a lot of this behavior is genuinely covid-born lack of proper in-person socialization. like, genuinely. impressionable teens spending time on the wrong side of the internet and not enough time around people where they could see first-hand the consequences of their actions. these people only ever act like this online because they think they're being cool and edgy. to some degree i can understand it, because there is the same phenomenon on the other side of the chronically online spectrum where people see things in black/white with little nuance, so they're quick to label others as good/bad without taking time to understand their situation or that people in general are imperfect and prone to mistakes. it kind of makes two equally as irritating sides of the spectrum. but then you close your laptop and these people do not exist because again, they will never be like this IRL. they're almost always meek and non-confrontational. i could also go on and on about the general rise in conservatism and purity-culture online which is also definitely not helping with these wannabe alt-right edgelord teens but honestly that's a whole other can of worms. it's really unfortunate because they are such a loud minority but honestly, just blocking people and not giving them attention is the quickest way to get them to shut up. if they don't get a reaction they don't see a point in saying anything. it's all for ragebait and internet brownie points. |
