Personally, it's the griefing, bullying, and general bad behavior that stands out most vividly to me but then again I was never part of the in crowd.
- cdiamand 7y agoI know that growing up before the rise of online gaming we had no alternative but to play games with one another in person. There were real consequences to saying bad things to other people we knew in real life. This disappears when there are no consequences to online behavior, the social interactions are ephemeral, and you'll never see the same players again.
