffy words like rainbow, unicorn and candyfloss.A V-Hab spokesperson said: “We love British GQ, but boy did those poor sould not know what they were getting themselves into!“Luckily for them, at V-Hab we’re all about countering trolls with a bit of positive energy so we’ve created humour and positivity into what has clearly been a rather large misunderstanding on all sides.”GQ said the website even crashed under the strain of the trolls after the mag used the strapline "He's up all night to get lucky" on the Harry Styles front cover.
