The Internet, is completely separate from real life Options

[Comptine]

You know how when cB sees drama, a lot of people like to butt in and say how pathetic it is that people get so worked up over the internet? Like, the eDrama/eAnger/eWhatever is stupid and people shouldn't be concerned about it cause it's online and not real life?

But, I always thought that didn't make sense because whether or not it's offline/online, people are still interacting with one another, talking about stuff, exchanging opinions/ideas. Also, some of the stuff can easily escalate (verbally) worse than IRL because people think the computer screen can protect them if they something truly nasty. And an insult/racist comment/jab is still an insult/racist comment/jab online as it's in real life.

I mean, if a random person you don't know walks up to you and insults you and then runs away before you can do anything about it, people can't just tell you to forget because you don't know the person, etc. Just like how you can't really do anything about online drama but it still affects you.

I'm bored, cB is kinda slow today.

I think it's.. stupid

It makes enough sense that yes, it's still interacting and being social with other human beings and conflict will always be there, but e-fighting just for the hell of it is just ridiculous.

If anyone said anything bad about me online, I couldn't care less.
It's just words on a screen.

Anyone can be a complete 100% different person online than what they really are in RL, so honestly things online don't affect me that much.
