Topic: What compels people to hate on other people anonymously?
Anonymous A started this discussion 15 years ago#3,612
Especially people who don't deserve it. A close friend of mine got raped, and suddenly she gets anonymous people calling her a whore.
another friend recently had a miscarriage, and she gets called a whore and a killer. She gets repeated attacks from anonymous people telling her she deserves to die and shit like that.

The ability to attack someone without recourse. They have no idea who you are, where you are, or things you have done or been through. It just makes some people feel big.

Were they on the internet? Or was it random people in the streets?

internet people mostly, but it has happened before in the streets (and usually turns out worse). It breaks my heart people act like this...

Numerous sites which allow people to be anonymous. Not sites like 4chan or anything, though.
Actually, before I met one of them, she got NON-anonymous attacks on Facebook. She ended up deleting.

Internet culture=/=real life. I bet if it was irl, they wouldn't be mean.

But why do it online? I would never dream of doing that to someone.
Also, it does happen in real life.

Because there's no chance they'll get punched through a monitor.

@previous (The Editor !FuckWtfW8M)
but why say it to begin with? Why tell someone you've never spoken to they're a whore for getting raped and telling them they deserve to die a painful, torturous death?

I still don't get how somebody can be angry toward or hate somebody else on the Internet, since it's just emotionless text. Unless you're autistic or something

So what if it's the internet? I use my time to stop people from committing suicide, while these cunts use their time to make people commit suicide.

The people I stop are at the point where that can easily set them off. I've had plenty of people get pushed way towards it because they get so much hate from people. They get it enough at home or at school, and any more can easily push them toward it or at the very least push them to self-harm.
