I had this woman paint in my house recently and it was obvious she was not an actual professional and I had to ask her not to return to finish despite paying her in full for the job. She was obviously financially struggling and openly discussed some serious mental health issues with my wife and I, so despite her leaving all of her crap at my house and being pretty rude about the whole thing, i didnt even leave her a review online.

This does not make him a decent person, this makes him a selfish asshole that’s willing to burn down everything to save some feelings. Despite what you may believe, facts are always more important than feelings- it’s what you do with these facts that determine whether or not you are a ‘decent human being’.

[@xCiari]

When I was sixteen years old, I had my full name and address doxxed to thousands of people over a misunderstanding in a videogame. This led to me (and subsequently my immediate family) being swatted more than seven times over the course of eight or nine months. We had to move house and open a police investigation. I still have nightmares and frequent panic attacks at the age of twenty because of the situation. I had to spend years in therapy because of it. These things have real, legitimate, awful effects on people. Normalizing it in any way is horrifying and I would not wish this experience on anyone.

[@thedreamer215]

I'm glad you and your family are safe now and didn't get physically injured in any way.

At one point they told me, "Well the number that called us was your number!" so I spent weeks terrified that the perpetrators had gotten a hold of my phone number. It took me ages to realize that the police didn't even know what my number was -- they were just trying to get me to slip up and "confess" to swatting myself.

Very true. I don’t use much social media, and the social media I do use, I mostly lurk and comment here and there, I don’t post. The less you post on social media, the better off you’ll be. Lurking and occasionally commenting is the best approach, in my opinion. Minimal drama, less chance of screwing up and getting reamed by internet strangers…most you have to deal with is arguments.

[@ZBarl]

The thing is... holding someone accountable is important, but sometimes the internet treats abusing children and supporting na*ism, overcharging and being unprofessional, and just being cringe as if they were all the same. Like, yes, if someone is se*ually abusing kids on Tik Tok and you find out where they live and call the police, that's completely fair and logical reaction. But if someone just made a cringey song and you find their address and go harassing them... But too many people for some reason don't get the difference

This is something you learn in any basic social psychology course: that people are rarely representative of how they act in one situation. to punish them to such an extreme is genuinely terrifying and promotes this ideology that people aren't allowed to grow. We have to be born perfect and always be perfect until we die or else we could potentially be doxed. It just creates this toxic and harmful environment where if you aren't perfect, you somehow deserve these consequences.

[@behindbigm]

The Gabification of you

[@jessical4866]

Someone online described fandom's purity culture problem as consuming media being the only way we can express ourselves, and so what kind of media you consume inevitably becomes a moral issue. Harassing someone who's "stupid" automatically makes you "smart". Doxxing someone who's "bad" is a shorthand way of saying you're "good". Humiliating someone who's "cringe" obviously puts you on the side of being "cool". By interacting with the internet, we are all trying to make a statement about the kind of people that we are, which is a lofty goal when nothing ever dies on the internet but we as people change every day.

[@kj.4977]

Fascinating!

[@geministrial950]

Yeah this checks out. It also explains the people who go above and beyond to do "justice". When your life is devoid of any real conflict, fighting the "bad, evil internet person" makes you go on a whole power trip.

[@daa5865]

I've brought up this point for a lot of things, and it fits here too. Not only tik tok but social media in general probably, is making it so so easy to dehumanize other people. Not respecting their boundaries, privacy and rights to exist, laughing all the while because this person's life being possibly ruined doesn't affect them and they'll forget about it after the hype dies down while the affected person might need years to recover. It can go as far as getting those people hurt or even them dying one way or another due to that. Exactly how you described : "realize that those people aren't tik tok caricatures"

[@jeizdolok]

I learned my lesson complaining on tik tok! I had a bad salad from McDonald's and it didn't even get many views but a major news station picked it up and wrote a click bait article about it.

It's wrong for sure. But if it's life changing money for you you shouldn't be putting that much in a tattoo in the first place. Also, the amount of time she paid up front.... I'm sorry, but even the first up front is insane, but then keep paying up front for adjustments time after time and even that amount for a reservation...... come on.

[@slsthewriter1299]

@@lexievv Yeah, there is something to be said about the money spending. It's one thing to be spending money on something you really want, even if you're not the most well-off. I'm not necessarily gonna blame anybody for that. But. It is entirely another thing to continuously fall for that kind of shady practice. Like that artist did *not hide it.* At all. Just back out. Say you don't want that business. If there's a contract involved, that gets dicey but you should've read it thoroughly. And if something's happening that wasn't in a contract? Well. Don't have to go with it. Bottomline, people like that do exist, and they specifically prey on people who fall for their shit. As much as it is their fault, and they are the ones in the wrong, …there's a reason why you need to learn how to be skeptical when it counts.

tattoogate: I'm fairly certain this falls under a bait-and-switch scheme and is liable to a lawsuit. Which I really hope the victim pursues.

[@babhusain]

justt want to add, in the case of the tattoo artist, she wasnt just doing overpriced consultations and scamming people that way. She tattooed people different and unapproved designs. theres an undersdtanding that not everything will look exactly as described and theres some adjustments, but the difference in art was significant. Honestly speaking, Im surprised no one has beat her ass and she has faced no real consequneces, and probably should.

[@thesingerintheshower]

Thank you for commenting on tattoogate in this video. I think that the artist's bad business practices definitely deserve and need to be called out online and that the person who posted about their bad experience should be supported by empathetic viewers. Clearly, there is a boundary where one should not leave negative reviews if they have no personal experience with the business and a boundary around cyberbullying and doxxing anyone's personal, not business, information. A tattoo is an expensive and permanent alteration to one's body, which is why I do not find this situation or the act of posting about it online to be pointless, as Gabi says it is.

[@lukesittenauer4109]

God yes. More people need to be like this. Life is so much better when you avoid online drama.

[@whyhellothere6855]

I find that this gen’s bullying culture is becoming so strong but defended by a wrong sense of Justice or humour. Gen z is ruthless with the bullying online now but instead of the typical “you suck!” You see on anti-bullying ads it’s “bro who wears this 💀💀” while recording some random people minding their own business. I hate this culture and why I will never download tiktok just because of the toxicity surrounding it, it’s already causing anxiety in impressionable teens.

[@walkerlocker6126]

I saw this tiktok once (ironic I know) where the girl was making fun of how bullying is portrayed. Like movie bully, "Where did you get those pants, loser? At the loser store???" And then actual bullies irl, "Oh, wow, those pants are so cute. Yeah, super cute, Hannah aren't those pants so cute? We should all go out and get matching pairs, right? 😏" The ways people bully just isn't shown appropriately across any medium, and it can be harder to recognize it and parse the differences

[@geministrial950]

Mob mentality is one hell of a drug

[@luluscaglione]

Here is my take: this phenomenon has a psychological and a social side to it. I believe people are getting increasily frustrated with the current socio-economical background (unfair inflation, bad work conditions, the rich getting richer etc) but don't quite acknowledge, or can't acknowledge it for a number of reasons (por education being one). So at every minor problem they encounter, they just have a very angry and disproportional reaction to It. In the internet we see this mostly with white middle class gen z and millenials, but this happens with older generations too, like we've seem with "karens". I don't quite know how to solve this, however. One could say education and critical thinking is a solution, but how do we do that? It's much harder than It seems.

[@MadaWakaranai]

I was also thinking something similar! Thanks for putting it into words

[@garfieldbrooks]

totally agree, i think it's easier to be upset about things that dont matter and direct ur energy to that rather than the difficult issues we're less likely to solve

[@bishielurfer]

I think there's also an element of people feeling like they did something. Like so many of the problems we as individuals face are barely in our control, if they are at all, so I think people get a sense of control by getting involved in these situations that they view as unfair. I also believe some of them don't really stop to think if their reaction is proportional or the actual extent of what the other person must be experiencing. And of course some of them are just trolls who take some weird delight out of making others miserable. And honestly the ones who post these things that kick off these situations I don't think intend for it to end up as big as it does. Many of these strike me as basically video reviews that somehow get picked up by the algorithm and blow up.

[@luluscaglione]

@@bishielurfer I didn't think about that and I agree with you, this persecution towards someone who did wrong may bring some sense of community and fighting for what they believe is "right"

[@AnD2LPU]

I think there is also a little bit of self-justified overreaction. I'll try to explain what I mean with an example: when I was 6 or 7 there was a kid in school who was kind of a bully towards the more shy and nerdy kids. After a long time, one of these bullied kid talked to their parents who just said "if this kid hits you, you hit him back harder and he will leave you alone" (... I know...). What happened was that now the bullied kid felt justified to beat the sh out of the "bully" every single time he was in sight. For no reason. Even as he just walked through the door in class, he would kick or punch the "bully". And he felt justified because "I suffered, so I earned this". Then I've seen people way older than kids who should be mature enough to understand how life works who over react to everything like this, even for stuff they're not remotely involved in, just because "they earned it",like the world has no consequences outside our own vendettas. People should understand that not everything is a side quest that disappears once you've completed your mission. It all keeps existing and keeps generating consequences, possibly forever. (sorry for the long rant, and if it wasn't clear, I totally agree with your points. This was just an addendum)

[@kg7219]

Imagine how much less dramatic it could have been if either party in that baseball game thing decided to just like… say something right then and there like “what’s ur problem I’m just taking pics of my gf” or “stop taking pics of me” ….

Thank you! I have always been flabbergasted by how little situations turn into INSANE internet drama where people that are not involved suddenly take that problem and make it their own personal crusade to fix. I understand WANTING to post about a problem... but you have to remember that it has real repercussions in the world when you do that. I also realize that life is unfair, everything is not always going to be perfect and you may feel you wish people acted differently or situations were resolved differently. But that's cannot always happen, you can't always get what you want.

"Bullying in any form is unacceptable." *Bullies person about bullying*

[@samuel.thornton]

I can't help but think that the increased awareness at a lack of justice (in the world, but especially in America) has led to the internet vigilantism that you're describing. And, as you noted, the problem with it is that it's never an equal "punishment" for the "crime" - there's almost always innocent others who are unnecessarily harmed. It's why true vigilantism is illegal, because without due process people can't be trusted to distribute justice.

[@paolacarmichael611]

Then again, many minorities don't trust the judicial system to have "due process". It always leans towards giving minorities and people with mental disabilities harsher sentences. So I get why people don't trust the police and the criminal system to carry out fair trials.

I think a lot of people online don't actually realise how draining it is to be mad all the time.

There was a saying in the old days of the internet relevant to this -- "Not Your Personal Army" We used to know that people who try to drag the internet into their personal dramas were full of bullshit, I wish we had that attitude again these days.

[@MariYumeCh]

the other day there was this lady and two guys who came at my work and these guys were being real a-holes to my manager and coworker. my manager is in his 40's, hes an older guy, kinda overweight, but he is very friendly and kind. my other coworker is on the autistic spectrum so her social skills are not the strongest out of all of us. these two guys were being incredibly rude to my manager asking a question about some togo coffee and when my manager was trying to explain to them that it will take about 20 minutes to brew (because its fresh coffee in a giant to go container) they started flipping out. we ususally need these kinds of requests way ahead of time so that way it can be done before hand, especially in instances like this when we were in the middle of a rush since its a coffee shop and its busy in the mornings. these people then asked my coworker the same question and my manager interrupted because the two guys literally ignored him mid sentence and then when my manager was trying to explain it they said "well i was talking to her, not you" and my coworker said "well hes the manager, i think he would know better than i would". once we started making the to go coffees they were causing a scene and making the rest of the other customers uncomfortable, all the while that lady that was with them was RECORDING THE ENTIRE SITUATION. My coworker asked her if she needed any help and all she did was hold up her phone smiling and laughing at them. My coworker is a minor and you cannot record minors without their consent. Why were they recording and being complete jerks to us? I have no idea, but I imagine it has to do with this whole tiktokification of drama. They probably wanted to cause some scene and get my manager or coworker to react in a certain way so they could post it on tiktok and make a big joke out of us, but they didnt give them that kind of reaction because all of us at a coffee shop are very well prepared for these types of situations where we know not to react since we have our own security cameras in the store. They also were recording me while I was making other customer's drinks and just laughing at me, as if something about me working a minimum wage job making adult men their milkshakes is funny (actually it kinda is especially when they get upset over whipcream) but still, it's a little ridiculous how many people harass people at their jobs when were barely making ends meet just so we can become props for their tiktok channel.

Reminds me of the K-Pop world. It's so easy for someone to start a hate train bc of something and people to hop on it just because they can. It leads to truly tragic things and ruins the idols self worth. Like Le Sserafim and Illit. These two groups started being hated on for singing bad. MR removed made it even worse. People kept going on about it. It specifically got bad for one girl to the point where she literally asked for LESS lines just so the taunting would stop. The same girl in their behind the scenes making of their album literally burst into tears and anxiety attacks at every corner due to the abuse she was getting. Not to mention how insane netizens go when a K-Pop idol dates. The parasocial relationship between idols and fans is so toxic to the point people send DEATH THREATS for K-pop idols collabing or even just having basic interactions. Recently a guy from a group left due to all the hate he was given from korean netizens literally due to him having dated someone BEFORE he became an idol. The entitlement specifically of korean kpop fans is insane. They literally will send protest trucks and funeral wreaths over stuff like that. And Kpop companies never stand up for their idols. Not even talking about the cyberbullying that happens when an idol is accused of being a bully. it's insane. Or when a girl is pretty. people just cant deal with it.

The reason you (and most of us) can’t understand why people do this (in my opinion) is because people find cruelty and punishment fun. It is a pleasure reward system.

But yeah it's extremely unhealthy to spend so much time and effort participating in a situation that you were never personally involved in.

I have the same feeling with this kind of stuff. I think the problem is that we put the same amount of energy to shame someone in whatever public discourse that's going on no matter what the context or severity of the infraction.
