Maybe the people saying "it's just mean words" actually can't read.

Or maybe they're just edge-lords.

Nice to see victim blaming start right from the second post and the false displays of online macho bravado is just plain tragic .

Seeing a lot of these replies was a good reminder to call my parents in the morning and profusely thank them for how they raised me.

It's sad Amanda didn't live long enough to see the joy and beauty in life and her psychological scars became overwhelming to the point she felt like she had no other option than to take her life. Hope she's at peace.

A year or two ago there was a campaign by the entertainment industry to help out gay teens, all these famous people would say "things get better", meaning that once you get past your teen years things get much much better.

Shame that was mostly directed at gay teens, it's a good message for all teens.

Good, it's time that the internet isn't a law-free zone and things that will get you in trouble in real life (like stalking, harassing, death threats) should get you in trouble online.

When the fuck has it become so damn sexy to protect absolute dickheads who want nothing but to hurt, instead of protecting their victims? Seriously, some answers in this thread really boggle my mind."Hurr, durr, must protect the right of adults to bringing teenagers to brink of suicide or actually pushing them over! They could have just not cared, lelelelel!"

And no, this shit has nothing to do with Anita Sarkasian or some perceived feminine agenda, this is about people not being absolute utter vile douchebags. If you can't see why a man who systematically harassed a teenager and tried to destroy her life should get punished, you really need your head checked, period.

Wow...somebody is an edgy piece of shit

So you juts post to flame others?

I mean, they didn't force her to drink Bleach. 11 years is pretty fucking stupid considering people go to jail for less for Rape.

How much does rape get you? In a non Swedish country.

Getting bullied online isn't a thing. Who is forcing them to log on and read abuse?

If I open a message that starts with 'Dear Cunt' I'm unlikely to keep reading

Don't cut yourself on that edge.

Seen quite a Few cases in Australia where it ranges from anything from a year or 2, to about 9. Was one story of a Cab driver sexually assaulting passed out Women in his Taxi and he got like 3 months.

That's not exactly edge, it's moreso realism.

Sadly, judging by the recent moods in Europe and US, I'm afraid that any attempts to deal with this issue will ultimately be branded as liberal leftists enforcing hated political correctness propaganda upon the good and honest folk.

[Vargulf the Happy Husky]

A 38 year old? How worthless his life must have been to feel the need to harass teens.

I was thinking it was a bunch of other teens harassing the girl.

my thoughts exactly. i mean i troll, but i like competition. losing a troll battle is a great way to learn to be better.

but this old dude spending so much of his time just making fun of a little girl is goddamn sad

Nah, he's right. Several people in this thread are deliberately being edgy, probably because they're miserable and crave "any" attention. What they should do is rewatch;



before posting.

Very nice, have fun in prison where you cant hide like a coward behind a screen idiot.

[Zindai]

how exactly do you bully someone into showing you their breasts?

It was quite common when I was a young teen to have guys add me and turn on their webcam to show me their dick and ask me to show something in return. At that age you're somewhat oblivious to the fact that you can just close the conversation and be done with it. One guy asked me if I had "hair on it", and when I replied yes, he asked me to prove it because he didn't believe me. Fortunately I didn't bite, but I imagine some do.

These were mostly just older teens or guys in their 20s. It's quite disturbing.

I see, but this case wasn't solely calling her name's, he was basically exploiting or attempting to exploit a child.
Which isn't ok.

B.a.e: overusing edgy and other hipster words needs to stop!
Now, I've seen that video and have been familiar with her case long before this thread and my opinion still stands: mother is the biggest culprit in this, than the girl and than the scumbag. Parents should be aware what their child is doing online, kid should not drop their cloths for anyone on the internet (bad parenting) and the scumbag shouldn't spread child porn....in this order.

[Demontjuh]

..sigh

yes, she and many other kids make dumb decisions.
yes, kids should be better educated.
yes, parents should more involved in their kids online activity.
yes, cyberbulling is a too much diluted phrase these days and robs those that really need it from the help they need.

no, none of the above should excuse that piece of shit person from anything he did, and he deserves the sentence.

Why not both? :thinking:

Thanks for proving your fucked up morals I guess?

I haven't been knee jerk defensive. I corrected your mis-use of my initial post in this thread after which you started attacking my character; which you've done in the majority of your posts. I've responded appropriately. Nice try, again, in your attempt to twist reality. Sadly, for you, all of your posts are there to be read in my quotes.

Edit:
Re-reading the thread... I find it funny that you call out "knee jerk defense" when you were the one that got defensive, unnecessarily, when I corrected your "we're all to blame" "we all need to be better" comments. You got defensive, and then like some cornered animal, went on the attack: almost all of your responses are an attempt to demean my character. Other than calling you out on the material of your actual posts, I have not done the same. Your responses, again, ironic given the subject matter of the OP.

The below is still true:

Don't you find it deliciously ironic to approach someone with the idea of a collective responsibility, then have that person smugly defend their exclusion from it, and then in the same breath accuse you of being defensive?

Or you know what's really cringey? When someone says they're being attacked, and they're just defending themselves... and then in the same argument they attempt to explain to you how they're not being defensive. Lol, that's a goofy one. :^)

Also, don't you find it rather cringey when someone takes their time to "reread the thread" and then edit his post all for the sake of publicly stating his own reassurance. Seems a bit... try-hardish, wouldn't you agree?

Anyway, let me know your thoughts. Thanks!
