Nowadays, most, if not everyone online are toxic fiends and just harass and bully people to make fun of them while feeling like they are better than them. It is horrible and it makes the victims feel miserable. It is absolutely wrong and disrespectful, especially to people who are less fortunate than others and can't pay for expensive luxuries like Rolex's. What ever happened to being kind to people? I feel like most people online, especially on Reddit, just get a kick out of being toxic, insufferable brats. Back when I was a kid, people were far more respectful online and actually showed empathy and compassion to people. Now, it's the complete opposite. Which is why I lashed out on one guy in one of my most recent Reddit posts. If you aren't gonna be nice about it, why the hell should I be nice to you? It's called 'respect', and it's earned, not given. I feel like ever since the COVID outbreak most people online have acted more like manchilds. It's all too common on Twitter, Reddit, Facebook, pretty much all of social media in fact. People have seriously forgotten what it means to be 'kind'. Being 'kind' does not involve belittling people and bullying them. You lot need to take a long-ass look in the mirror and see how awful you're being. It was in a ranting subreddit for crying out loud and there was someone being toxic to a person making a genuine argument over in-game skins you have to buy using physical items (which is stupid, and I STAND by my opinion). I'm tired of being nice to people who act like assholes. I used to have more patience, but life is too short and I'd rather just not bother with them. We all need to remember kindness, and by God, it's literally the first rule of Reddit: "Remember the human". You may see a username as just a username, but there is a person on the other side that is the one having to take this toxicity and abuse. You are hurting a real person on the side and that should make you feel ashamed of yourself. I don't know what the hell happened, but it is just depressing as hell that pretty much nearly everyone online has turned into toxic fiends over someone simply stating an opinion. I think we need a complete resetting of humanity, Thanos-snap everyone out of existence and restart the entire human evolution tree. That way the new generation of humans can learn from us and our toxicity and be more nicer and kind to others. It is not hard to be nice and respectful to others, my God, stop acting like it is. You're not only making a fool out of yourself, you're also making people hate you to the point that they want to block you and avoid your presence anywhere on Reddit or any social platform for that matter.
