I usually hear someone saying something like " it´s just internet opinion" , " nobody ****ing care of ít ouside this forum" ..ect but in fact, we spend most of our time on social network like facebook, twitter, forums. If it holds no weight to our life or is less important than real life, why do we spent most of our time on it? Admit it or not, internet offically became our second life.

Its faceless. No consequences

Internet is the primary life for so many people though. I know that's not exactly a good thing but that's how it is.

People take the Internet more seriously than real life. Especially on this goddamn forum.

Because internet provides anonymity and the ability to act in a way different to how you would in person.

You do have a reasonable point though and it's something that will be explored more as time goes on- when the two (real life + internet) become less distinguishable.

Because you can say anything you want, and on places like here, you can say anything you want and no one you know in real life would read it.

There's no reason to take the internet as seriously as real life unless it's actually affecting your real life (although it seems to for some members on here).

Yeah, I agree

I agree with your point, especially in the context of ATRL.

So many people like to say things like "it's just an online forum".... while they are living here and paying rent.

.

It is faceless till the consequences come in.

This.

I had this one member getting mad at me that I stole his thread. He posted a big essay about it with a shady gif.

I know, they lie when they pretend so.

So true. The thing is though, the internet is part of our real life - this is real life! The horrible things we say to each other are being read and we know it's from another person though sometimes we do get carried away. I hope people know I'm joking. Like as much as I'd love to throw a virtual bomb in the Madonna base just to make those guys STOP, I'm sure I'd like them in real life.

That being said I didn't go on a 2nd date with a guy cause he was a IRL Bey stan and wouldn't shut up about her.

This is really great.

We tend to forget that we are speaking and interacting with real people that have feelings

I don't spend most of my time here or elsewhere on the internet.

It's as real as you make it.

Anyone who says they don't live here with a post count more than 10k+ is a Big Fat Lier tbh.

It has little to no effects on real life in the end

wrong ! internet is implicitly changing the ideologies, it connects people in around the world to a unity , it exposes the many dark facts that the goverment burkes ( which you would never see on TV ), the informations spreading 10000 time faster than pre-internet era.

It's an online forum
