The internet is too soft nowadays

I genuinely feel like people nowadays take shit on the internet too personally. People genuinely stop being friends with others because they wont reply to their texts, or because they don't like their stories.

It's like the internet has just become this weird social place where you genuinely can't make a mistake or there's like a 60 page google document made about you.

So many people are insanely chronically online nowadays and it literally shows. They get so mad over unimportant things and they act like every little hate comment is someone trying to kill them.

Please for the love of god guys start growing some balls, If you genuinely don't like what you see online block the person instead of whining about it for everyone to see.

Lwk the block button is such an underrated feature people need to learn to use more, and also people need to learn how to avoid stressfull situations, if I see a video about something vaguely controversial I'm skipping the comments or sometimes the video as a whole, like yeah there's a bunch of weird people online and our single tiktok reply won't change their heart, they're not the girl from scream that magically turns good after a "Omg stop being evil!"

And yes we do need to call out people that deserve it for sure! But I fear the way everyone be making drama and documents about the most uninteresting and non-issue  thing ever really doesn't help people who actually have something relevant to say, like no idc about this random person doing something bad once in 2020 that they very fast apologized to and grown to be a better person (Referencing TankFish situation doing surely bad stuff but was for some reason revived years later because...?)

I do agree, I think this problem was huge on Twitter then TikTok.


Twitter was a massive toxic cesspool.

I thought with Elon Musk's Buyout on Twitter and his awful Rebranding of it is gonna kill Twitter.

But knowing it's still around and still going strong baffles me.

And knowing people still use it surprises me.


TikTok is also as bad as Twitter.

With US Government Political Attack on TikTok, I thought it's gonna kill TikTok but then it survived it and it's still around.

100%. If you have a different opinion, especially if its something touchy like politics or somesuch, some people react as if you shot their grandmother. No wonder everything is so fake and gay now



I feel like people just wanna change others their opinions online.
In your eyes it might seem like they are wrong and you need to tell them whats right, in their eyes you're wrong. It's an endless loop of just pathetic arguments where people get butthurt easily and whine about it publicly later

This type of people, ill call them wrongpinioners - they can't live in a space where others don't agree with them. I think it has something to do with social domination. I had a close friend of mine end our friendship just because of a disagreement on a totally unimportant chronically online bs that was not even relevant to our life IRL

Anyways its better to be yourself than to let the chronically online constrain you with their neurotic need to make you conform

Honestly I kind of disagree. I'd say the internet's only gotten crueler with age. Although maybe that cruelty is a direct result of being too soft? Like something akin to a kneejerk reaction.

But then again the old internet had shit like #Cut4Bieber, so maybe we were always this way and the last few years have only just opened our eyes.



Yeah I feel like the internet is really just split in two, more people are being cruel because they know they're safe behind their little screen, but so many people also stopped knowing not to take things online to heart. 

I feel like this all just started evolving so much after 2020.

Especially with how many kids are online nowadays. You genuinely just have to scroll trough snapchat spotlights for 5 minutes and you'll see 6 different ranters whining about someone hating on them. 

And while it's lovely to have communities online to chat with and to share your interest with, I feel like way too many of those communities nowadays are just so soft. Like therians will genuinely get so mad and take hate super personally which only makes them a bigger target.
