Someone Please Help Me Now! [Cyber Bullies]

[TimeToRP]

I am really really sad for some reason. And when I get told I can't Roleplay or anything, my heart breaks and tears into pieces.
Someone please help, getting cyber bullied on other sites, how does it stop?

[Revans Exile]

how does it stop?

@TimeToRP

If you are being cyberbullied on site XYZ then stop going to site XYZ. It is that simple, it is sheer stupidity to do anything else.

You are 100% responsible for being a victim of cyberbullying. If you don't want to be a victim then have the intelligence to not expose yourself to it.

[Keyguyperson]

So basically @Revans Exile said.

[Vilageidiotx]

Are you getting cyber bullied, or are people just being mean? Those two are not the same thing.

Like, if they found your facebook and filled it full of dick-pics, sure. But if they told you to fuck off... well, that's not bullying really.

@TimeToRP

It depends on the context. Being told you can't RP isn't really bullying.@Vilageidiotx hit the nail on the head, it's just being mean.

Bullying behaviour can be:

verbal eg name calling, teasing, abuse, putdowns, sarcasm, insults, threats
physical eg hitting, punching, kicking, scratching, tripping, spitting
social eg ignoring, excluding, ostracising, alienating, making inappropriate gestures
psychological eg spreading rumours, dirty looks, hiding or damaging possessions, malicious SMS and email messages, inappropriate use of camera phones.

Conflict or fights between equals and single incidents are not defined as bullying. Bullying behaviour is not:

children not getting along well
a situation of mutual conflict
single episodes of nastiness or random acts of aggression or intimidation.

No people cuss at me and stuff. Not on this site, ROBLOX and all those other sites, one time I was roleplaying on Twitch and I thought my friend was roleplaying with me, HE CUSSED ME OUT.

[ArenaSnow]

Your friend cussed you out?

Sounds like you need to dump that particular friend.

[Vilageidiotx]

Or learn to out-cuss people.

[Keyguyperson]

@Vilageidiotx

This solves most problems.

@ArenaSnow

I speak from experience when it comes to ditching friends. Had some people back stab me and accuse me of some pretty nasty shit that I never said, so I cut ties with them and moved on. Been happy ever since.

There will always be other people out there that are better friends. Friends aren't always forever unless they are special cases.

@TimeToRP

This is the internet, friend. "Cussing out" is actually relatively light, to what some people on here are capable of.

In fact, it's pretty much not even notable, compared to what some people on here are capable of.

I don't think running is the answer though; that is an admission of defeat. Whoever advocates backing down, probably hasn't grasped the concept of human nature.

I find humoring people like that is the best way... show them that their words really are just digital text on a digital page.

"HEY TIMETORP YOU FUCKING G*Y MOTHER FUCKING N****R F*****T GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY RP!!!!! >:("

"Wow buddy, is this because I fucked your mum?"

"FUCK YOU YOU FUCKING C**T NO ONE FUCKING LIKES YOU WHY DONT YOU LEAVE"

"I could, but I'd rather join your CAPS PARTY, EVERYBODY NOW, CAPS, CAPS, CAPS, CAPS, CAPPING ALIVE, CAPPING ALIVE, CAPS, CAPS..."

So on, so forth. Don't run. Don't encourage and entrench their behavior. Just stand firm, but not in a confrontational way. Be indifferent, understand that you have the same protection as they pretty much: you're both behind a screen, probably miles away from each other, and everything is inconsequential. Just don't start using racist terms in some kind of counter attack, or you'll lose street cred // invite community-wide condemnation. I've seen that happen a few times. Best to keep the language moderate, and just shoot them with fluff.

Try not to apply offline socializing practices to those online, it doesn't work.

You need any more pointers, come find me, I'm usually bumbling around here once a day.

Trolls and Griefers are an intrinsic part of the internet now. Don't be intent on matching them wit for wit. Because there is none. There is no real accountability on the internet for the most part, and unless you happen to be a prolific hacker it is unlikely that you will ever be able to sufficiently humble people in their hubris. Rather, take this moment to reflect on your own reactions to these nay sayers and crap slingers, and then ask yourself, "Should I care enough to react negatively?". Apathy and indifference can be great shields in the face of scathing barbarity and crude language.

If something upsets you, don't reply back immediately in the heat of impassioned defensiveness. Rather wait for your reasoning and good senses to catch up with the transparent attempt puncturing your dignity, and then sweep away their crass comments with either well placed replies or just leave them to their own devices. They don't really win anything from you withdrawing even if they think they've earned some sort of imagined and childish victory.

Remember that you never wrestle with pigs. You get dirty and they enjoy it.

@Thang

It's not all roses and cheesy cauliflower outside your bedroom door neither. People are people, just gotta figure out what you are about and hold to that.
