Obvious troll is obvious, but he ain't wrong.
Combining multiple exposures to increase your dynamic range has been around since at least the 1850s (pic related; Gustave Le Gray's "The Great Wave". Back then, emulsions were way more sensitive to blue light, so it was impossible to get both the sky and the not-sky in one exposure). And yeah, burning and dodging during printing so that you can compress the higher range of a negative to fit onto the available range on photographic paper is basically the same thing.
But I think the thing that /p/ RAAAAAAGEs against is more the over-the-top HDR, wherein all shadows are eliminated and the whole photo looks like a magical unicorn barfed on a scanner, which is a more modern thing.
