That… Doesn’t even pertain to what I said.
I’m talking about the decisions of the people who are using it, and just giving out like that.
The kinds of people who just wallow in the pit and refuse to get out. There’s just too many of em’.

That’s what I call addiction it’s like mud and people tend to think there are more reasons to stay in rather than come out imo

Maybe you’re right. It probably is just some addiction at this rate…
Not like much can be helped, though; You advise them to see a therapist, either they refuse, or claim they have no access to one. You try to give them words of encouragement as you had yanked yourself from a pit and give the advice to them, they say it won’t work. You try to go further to help in a genuine attempt, and you’re villainized in a mere instant by the eldest in the friend group.
Shit may as well be inescapable considering this happens, even when the person is fully aware they have a problem.

When my brother tried to help me when I was down it was pretty much ineffective but what people don’t realize is that it’s enough to just take a person for a walk even if you force them to and it might have it’s effect at some point in their life atleast it was that way for me, point is it’s like planting you can’t make it bloom but you can leave it to bloom after playing your part.
I really like the way this person worded their post so I’m quoting them to start off
I was pretty afraid of sharing my gender online at first because I hang around places with mostly males online, so as you can imagine discovering I was female was a weird experience to some people. I try to be more open about it nowadays, but I always have this paranoia of people applying stereotypes to me. A lot of guys view any experiences they have with females as weird so at first I was even afraid of people knowing and it was a thing I always tried to keep secret. Some people still thought I was a guy with a weird voice after hearing me on vc for the first time.
The paranoia is still always there. Someone once asked me what I do when people find out I’m a girl on vc, to that I answered that I never really vc outside of a certain few servers where I’m comfortable and know the people who i’m talking with better.
I think that there’s a lot of harmful stereotypes to both males and females. Heck, even non-binary/whatever other gender stereotypes exist. I think that things relating to extremely one-sided gender “norms” should not have a place on the internet. By this I mean people calling each other discord mods, girls posting pictures of themselves with filters, posts that showcase “gay things”, gender war podcasts, corny sites, they all contribute to your view on people. One of the reasons I sometimes hate being a girl is because people apply stereotypes too fast or make jokes that make me uncomfortable
I think that dating at this age is just not worth it, and the biggest reason why I dislike it so much is because I lost my best friend because they went into a relationship. When I will become an adult I don’t think I’d want to date anyone either. I have a lot of difficulty with keeping friendships up, and a future with a partner doesn’t seem like the way I’d want to live my life.
That’s just my thoughts, but who knows. I may change them when I grow up I don’t fucking know. The problem lies here in how distant the two (main)genders are. Both men and women are taught bad things about each other on the internet. How do you expect those people to go outside and interact with each other, if the females think men are going to r*pe them and men think women are $lut$?
The dating in this time and age is way too complicated, and you won’t find what you’re looking for without sacrificing months of rejection and self improvement. ai girlfriends are just a way to forget interacting with real women, and as fucked up as it is, it’s just another factor in this echo chamber that slowly consumes you
Wow that sounded really edgy but you get the point

I really don’t understand how corn sites are not illegal, it gives a shit ton of money to degenerates, it’s a messed up education for teens and it’s really not that hard to go to such sites as a kid even, and it fucks with people’s mind yet it is legal and it is striving.
It brings money I guess, that’s the only explanation I can give to those things still existing
yap, yap
Women are worried about having one of the worst things possible happening to them, and men are worried about being accused of being the perpetrator of said thing. System just won’t work for anyone who worries about their well-being.
Honestly, after listening to a few womens’ experiences online, I really cannot blame you at all. People tend to voice their most disgusting views online more than anywhere with nobody to tell them to shut up and no real consequences for their actions. Wish there was some genuine incentive stopping people from doing this, but most companies don’t take this kind of thing very seriously, unfortunately.
My personal experiences online haven’t been too terrible, so I cannot say that I’ve gone through the same. (The demographic I’m a part of is one of the least harassed). That said, I have heard stories, and it saddens me that this is the state of humanity.
Meanwhile roblox censorship damn only to then add a really questionable avatars
I’ve learned long ago Roblox doesn’t care about anything besides it’s bottom line.
Nah, that… Just sounded exactly like what I’ve understood.
I’ve had to try and abandon that focus on all the sensationalist stuff, and instead focus on actual people. Sure, most people I’ve met have been online (been a shut-in since I was 11; not gonna elaborate on why), but having just been looking to their merit as people, it’s made interactions on both fronts less abrasive.
It seems like the sheer amount of sensationalizing these horrid things has put a rotten peach’s pit in many people’s heads. It keeps them hunting for more to search for affirmations of stereotypes and hatred, and that creates a feedback loop that news companies can use to make the 1-3% stand out ever more.
It’s a pretty toxic loop… Breaking it wherever possible is the only way to start breaking it down and making our interactions about each other again.
…And quickly, in regards to Bido,
Fun fact! At least in the United States, pornographic material of any kind was illegal until around the late 1960s or early 1970s.
Why the fuck anyone thought it was a good idea? Don’t ask me. Of course, I guess the people of the time didn’t see the societal effects the syndication of such material would bring…
Honestly though, it was pretty fucked up that writers of that stuff at the time were considered basically “activists” for going against societal norms that we now have learned… Had a good reason to exist.

For me what I like about the internet is how for many introvert and people who lack social skills can express themselves here and I don’t know how to explain it but when I’m behind a monitor and allow myself to be expressive I also careless about the gender of whoever I’m talking to and such, it is true that some put this to the wrong use including me sometimes being a bit over myself but this is one thing we shouldn’t take away from the internet.

we’ve gone into an age where we can’t fricking interact with each other, and the internet has some pretty good examples of why
I’m not saying we should ban all social media and the ability to interact online, I’m just saying sites should hammer down on disgusting behavior more. I highly doubt you’d fall into the range of behavior at any given point.

This whole topic is why I’m glad I’m aroace
better to be lonely than to constantly start coping once the realization that everything ive felt wasnt even real
just imagine u make this whole relationship, u have all these feelings, and one random night when ur in bed, u realize that the reason that everyday when u woke up u feeling worse and worse, is bc ur connection isnt real, and u know that no matter what u do, it will get worse everytime u open that app
cannot agree more, my closes friend is a girl and she is absolutly amazing, the fact that people think that anything above friends is more is quit sad, why did the concept of close friends and best friends become so forgotten
