For me, it was that the Internet never forgets and that you should never enter your real name. In my opinion, both of these rules are now completely ignored.

    Don’t feed the trolls.

    Of course nowadays its nearly impossible to tell whos spouting racial slurs to get folks mad and whos doing it because they’re just an asshole.

      I remember when it was just funny edgy humor that was clearly satirical for the most part because a lot of us were just dumb kids. It was abrasive and stupid but you had this feeling everyone was in on the joke.

      But bizarre satire has turned to deeply held conviction.

      I’m not just sad that the mean spirited trolling persists, but that it’s gotten more sincere and often must be taken seriously. :(

      When it comes to slurs and other discriminatory I don’t really see a difference.
