Seriously, what is with people in this generation?!
So my friend Tri-falls recently deleted all her accounts on tumblr because she just can’t deal with the people on this site anymore. I’ve known her for more than a year and a half and it seems that she has been cyberbullied over and over for her content. Whether its over her stylized bodies of her characters or over her character couples, she’s always getting hate for something utterly stupid, so she did a reasonable and got away from the hate. I didn’t realize she had deleted them at the time so I went back to the site and low and behold some SCUMBAG recreated her account just to make fun of her even more.
Now, I’m a reasonable person, I’m not going to cyberbully them, but still its fucking messed up. And what’s worse is that I know that this isn’t the first time something like this has happened.
It seems that nowadays everyone uses the computer as a shield to bully others. I’m sick and tired of this. PEOPLE HAVE DIED FROM THIS SORT OF THING....and people take it as a joke.
Now, I’m not saying that tri-falls has died, no she’s perfectly alive, pissed off, but alive, I’m talking about the other thousands, maybe even millions of users who have also been cyberbullied in this way, and how its affected them.
The old saying goes that “sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” Sorry to say, but that saying is, for the most part, false. Sure there are some people that can tune out hate, but there are many people who can’t, and that hurts them on a psychological level.
Some people can barely handle the stresses of everyday life, so they go online to escape from it, and when they get bombarded with hate online as well, that stress builds up even more. That’s how some people develop depression, and darker, even suicidal thoughts.
Honestly, how some people act online sometimes is baffling even stupid, but sometimes you just gotta remember that they’re just trying to get a reaction out of you, if they don’t stop, I think tri-falls is a good example of what to do, just walk away from it, there are many other places to use as an art or social media platform anyway.
With that out of the way, I’d like to ask people, to maybe consider reporting this “new” tri-falls and triforce-falls. DON’T ATTACK THEM. I know what they’re doing is terrible, but attacking them would just put you on their level, wouldn’t it?
I don’t like conflict, but if my friends are hurt by something, I’ll fight for them.
One last thing for everyone who likes to cyber bully others.
Just stop it already, you’re hurting people
