A stoic isn't always in control of every single emotion. It simply recognizes being stirred up by misfortune as a weakness. But nobody is without weakness, being unshakable like that is something only a "sage" is capable of, which stoicism considers as a unobtainable goal, you can strive for it but you can never reach it.

Mocking people like that is really not cool man.
That's about immediate, visceral reactions. By the time someone reads a post and finishes typing out a response, they're far past that.
In all honesty anyone who's genuinely trying to be stoic wouldn't be on here talking about this shit in the first place.
