The whole premise of the movie just reminds me more of why social media and ease of access to the Internet for some people is a mistake. Pre-Twitter-and-Facebook if someone called you a fat, ugly fuck and told you to die in a fire on a message board somewhere, you either grew a thicker skin and blew it off or you threw it back at them that even their mother thought they were ugly and she had to tie a pork chop around their neck to get the dog to play with them.
It also goes to show how a lot of people out there don't have the wherewithal and logical coolness to handle rude remarks without flying off the handle on their own. The whole premise of flying into such a murderous rage that you would actually kill someone who verbally attacked you online just baffles me. It's revenge-porn for the illiberal liberals, but the majority of them wouldn't have the stones to even attempt it IRL.
