Cyberbullying

I am so sick of cyberbullying. Not related to this site but on a site called tengaged i mean people on there have no filter they call each other animals, cunts, faggots, saying i hope you get stabbed or raped. I mean it just disgusts me and i know your all going to say welcome to thw internet where its a open forum beu seriosly does no one have self control. I know ive lost my temper and probably said things ive probably shouldnt have but sometimes people go to far.

You see the thing I don't get with this kind of cyber "bullying" is why people give a shit in the least.
If you have shit happen like with Amanda Todd I can understand the damage, but if some random dude on the Internet calls you cunt how can you give a shit?
It's like bullying IRL these days, kids just call each other bad words and one party goes home crying. For a desensitized society we sure are a bunch of whiny faggots.

@SW-User The bar certainly has been lowered a bit, even since when I went to school.

Bullying then (This is only like 10 years ago-ish) was when people still went around kicking the shit out of eachother...now insults are the only things thrown around...most of them aren't even good insults, just uninspired.

@SW-User so if you had a kid and someone called them faggot on the internet you would tell them get over it stop being whiny.
SW-User
@Fangirlsarah1996 Exactly. Now I'm not saying words can't hurt, but they're not even "personalized" anymore. All there is are some bullshit slurs. And everyone is holding said slurs in such high regard that kids take that shit serious.

@SW-User Agreed, when insults were thrown when I was in school they went through the effort of making it hurt...now it's the equivalent of saying "You suck" admittedly with more colourful language.
SW-User
@TheSettingSunIsCrying I'd tell him or her that words have exactly as much power as you want them to have. This whole "taboo" word thing is among the dumbest things I have witnessed in my life, because

A) Most times it doesn't even apply to the person it was directed at
B) It's just a fucking word

I rest my case.

@SW-User You dont get it its more then just the word.
SW-User
@TheSettingSunIsCrying It's the malevolent intent? How malevolent can it be when a stranger on the INTERNET!!!! tells you to kill yourself?
It means absolutely nothing. They don't know you, they just feel strong because there is no consequence. This sounds hard, but all you gotta do is stop giving a shit about that. The Internet is a cesspool of little cunts that talk big when there's nothing to lose. Just gotta roll with it and throw it back, or ignore it outright and move on.

@SW-User coming from a man calling our society desensitized faggots. That word disgusts me no matter where its said or who says it its gonna illicit a reaction to me. It might not to you because you havent gone through that. But to other people it does
SW-User
@TheSettingSunIsCrying I wager to say I have gone through a lot physical and mental bullying, and I know what it can do to people having witnessed it on myself and people close to me. But what I can't understand is how people can take any sort of insult on the Internet seriously. It's just beyond me.
Our society is watching literal death and destruction in the morning news, on the Internet and probably everywhere else where there is power, and we just don't give a shit. We MAAAAAYBE spit out a little "that's so horrible" every now and then, but we don't give a shit. We do however start fucking protests when someone says nigger.
Do you see where I'm coming from?
TheSettingSunIsCrying · 26-30, M
@SW-User yes but do you see what im saying. You cant exoext to say those words and not get a reaction
SW-User
@TheSettingSunIsCrying Affirmative. All I can tell you is to ignore it.
TheSettingSunIsCrying · 26-30, M
@SW-User no im not going to ignore it im not that type of person. I mean calling society whiny faggots is just wrong.
SW-User
@TheSettingSunIsCrying But it's true. It's a shitty time, and the whole SJW thing makes it worse, but denying that it's true and hoping that the bad people won't use bad words is not the best way to go ahead.
TheSettingSunIsCrying · 26-30, M
@SW-User i think that word is just disgusting and would never allow someone who talked like that into my house.
SW-User
@TheSettingSunIsCrying But it's just a word. It's like saying guns kill. Guns can't kill, they need someone to operate them. Words don't hurt, they need someone to MAKE them hurt. You give the words power, not the person using them. I've been called everything from dumb to unworthy of existence and I just can't be bothered to give a shit about that. Just a bunch of letters.

@SW-User it may be to you but for everyone
