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 don't think I'm that different offline. I talk the same way and react the same way...I don't know; I'll ask the people that I know offline that come on here and get their opinions, haha.

That would kick people who are different into gear. Once someone you know offline comes on here, you can't act different. They'll know.
