Something out of another world (10)

Lately the social networks have been filled with agression videos, mostly girls beating up other girls or doing nasty mean things to each other out of pure spite it seems.
Isn't it a bit sad that the newest generations are being brought up to deliver violence to others so promptly? Or maybe this has been going on for quite a while and we just lacked the social exposure to realize it sooner. Whatever it is, it makes me really mad.

Social media is ruining us as a society. We are encouraged to publically humiliate and bash people online, cyberbullying, disconnect from reality due to complete absorbtion into the cybercommunity, sheep more easily herded into radical groups like rad feminism and social justice.

Social media is here to stay and all the negativites that come with it. It's like we never really get to escape a highschool type environment unless of course you get off the computer. Which is hard to do with people devoid of a life (Don't mean that as an insult)

Around the time facebook came around is when things really started getting eh. The myspace days weren't too bad. But once tumblr came around...yikes.

This has always been going on. If your parents were in any way outgoing, you'd hear from them that people fought even more than we do and were a lot less pussy about it. Bullying was just as bad yet wasn't reprimanded as much as it is today. None of this is new. Don't act so shocked just because you saw it on social media.

>>3 I mean it's more prominant(or whatever) on the internet than it used to be. And is on a larger scale because the internet is accesible to everyone. Bullying was only one of my points though.

I'm not shocked either. I've just noticed the escalation happen specifically online when it used to be more tame

>>3 Also I had specific bullying methods in mind. Spreading pictures and videos on the internet where its almost impossible to contain the incident

>>4 That doesn't change how much it's been going on, and we previously didn't need social media for the exposure. You just knew. It was commonly talked about through the community in person. There's no less exposure than there was before, just more permanent evidence.

>>5 OP wasn't talking about that at all; you're off-topic.

7 Name: Akagami : 2014-08-21 12:24 ID:JIbqlBf/ [Del]

>>6 I guess so. I only meant to add on but I guess I did go off topic

8 Name: BarabiSama !!C8QPa1Mt : 2014-08-21 13:14 ID:o7YaVxEo [Del]

>>7 I don't mind threads getting off-topic; I was just trying to reply to the OP's points, not yours lol

9 Name: Akagami : 2014-08-21 15:08 ID:JIbqlBf/ [Del]

>>8 Damn my bad. I auto assume critiquing is done towards me. Haha sorry sorry.
