What would your mother say if she knew what you were typing? You may need to be nicer online! We all know how toxic the internet can be. The question is, are you part of the problem?
I get the need to vent. I get how irritating it can be when someone ranks all the Marvel movies and totally gets it wrong. (Seriously, Ant-Man ahead of Iron Man 3? Are you kidding me?)
In 2020, resolve to just let that stuff go. No author, no video blogger and certainly no fellow commenter deserves to be called fat, crazy, stupid or worse just because you have a difference of opinion — or even if he or she gets something wrong.
If you must weigh-in, think before you type. Think about the person at the other end. Think about the impact of spreading negativity. Ask yourself how you’d feel to be on the receiving end of what you just typed.
In 2017, the women of CNET revealed just how hateful trolls can be, and it’s an eye-opener. A sad, shameful eye-opener. Don’t be that guy. Don’t be that person. Be nicer online because the world is hateful enough without you adding to it.
