Why is life on the Internet so different from real life?

Whenever I go on websites such as this one, I encounter narrow-minded bigots of the sort practically unheard of in my city. Where are they coming from?

I sometimes think life on the internet is more real than real life... it's the unchained thoughts of some people who are often angry, fearful, and unable to get out of their own self-made misery. These same people are there in "real life", they just for the most part, hide it. Here they are free to be who they are.

@frequentlyme because they are behind a screen

Those people are called cowards! They feel comfortable being a certain kind of way behind a screen 💻 & keyboard ⌨️ & do things they wouldn’t do in their real lives

There are little to no consequences online.. in the real world, there are more consequences, such as getting your ass kicked for what you say....

@FrankietheFly You would be surprised...some must have constant stimulation of the other kind to feel they exist.

Funny thing about anonymity

It’s not too different. The people are the same, both nice and shitty. It’s just that people have a platform to express opinions that they wouldn’t otherwise.

Well you can say things here that you can’t in real life.

Morons can be their real selves on an electronic device.

When you're anonymous, you're less likely to feel accountable.

I don't know how they think(?) or why they do.
