| I find that in person, with strangers, co workers, friends....everyone in real life is more positive, and just more accepting of others beliefs, religion, opinion etc etc But it feels like on MAL, every other post is something negative, some one trying to force their opinion down some one else's throat, or making a joke that could be offending to some one else, or just criticizing something and just not being very considerate of others feelings. I understand we're all anonymously posting, but is that what humanity is like on the inside? Just negative? Not loving creatures? |

| Well in Sims 4 there isn't even an option for "trolling teh forums". That is why I like the club environment more. They tend to be more friendlier there, but as for negativity...I mean we aren't going out and clubbing every weekend. A lot of us are posting 100+ times a week on MAL. Some of us aren't the happiest people regardless. |

| I think it's more so there is no tone in what is being said in the words. You read the things typed in a certain way. And it could be completely different from the other person's end. But they can't convey it through how they say like you can irl. Like I can call you a nerd. You might take offense. But to me it was a light-hearted joke. But irl I could convey that joke with laughter or a smile. But in text I can't. |
Vokren said: anonymity = no consequences Real life people just conceal what they really want to say with 100% honesty, you're less exposed to opinions/discussions and different beliefs. lol u mean irl people are just hypocrite , i don't agree with what u have said , i believe it's the opposite people on forums from what i have noticed they try to be someone who they aren't , like fake personality or something like that . |

| People on mal arent negative they are just plebs |
| You mean like the "would you rape a girl thread"? |
 |
| It's easy to be mean on the Internet. Let's spread kindness! |
  |
| Being negative is much easier than being positive. |
 |
| Unless you're a complete moron, their are no consequences for being a cunt online. |
| Because shit posting is fun online because there is no consequence. Without restraint, you're more likely going to be a shithead. |
 |
| People dont find happiness in the little things anymore. Everyone's looking for a out of this world experience when so many little ones are right out their back door. |
 |
| Because life sucks and we take on out on random people over the internet, cause you don't have to deal with them IRL |
 "The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself." -Friedrich Nietzsche |
| Because of the GIFT obviously. You're not even trying. |
| BECAUSE ANIMU IS SERIOUS BUSINESS OP! God, didn't you learn anything at the school of weebs? |

Lust said: Negative people are "louder" so they tend to be more noticeable then postive onces. I don't believe this to be true, people are just meaner on the internet because they aren't exposed to mirror neurons or consequences. When telling someone (to go back to the rape example) that rape mostly effects men and effects less than 1% of women, (comparatively 3x as much) if you can see their demeanor slowly crumbling and simultaneously understand the consequences you are prepared to face you probably won't share your facts. Anonymity and the lack of filtering lead to the exposure to views that are not common place that can be translated as mean when you look at them from the perspective of what is commonplace. |
 |
| People hate their lives and try to deal with the negativity in their lives by being an ass online because they were bullied or anti-social in real life. |

Jou-dan said: why are YOU so negative on people who are negative on negative people on MAL and online in general?  I literally don't know what else to put here. |
| Your threads aren't really helping m8. |
| People are more honest online. That person being nice to you IRL might even hate your guts. |
| The football field isn't the only place where you could use a good line. |
| Why are you so negative? Why are you trying to force your ideas on everyone's throats in this thread? |

| because when you try really hard to be so optistimistc irl that sunshine practically shoots out of your ass, you burn out and you take it out online. also tone may have something to do with it. irl we may subtly disagree with a warm tone. however, online when it's only put into words, everything feels far less sugarcoated. gonna be negative tho, imo most humans are selfish assholes who have impulsive kind moments or feel obligations to be "nice". |
| is that what humanity is like on the inside? Just negative? Not loving creatures? yes. anonymously posting reveal our true identity |
| Humanity is a cesspool. Whether it's online or offline, you still end up meeting people who take a shit on your opinions then shove theirs down your throat or stomp all over you just because they can. |
 |
| Some just like to let out their darker thoughts online, when they can't do it in real life. |
| Because they can. You can have any opinion online, you can hate on anybody, you can let your true feelings out - without it affecting your real life - I think that's why people are so attracted to hatred behind the screen. |
 |
| There is no tone in what we type online, that's one of the main reasons why sarcasm is difficult to understand on forums and social media. It's all on how you perceive the message. And also, because they can? Some people are just negative at heart, so to them, they're just being who they are. While others are having a bad day/have anger to vent out so they do so online. It isn't difficult to understand. |
| You can be a dick online with little to absolutely no consequences, so people take that chance to vent their frustration. I've seen a lot of passive and kind people too, though. You just notice the negative people more because they make themselves more noticeable. |
| well it's online, no one would keep an eye on you...so anybody can fake themselves and don't give a shit or the other way around which is being true to themselves. |

The fact you responded makes your post ironic on so many levels. You are trying way too hard to be that one guy. Honestly, you don't fit the character buddy. |

So that means I'm at 0? well at least it ain't negative! AAYYEE! Jou-dan said: resign yourself to a life of loserdom? >Spend hours on an anime forum. I just need to go through a few more steps and I'm almost there, fam. |

| Because their pathetic behaviour usually is self-serving which draws a sense of satisfaction in themselves. They can't really do it in real life, because you know what'll happen if they do. Amassing all of their negative energy, they spew out whatever comes out of their minds on these threads. |
