I saw a few headlines recently that a YouTuber (Mikayla Raines) who saved foxes committed suicide because of cyberbullying. I never watched her channel, but it got me thinking, what is it about anonymity that brings out this evil in people?
Is this evil just always there, and the web provides an outlet to be horrible without consequences?
Is it perhaps actually a minority phenomenon, but when you have a few million subs, just on pure statistics, you will get a vocal group of , basically, insane people?
Mike Tyson apparently once said that "Social media made y’all way too comfortable with disrespecting people and not getting punched in the face for it."
And I 100% get this. I try to conduct myself online the way I do irl, but I don't know, more and more these days I am just not bullish on the human race in general!
What do you stackers think?
