Comment on Can people irl be as mean as some people online?

Yes, people who have completely shaped themselves based on the internet (zoomers)
I think tha’s what made early internet nice and new internet bad - early internet is people who are used to politeness and being normal using the internet as a tool ot be more sociable, new internet is people with fried dopamine receptors who are used to porn, gore and bullying and get points for saying shocking things.

Nope. There have always been assholes, online and in real life. This is not a generational problem.

Yeah but i interpret the question as “is there anyone mean in the same way and to the same extent as online trolls/cyberbullies.”
There are people who replicate the methods of cyberbullying in real life. Guess that’s why gaslighting is such a popular term
