Has social media made people more comfortable with being disrespectful without any consequences?

Question

Definitely on the women’s side. And possibly on the mens side but realistically a dick pic is a dick something every woman is going to see and put up with eventually with their husband. But ghosting playing games etc those things only girls do is well unforgivable in any circumstance.

A guy I know that spent some time in prison says it is similar to what they called "Cage courage". When the guards locked everyone in their cells at night, inmates would talk a ton of shit about each other. When the doors opened the next morning, they wouldn't say a peep.

Of course it has. They don’t have to answer to the awful things they say, when they get blocked they can create a new account and continue anyway🙄

Definitely people get bold af. But be pussy in real life

Jean-Marie_Céline · Answer

Yes.
Internet gives everyone a way to make others hear their voice without having to take accountability for what they say.

So we have people who freely scream at the crowd, knowing they will not get any consequences.

Sometimes they get so used to it that they do it in real life too, and are genuinely appalled when the consequences for their words come crashing down.

TacocaT6969 · Answer

Yes.  Used to be that only those who could put up a fight got away with being disrespectful assholes.  They should invent monitors that can punch people in the face when they need it...

madhatters4 · Answer

definitely has in my opinion. i think you can say with great certainty that a lot of the things said on social media and sites like this wouldn't get said if people were face to face

sawno · Answer

Nah, social media doesn't make these people disrespectfull its merely an outlet for people who already tend to be disrespectful.

Kiran04 · Answer

It's made you that way too, apparently, because even before social media it was not acceptable to punch people in the mouth for what they say.

What social media has done is stop people from interacting with each other. Your avatar on a screen is not you. That is not a person. Meaningful human interaction is a thing of the past. It's easy to be disrespectful to an avatar, because the avatar isn't real.

courtney06 · Answer

Yes it has. It actually helped me realize over ten years ago that racism still exists.

Mali411 · Answer

It’s definitely has. But majority of the time people that say nasty shit online are usually just keyboard warriors and in person a shit scared

thatguyfromtoronto · Answer

Yeah, people can say whatever they want but over 80% of the time, anyone who acts like an ass like that in real life would get their ass kicked or a drink tossed in their face.

Anonymous · Answer

Honestly the Internet is a place of negativity, shallowness and racism.. People get their kicks out of being jerks to others to make up for their own insecurities

Prof_Don · Answer

Yes for sure... but the bright side is that people show their true selves on social media and u realize how phony people are in the real world.

Philyouup · Answer

Yep. Every one has browser balls They don’t have to look people in the eyes to insult them. It’s easy pontificate bullshit when you don’t have to across the table from anyone.

VV3ZZY · Answer

It has more to do with parents not doing their job right. Not their fault though because it's how they grew up. It's all a learning process. Nobody is to blame. In my opinion...

bklynbadboy1 · Answer

Paul09 · Answer

Yes! No matter what it is, if it's online and you can write or say something, some idiot will be a idiot. They hide in the comfort of their homes, and troll. Makes people toxic when they are online.

LegendarySir · Answer

I would say it's the internet in general, not just social media. But it only makes them more comfortable online. In person they're still cowards.

AngryNoctis · Answer

Hell yeah. I asked a similar question a year ago but it wasn't to the point like yours I kinda dragged ass on it lol.

Kemil_Zhoki · Answer

Yes. But make no mistake, I am the same in real life. If you ask me a question I will answer it honestly. Some people hate me for that.

Sincerelyhonest · Answer

I dont think that has to do with how rude poeple are that is their choice after all

Anonymous · Answer

People’s real selves do come out online especially if they are anonymous. I don’t troll people but I dump out lots of shit on here about my personal problems that I would rarely say out loud. Especially about my frustration on the dating scene.

AmberRose82 · Answer

I think not. People have always said whatever they wanted.

Brady · Answer

Yes and some people are dumb enough to think it's ok because they're not telling people in person.

Silver158 · Answer

Yeah, knew a guy that would talk to me like shit online but when I saw him in person he wasn't so brave.

Definitely. Anyone can say a ton of shit behind a screen

ronaldo75 · Answer

Yes. If you don't like it then get off the internet. The internet has been a great place to say what you want. How many hidden thoughts do you know now that people have that you didn't know before?
