Fascinating story about a woman who finds out her seemingly normal husband is a vicious online troll.
And yes, this guy is really willing to refuse therapy and sacrifice HIS MARRIAGE AND FUTURE CHILD simply so he can continue to harass people.
Gee, this sounds familiar.
That line about them being “not real people” is a strangely common and sociopathic thought process common with online trollers. It’s something you’d expect from a child or teenager, and something you’d hope to have died down once the internet and social media became commonplace in our culture, but alas, I see it persists. I yelled at an ex for the same thing once “They are just images on a screen.” she’d claim. I wouldn’t be surprised if the husband tried to claim “free speech”.
This new anonymity will keep doing nothing but harm if we dont educate people about conduct early, and stop letting channer culture and the dissmissive attitude of “its just the internet” dictate the behavior of people online.
…and no online site is going to accomplish this.
