Description
What I find increasingly obvious and irritating is the fact that a lot of people, even (or especially) here on deviantArt, forget that when they argue and say mean, nasty stuff to someone via the internet, there is actually a human being on the other end of that computer. When we say hurtful stuff to each other, we almost lose sight of the fact that we are not arguing with an emotionless textbox.So everytime I get into political arguments, eventually one of us goes for the jugular. And I always think to myself, "I bet you wouldn't say that to my face." And most likely, they wouldn't. Being mean over the internet is so easy because the consequences are very minimal. What? You get banned from the website if you say something nasty? However, in real life, you just might lose a couple of teeth.
One huge reason I'm increasingly starting to hate the internet is the fact that it makes spreading hate and ignorance so much easier. And it works on both sides, ladies and gentlemen. If doesn't matter if you are a white supremisist, a black panther, a religious fundamentalist, or a bitter atheist. Anyone has the capacity to be a jackass over the internet.
My advice to everyone? Do not say something to someone over the internet that you wouldn't be confident enough to say to their face.
Now a plz account, thanks to ~Daimanius !

That's a nice way of advising people not to say "mean" things on the internet.
But realistically, there's less than one percent chance the two would actually meet in real life and cause violence to each other. Therefore, there's no point in worrying.Β
As long as I'm following the rules of deviantART and obeying the law, haters are gonna hate the stuff I'm allowed to say.

What if you're so much of an ass in real life that you probably wouldn't change your speaking behavior? 8'D This stamp is almost concerning.
I mean among peers, anyway, not in any professional situation ._.;...

I have more respect for people who are asses in real life than those who are asses online.Β

I totally could agree more. And it's the sad truth too. They DO disregard the fact there is another human being on the other side of that computer screen. I can't tell you how many times I've seen so many nasty comments to others, usually on YouTube or DeviantArt. ...Then again, DeviantArt really wasn't as bad before as it is now. I've seen cyber-bullies telling others to die quite a lot lately.
It's really sad. I commend you for making this stamp.

Yes. It breaks my heart every time I see it.
Thank you, by the way.

This is an awesome stamp. Its very true - at least in my experience; even on websites I generally like, people can be horrible to each other online.

I agree. I know a lot of people would say something just because it's not to your face.

yep I had a relative go behind my back and ask my slightly homophobic sister about my sexuality rather than talk to me. though i understand she may feel awkurad asking me about it but durr I put it on facebook for a reason

I would. I would totally tell you to your face, what i told you online... Including this statement.

This one is going right onto my front page.
I use it because I would never say something to someone over the internet that I wouldn't say to them face to face.

I truthfully only type as if I was talking to the person face to face. But I do have a problem with you stating Black Panther as a hate group. The Black Panthers weren't racists.(atleast most weren't) The original Black Panthers of the 60's and 70's reached out to all racial groups for help and encouragement. And yes all races of people were part of the original Black Panthers.
The NEW Black Panther Party is the one thats racist. Not the original. But still nice stamp.

HAHAHAHAH...
you rock.
I can say that to your face,
can't I?

I don't say anything over the internet I wouldn't say to someone's face.
I really am that mean and spiteful 'in real life'
I'm actually more polite over the internet.
le gasp
Anyway I do think it's funny when people threaten me online. They wouldn't do it to my face.

It is never late to realise our behaviour and to correct it.
But internet should not exuse mean and rude words.

My gosh, I've been looking for a stamp like this!

I faved this not only because I agree with the stamp itself, but also because of what you wrote in the artist comments.
Not only do I agree whole-heartily, but I applaud you for putting it in such perfect words. "it makes spreading hate and ignorance so much easier..."
Exactly. If only more people were aware of that and there actions. Sadly though, I don't see it changing for the better, only getting worse :/...

It totally depends on the opponent I would say.
Some are worth a real discussion.
With some you can discuss with rage on equal levels and you feel it's fine for the other too.
And some are ridiculous, in their statement and their language therefore replying is denied at all.
It's not I go insult people with strong language, but if they show their opinion and I am shocked by it I might ask back - and a discussion starts.
Still, it's very true that one should not say things one wouldn't dare to say in real life.

Maybe I should make a pledge out of following your advice more carefully in future >.>

So true.
You wouldn't even be tryin to look my way in the first place.
You win free internets for this.

I definitely would, and have.
I have learned that for a girl, I can take a punch quite well.

People get very "brave" behind the keyboard, and don't think before they type.

wish there were more people like that..people who actually realize that there are actual PEOPLE you can hurt with what you say, even if it's over the internet.

I never say anything to someone I wouldn't be willing to say to their face. However... I am a little bit of a bitch and feel that if I have something to say about someone, they oughta' hear it
Though I do agree with the stamp, because it really annoys me when people say things they wouldn't to my face. Nice stamp

Exactly what I was thinking. Half of the foul-mouthed jerks on the web are simply abusing the lack of punishment to make themselves sound intimidating.
Wow, so you can talk shit to some random 12 year-old kid on the interwebs. How amazing. You must feel so proud right now to know that you don't have the guts to say crap like that to someone in your own age group, let alone in real life.
Why can't they just stop trying to be tough and just keep their mouths shut? You'll feel like a better person if you're nice to people.
(Whoo, um, sorry for the long comment...

I'm one for freedom of speech, but I really thing the Internet should have the "No Asshole Rule" (kind of what the Wrestlecrap Forums has.) I'm thinking if someone on the net acts like an asshole, his/her IP address could be suspended. But that's just wishful thinking though.
Didn't people forget what John Lennon said? "All you need is love."

Most people pull that simply because they have anonymity. For example, several months ago I was called a 'stupid cunt' on YouTube (yeah, I know) for defending the Pope. That exchange probably wouldn't have happened IRL as the idiot I was arguing with wouldn't have time to react with such a clever insult.
I'd be too busy hitting him...with facts.

I find it funny, to be honest, when I encounter a troll or art thief on here and I find them raging at me, shouting copious amounts of swear words, death wishes, and spamming caps lock rage. It`s obvious they wouldn`t say any of it to my face, or to anyone else`s, for that matter. What`s pretty ironic is when I give them a taste of their own medicine (albeit in a far more mature choice of words), they usually stop replying to me.
Stamp favorited (though I can`t use it yet, of all the buggery).

Usually with me trolls/flamers fall in two categories coward/jerkass
Coward-if they're blasting me on the internet and wouldn't have the audacity to say that to my face then they're a coward.
Jerkass-if they blast me , wish death on me and tell me I should jump off a cliff and it turns out they treat people in real life like that. then they're just an antisocial jerkass.
Either way I don't take trolls seriously.
But good stamp. I wish more people would think about that.

Theres alot of people in my school that wouldnt say what they say from afar to my face.
They'd be walking away without a face if they did.

"However, in real life, you just might lose a couple of teeth."
That's it?! Dammit, they would lose a LOT more than just a couple teeth if they ever said anything to my face like that!!! XD
I agree with this stamp, by the way!
