Just wondering as there are some people toxic either online or itl, but are the people online just as toxic as they are online or are they a different person irl?
Hopefully this post makes some sense.

Yes. Some people are just assholes and don’t care what they say or do. Online anonymity let’s people who are too afraid of consequences (in real life) be assholes too.
Online anonymity also let’s people forget that the people they’re being assholes too have real feelings. It’s not just retaliation that stops them. Most of us really don’t want to hurt someone, but some need a reminder that online folks are just as real.
A similar phenomenon happens with road rage
