Alright: Personal story time.
I was a victim of cyber bullying.
Back when I used to play WoW a group of players decided to take it upon themselves to just make my life hell. They spammed me whispers. They followed my character to major cities to spam me in general chat channels. They followed my character into raid zones to continue to bad mouth me during raids.
Rightfully so I immediately ignored the players responsible. But that didn't stop them.
For months on end they continued. Their messages in cities would bump mine out of the chat box. Their constant bad mouthing eventually lead to me getting kicked from a PUG dungeon when I had and was successfully tanking bosses in raids. Every time they started up, I reported the players responsible to the Mods. Mods would give me the usual song and dance but nothing was ever done to stop them and their behavior.
At one point I considered actually killing myself to get the mods to actually do something to stop these players. A mod has to talk me down. I was in tears.
Say whatever bull-blam!- you want about "just doing X" or "be stronger." It's just that: Bull-blam!-. Even if you could withstand the abuse, which I doubt, not everyone is you. Nobody should have to deal with the bull-blam!- I went through.
lol
Uhh... You know you could have just stopped playing for a week or two and they would have moved on, right? If you deny a bully their target, they go away. That's just about how it goes most of the time.I love me some ol' fashioned victim-blaming.
