...the guy was sending her naked picture and information to her classmates every time she changed schools. Even if she did block him it wouldn't have made a difference.

That's REAL bullying not cyberbullying

No, it's cyberbullying. He didn't once confront her in person. He tracked her via the internet and constantly made her life hell using his computer. Is it really this hard to just say "I'm wrong?" Fuck.

We really need a better class of troll. In general we should ask more of ourselves, especially when interacting with people online. People have allowed themselves to get sucked into the negative abyss and normalized such shitty behavior. It shouldn't be ignored, and it shouldn't be accepted. Fuck the fucking fuckers, I'd be all for limiting their access and forcing people to actually interact with other human beings for a change. Maybe they'll develop character or learn to be socially responsible.

So what do you want to do? Censor the entire internet for the sake of sheltered people dumb enough to let themselves be made into troll bait on social media?

The best thing to do is just take none of it seriously


I'm not asking for censorship. I'm asking for death threats and harassment to be treated as seriously online as it is offline. I'm asking for a modicum of decorum when behaving online.

Seriously, the arguments about this were ridiculous. Didn't know the guy or his music, had heard the name though. What do they plan on these soldiers to do when they take a break from a long horseback ride? Pull out their tablets and smart phones? Pre electronica, people would sit around campfires and tell stories, sing songs, and generally enjoy each others company. There was nothing about the scene that should have taken anyone out of it.

Because I went through REAL bullying for YEARS.

Having someone say mean things to you on Twitter is nowhere NEAR me getting my ass kicked almost every day at school, and do you know what I did when schoolmates started to harass me on MySpace? I blocked them and I didn't deal with their shit until I went back to school.

This is why I have ZERO sympathy for a coddled spineless limp wristed multimillionaire popstar with legions of adoring fans acting like he's some kind of victim because he let himself be troll bait on social media

Cyber bullying can go far beyond "saying nasty things" people are persistent and can stalk them despite being blocked, or it is simply a continuation of being bullied at school so it follows them home to all their outlets. It can consist of people rallying together to further mock someone and can wear on an already vulnerable person.

Which only works if the bullying stops at "saying mean things to you." If the bullies take your naked pictures, your personal information, and other humiliating stuff about you and distribute it to your classmates even after you change schools multiple times then "blocking them" doesn't work. And yet you have no sympathy for that girl either and won't even admit when you're wrong.

I guess bullying just affects people in different ways. I got bullied sometimes and I developed a sense of empathy for people. You got bullied and you became a person with no soul, no sympathy, and no conscience.

No it doesn't the moment it leaves the internet, that's real bullying.

This almost never happens though and it's reaching hard when trying to point at this and say this is why cyberbullying is a real threat when it's only happened a handful of times in history

If you're being stalked either on or outside of the internet that's not cyberbullying either

Of course not, she had bigger problems than cyberbullying apparently that got mislabeled as cyberbullying

I'm sorry you're no longer human and numb to emotion. You should probably talk to a professional about that before you do something terrible. I'd say you're pretty fragile, considering how hard it is for you to say "I was wrong" about something really simple. Please, take care of yourself.

People have such thin skin these days. God forbid any real conflict or issues actually entering these people's lives. It's like they live in some sort of fantasy and when that fantasy shows signs of crumbling, they run away from the problem instead of handling it. It's not even limited to celebrities anymore. More regular folks, especially young adults of today, are doing this as well.

If he took center scene and performed his new single while a character in the show, I could understand backlash, but he was in one scene as a Lannister solider (not very prominently), had maybe one line, and was believable in it.

Not at all, you're reaching pretty hard if you consider being stalked as cyberbullying. If someone harasses you online that's cyberbullying, when someone uses the internet to find and stalk you that is not even remotely close to being cyberbullying

Are you really this fucking stupid? All of the bullying was done behind a computer. Not in person. Hence... cyberbullying.

He's saying it's only cyberbullying as long as it's harmless. But once it becomes a serious issue, even if it's still only through the computer, it becomes "real" bullying. Basically he's trying to change the meanings of words because they don't fit his agenda. Maybe he got punched in the head one too many times.

He temporarily deleted his Twitter account and hasn't said anything about it. Hell it's already re-opened.

I'll speak as yes another person that has been a long time fan of the series (read all the books before the movie came out) that doesn't give a single fuck that Ed Sheeran made a cameo in the series.

I recognized him but his presence if anything enhanced the scene. The whole scene was about Arya coming upon a troop of Lannister soldiers and encountering the fact that they just like any soldiers in this war engulfing Westeros. They aren't demons and they aren't necessarily worse than the men than Arya grew up around.

Having a soldier with a great voice singing to his comrades just fit in with what they were trying to get across.

I don't see much of a difference between "blocking" people on a social media site and leaving the site altogether. In both situations you're ignoring the haters. But there's no reason for you to react as if he's behaving like a drama queen or victim. Nothing he's said or done indicates anything like that. So again I ask what has you triggered?

He's ignoring them by letting them get to him? Not really. Just keep the Twitter account and don't pay attention to these people. Or better yet, play it up and find some enjoyment in the fact that people waste a portion of their time/day thinking about how much they hate you.

1. He still has the Twitter account. It's active right now
2. He already has said he doesn't like Twitter much and stopped using it for a year before his latest album
3. He said a few weeks ago that he stopped using Twitter because it's just crap on there. He's just using it for promotional stuff and his Instagram photos
4. How are you supposed to ignore people on Twitter anyway? It's a community of millions. If you're getting bombarded with hate it would be like trying to stop a tidal wave with a bucket

Real life situations and internet situations are not even remotely the same thing. That's like comparing a threat received from someone in real life and a threat received online. Obviously, I'm going to take the threat in real life more seriously.

If someone were to scream and insult me in person, I would either have to calm those people down or leave for it could easily lead to physical violence. Not the case when teenagers and basement dwellers over the internet are insulting me since we are both behind screens.

It's weird that you feel this way. As if the internet were a fantasy world where you shouldn't reject someone who doesn't treat you with basic human decency.

The answer to my question is obviously "no, I don't stand there and continue to get inspired. I walk away." And the same should be true for withstanding abuse online: there is no reason one should just sit there and take it, like you suggested.

Eh, I don't find it strange. If this was the internet before the mainstream audience got a hold of it or if this was the dark web then sure, take some of those threats seriously. Or if people on the internet gave irrefutable proof that they would harm you then that should be taken seriously.

I still believe it is different taking abuse from strangers online compared to taking abuse from strangers in real life. The strangers in real life have a very real chance of hurting you or worse. The strangers on the internet are mostly shitposting kids who want to get a reaction out of you and leaving the internet is doing exactly what they want in my opinion.

Not going to look into a celebrity's life for the truth. I didn't even know who this man was until this topic. I saw him once in an interview on TV and that was it. I'm also sure that Ed Sheeran has literally millions of fan compared to a few thousand or so who shit on him on Twitter. It's about looking at the bigger picture. When you become famous and successful, there will always be people who hate on you even for the smallest of things. That's life.
