Cyber-bullying vs IRL bullying

[Olivia]

Do you think online bullying is worse than or not as bad as physical bullying?

Explain your answer.

The same. Bullying is bullying, it hurts just the same as a fist to the face. Different pain doesn't mean less pain.

Bullying is the same regardless. A bit of trolling is okay but if it goes any worse than that then it's really bad.

An example of trolling is me having this signature for @PGen98 but if I started to insult her, call her names etc that is bullying.

I agree

Online bullying can actually be worse especially when those who have social media accounts have a lot of friends/followers.

I agree. Online bullying is when (potentially) thousands of people are victimising you.

IRL bullying is usually just between you and another person.

They're both the same whether you do it to someone's face or go online and do it. You're still antagonizing them.

People forget that people behind computer screens still have feelings.

 

[Ravenfreak]

Bullying is still bullying regardless if it's online or in real life. You're still causing harm to another individual, which is absolutely uncalled for. Many people forget that the other people they harrass online are humans just like them, and they have no sympathy for the person on the other side of the screen which is sad really.

Indeed, they're usually sociopaths.

Mostly. Onision is a great example of this. Any time anyone pissed him off, he'd have his fans punish you.

On Tuesday, Patreon banned the controversial YouTuber Onision, after he allegedly doxxed a woman who says he harassed her and manipulated her into a sexual relationship.
Onision, who is also known as Gregory Jackson and James Jackson, has been a popular creator for nearly a decade on YouTube, often including a rotating cast of fans, friends and girlfriends in his videos. At least six women are now accusing him of harassment and emotional abuse.

“Our Community Guidelines clearly prohibit doxing”
On Sunday night, Onision tweeted screenshots of private text messages between himself and another YouTuber, Billie Dawn Webb. Webb is a former fan who recently accused Onision of pressuring her into sex with him and his current partner. One of those screenshots contained Webb’s phone number. Twitter forbids its users from posting the personal information of others, like non-public phone numbers and email addresses without their express consent, and the tweet was removed within an hour of being posted.
Reached for comment, Twitter pointed The Verge to its policy on private information, saying that screenshots do not violate the platform’s rules. However, screenshots including phone numbers do. The tweet may have been removed before Twitter saw any such reports.

“Yes, we removed Onision from Patreon”
A Patreon spokesperson confirmed to The Verge that it considered those actions to be doxxing, which violates its platform’s rules and justified Onision’s ban. “Yes, we removed Onision from Patreon as he violated our Bullying and Harassment as it relates to doxing,” a Patreon spokesperson told The Verge.

Online bullying has a very simple antedote, just don't log on. In RL you cannot get away from it so that is far worse.

Or he'll do it himself it looks like.

Online bullying can cross over into the real world though. Like if the bullies start maliciously reaching out to your family, friends, employer, etc.

Both forms of bullying can be equally as bad, and both can be worse, but it depends on the situation. Irl, you have to deal with the asshole in person who can physically harm you if they choose. Online, you might not have a good escape from said bullying depending on the circumstance. I do think it's easier online to avoid a bully, but again, situational. If you and your bully are in a discord server and you block him, the bully can still be an asshole to you and you'll have an idea of it because Discord stupidly gives you the option to view messages from blocked people.
