Anon Hate? a touchy subject. The Ancient One Speaks.
It has always been a touchy subject; pointless I might add and outright HORRID for a person to receive. Yet, people still, for whatever reason feel obliged to do such a thing; to bring a person down for either their viewpoints, opinions, what they do on THEIR blog etc.
Now, I am utterly sorry if this offends anyone but like they always say Truth Hurts. We are ALL NERDS let’s face it… in one way or another each and EVERY one of us is a nerd that is sat at a computer screen. We are NO DIFFERENT to the others we type to in this way. Yes, we may not share Religion, race, political views or anything of that matter, but that my friends is what is known as D I V E R S I T Y! The only common point we have with others is that we share a love for Roleplaying; for a certain fandom(s).
EVERYONE has their OWN way about going through life within Roleplay — some of us like to ensure all replies are done as soon as they land in our activity; others, they like to draft their replies until such a time when they have muse and are free enough to respond and queue out replies to space them out, so not as to overwhelm our partners. What WE do is up to US! IT SHOULD NOT MATTER TO ANYONE ELSE! Don’t hate on a person for selectivity with threads OR followers ( we all know our muses are in control and can be right shits at times when it comes to replying. )
Before you even CONSIDER sending another person hate, STOP!
THINK about what you are doing. THINK about the words you are typing; such HORRID words. THINK how this could potentially affect the one receiving them. Would YOU like to receive the words you are about to send to the other? NO! DO. NOT. DO. IT!
Ever thought that the person’s mental state is FAR from ready for such words? Probably not because you’re too hell-bent on being the KEYBOARD WARRIOR EXTRAORDINAIRE!
Just ONE hateful anon can possibly be enough for another blogger to end their life. It is a horrid concept to grasp, but it is also one that is true.
ANON HATE IS CYBERBULLYING!
Did you know that 52% of young people report being cyber-bullied? That’s just over HALF of young people today; a shocking statistic really!
Most of these victims are also usually victim to physical bullying within their school lives etc.
YOUR ANON HATE IS ONLY ADDING TO THIS!!
Teens who were bullied were 2.5 times as likely to attempt suicide. That likelihood was further increased in teens who were cyberbullied. “This might be because with cyberbulling, victims may feel they’ve been denigrated in front of a wider audience,” said study leader Mitch van Geel. ( x )
Honestly, there is no need for this hatred. It is petulant; childish and most of all A COWARDLY ACT. There is no need for one to hate on another over something so little as roleplay. Most of us don’t even know what the other is like as a person because we don’t interact with them physically every day or at all! Don’t go about Judging. NO ONE has given you the right to play GOD; be Judge, Jury and Prosecution. And if the victim killed themselves, who would we lay that finger of blame upon? As someone who’s done many levels of forensic study; I can tell you I know one of the first places I’d come and look.
If you would not like such words in your own askbox —- DON’T SEND THEM TO ANOTHER!
