Cyberbullying does not exist

When you have your head pushed into an unflushed toilet bowl, while other, bigger kids laugh around you, and you have to worry about how long you can hold your breath, you are being bullied.

When you are forced to count the number of holes in a wired fence, you are being bullied.

When you are pushed around, shoved, punched, kicked and finally hung to a coatrack from your clothes, you are being bullied.

When physical objects are thrown at you, whether solid, liquid or something inbetween, you are being bullied.

When you are tripped and harassed on your way home from school, you are being bullied.

When your pants are pulled down, to reveal your underwear or genitals for a crowd to see, point and laugh at, you are being bullied.

Physical injuries, wounds, bruises and physical pain - these things are the results of bullying.

You can NOT do any of this to anyone via internet. In the internet, there's just data.

Everyone is free to either receive, read, look at or familiarize themselves with some data, and just as free to ignore it, avoid it, delete it, or not even use the internet or a computer. Your life will not end, if you do not use the internet or a computer. No one will force you to use the internet, or to go to a specific web page or to use a specific internet-based service.

But you are basically forced to go to school, to go endure all this ACTUAL BULLYING. And there's nothing you can do about it.

There has to be like 800 zillion things anyone can do to avoid being so-called "cyberbullied".

It's ridiculous to take a serious term meant to describe something REAL, and to stretch it to mean 'some stupid hag couldn't handle reading some text'.

In the internet, it's all a CHOICE.

No one can make you read their words, or watch their videos. In real life, seriously life-, and body impairing things can and do happen from bullying. Bullying is _SERIOUS_, and should be stopped (but for some reason, it's almost encouraged, and definitely allowed to happen).

"cyberbullying" is an offensive term to anyone, who has been ACTUALLY bullied. I guarantee with 100% certainty that ANYONE, that could choose between BULLYING and this so-called "cyberbullying", would always choose the latter without hesitation, if they knew the actual experience and consequences of both.

Would you rather have your arm broken, or would you rather 'have the choice whether to read or not read some text some jerk has written'? Only a completely insane moron would choose the first.

There's a serious problem called 'bullying', but what is called 'cyberbullying' is just text, or other data, that NO ONE HAS TO READ/VIEW/EXPERIENCE.

There are lots of 'insulting sentences' in the internet. But that's not a problem for anyone, because absolutely no one ever has to read any of it (unless they're contractually obligated, but I don't think that's the case with teenagers).

The freedom to say anything, to express any opinion in any way possible in speech or text is the fundamental 'free thought' right, that if suppressed, will create much worse problems than million worst insults in the world ever could.

Insults don't do anything. They're just text. You may CHOOSE to read an insult, and then CHOOSE to react emotionally to it, but it's all a choice. You don't have to read it, you don't have to feel bad about it.

But this is the current world.. they take a serious problem, then some completely trivial, first-world non-problem, and they EQUATE the two to get the big-daddy guvment to protect the Strong, Empowered, Independent Women that need men as much as a fish needs bicycle. "Waah, I can't handle this thing that normal people have always had to handle (and men had to handle 10 000 times worse version of it always, without complaints), PROTECT ME and my feeble, fickle feelings and ego, so that I don't have to grow up as a human being to handle adversity in any way!!"

If that is not the most trivial princess-style 'I broke my fake fingernail'-type non-problem that REVEALS that most women and girls live in friggin' Ivory Towers that men can't even dream of, then I don't know, what is.

You can't bully someone through internet, you need PHYSICAL CONTACT and FORCED PRESENCE for that. If someone can escape you physically, you can't bully them. It's that simple.

Thus, 'cyberbullying' (who thought it was a good idea to associate the word 'cyber' with internet anyway? Because it's like a cyborg?) does not exist. If you don't want to read some text, DON'T READ IT. Problem solved.

If you don't want to watch some video, DON'T WATCH IT. Problem solved.

People have perfect right to make 'insulting videos' as much as they want. Want to make a silly, over-the-top, cartoon-like, cardboard mask-based 'defaming' video about me? Go ahead, I'll applaud your effort and creativity, and my ego gets a small boost, because you consider me important enough to go through that much effort!

I once created a small animation, where a shotgun blows off my acquintance's head. I showed it to them, and their reaction was: "Hey, that even looks like me, wow, that's pretty cool!", and they laughed at the unrealistic 'blood spurting' stuff and all. I thought they'd be angry (I kinda hated their smug attitude), but they actually felt a bit honored that I went through all that trouble.

If that girl in this movie had taken a better attitude about things, instead of super-victimizing herself (think about North Korea, people getting killed by Drones in Pakistan, starving children in Africa and Asia, the homeless children in Manila, who fall asleep in the traffic, just trying to get a piece of bread, just to get a bit of perspective), she could've laughed it off, made her OWN videos, fought back, or just deleted those bully accounts / messages, put filters on the comment section, or .. *gasp* .. NOT USED THOSE SITES, NOT READ THOSE MESSAGES, NOT WATCHED THOSE VIDEOS.

Wow, so difficult, right? Because obviously she HAD to use, read and watch it all, because she was forced by.. uh... vanity?

So you basically want to destroy FUNDAMENTAL freedoms just because of vanity of big-egoed and really stupid first world problem teenage hags, because of the CHOICES the stupid hags made (and could just as well not have made)?

REALLY?

There is no such thing as 'cyberbullying'. There are just 'stupid apes writing stupid messages / making stupid videos' that you DO NOT have to watch or read. And that's all.

Heck, even chats have an "ignore" feature. Even multiplayer online role-playing games have that feature. So .. HOW exactly does 'cyberbullying' work? HOW is it just as bad that someone calls you a 'whore' (ooh, the worst insult, you first-world spoiled BRAT!), as some strong jerk pushing your head inside an unflushed toilet bowl for an unspecified time, and you have to actually worry if you'll drown?

I'd like someone to explain that to me, how the mechanics of that comparison work. You can't just slap "cyber" on some word and expect everyone to enthusiastically join your crazy agenda of destroying basic human rights!

I have some new words for you, that see nothing wrong with the word 'cyberbullying';

- Cybermurder - this is when you say REALLY bad things about someone, and draw a picture of a knife
- Cyberrape - this happens, when someone says something sexual that you don't like
- Cybertheft - when someone buys the exact same handbag as you, so now yours isn't special anymore
- Cyberembezzling - when someone talks about your money and wallet so much that you feel bad
- Cybercannibalism - when someone mentions that horses are used also for food, not just for riding slaves
- Cyberterrorism - when someone shows you a drawn picture of a building exploding

I could go on, but maybe the reader at this point also has some ideas. I don't want to pre-emptively cybersteal them, because that would be cyberimmoral.

Now, some words about the movie itself.

What a stinky propaganda piece - not to mention unintentionally funny and nonsensical; why would she end up in a HOSPITAL, although she never ate any of the sleeping pills (or whatever they were)? Is the character supposed to be mentally retarded - - - I mean, she didn't even THINK of deleting the 'offensive messages' or putting a comment filter on, or that people might express their nastiness online.. what did she expect? She thinks this world is a Homer Simpson's candy fantasy, where everyone is kind, respectful and happy, and because her stupid, childlike expectations do not meet the reality, EVERYONE HAS TO SUFFER from restrictions to their right to free speech?

Also.. she can't friggin' open a child-proof cap? WHY? What? Why didn't the filmmakers AT LEAST make her swallow half a bottle of those pills? HOW REALISTIC IS THAT? Wouldn't even the stupider teenagers know how to open a child-proof cap of some sleeping pills?

There's nothing in this movie that makes any sense or has any rationality to it. It gets worse with every scene. And the ending really tops it all in its cheesy unrealism.. holy moly! This movie should be reviewed by MSTK3000 if that show ever starts again...

This movie offers material for comedians for DECADES, if not more.

TL;DR - If you don't want to click, don't click. Problem solved. No one can 'cyberbully' you now.
