There is this common opinion that the reason people are douches on the internet is because rude people are simply more likely to go there, and that irl most people are decent. I admit that I also believed this for a long time.
But I can now see this is all bullshit.
Consider Tinder: Most normies think tinder is 'not real life' but we all know this is bullshit. Women just virtue signal to not offend and then they show their real sexual side on tinder. It's the same with the internet in general: The internet is in fact reflective of how most people actually are. It's just that irl they don't have the guts to behave like assholes so they only show their real side on the internet.
This is actually fairly disturbing tbh. The thought that the internet actuarally reflects human nature is pretty terrifying.
