Dark humor and trolling are a false equivalence; while both are symptoms of coping mechanisms, dark humor alone doesn't inflict damage. Trolling does, by actively wasting the attention of other people. That's it. There is nothing romantic about it.

Anyone who doesn't value the attention of their fellow humans is either underdeveloped or evil.
