Nope, you're completely correct. The Internet is an inherently voluntary participatory medium. You cannot be "bullied" on the Internet because you can make it disappear by clicking a red X.
Furthermore as liberals are so keen on reminding everyone via their campaign of censorship, you don't have the right to be anywhere on the Internet at all, even if you're paying for that access.
>You cannot be "bullied" on the Internet because you can make it disappear by clicking a red X.
I'm not understanding your logic here. It's not bullying if you can quit? So kids can't be bullied on sports teams or in clubs or extra curricular classes? Are you an actual boomer who thinks the internet "isn't real" and isn't a key part of life today?
Wow you really nailed that straw man. Look at the stuffing fly. But yes, being scammed online is a crime. Video game gold has real value and if you are stealing it from people via deception, you are committing a crime. And social media is a social situation, wherein you can suffer social effects such as being bullied.
Your reasoning was that you can't be bullied on the internet because you can quit. This is flawed reasoning, which I easily showed by example of other things you can quit where there is bullying. You will need to find another basis for your argument besides the "optional" nature of the internet.
thinking pixels have value
I bet if you had all your steam games deleted and all of your emails and you were banned from this website, you'd be pretty upset, despite that it's all just pixels. Stop trying to sound cool by doing a nihilist-filtered impression of your parents.
It's not flawed reasoning. If you can make something disappear in an instant, and yet you don't, you are making the choice for it to continue.
Because that's how being an adult works.
No amount of you moving the goal posts changes that fact. Least of all trying to escalate in such a blatant, and lame, attempt to provoke an emotional reaction.
You aren't good at this. Least of all when you're trying to argue with an adult.
eh i can think of A scenero where its serious. when a hacker takes over your network and decides to then use some of the connected devices to start a fire. back in the day there was a computer virus that did this using a certain monitor type mucked with its display causing it to overheat and catch fire. but outside this very niche example i agree with you. just shooting to try to improve debate skills by racking my brain a bit.
How would this even work? Rape is an actual word, with an actual meaning. It wasn't rape if somebody just said words you don't like. Did the developers created a rape mechanism? What the fuck is this nonsense?
But the CP doesn't come from nowhere, it's part of a connected network. It's same as the selling of stolen goods, you didn't perform the crime to obtain them possibly but your distribution of said goods encourages and finances those crimes to continue.
Of course it's Bongland lmao. Gangs of goatfuckers in every major city raping thousands of underage girls? Nah, let's focus our resources on virtual "crimes".
Said to myself 'has to be Britain' and of course it is. I'm not sure what made me so certain since several countries are arguably further gone, eg. Canada and others. I think the reason is that among the poisoned West, UK cops are uniquely hostile towards their own citizenry after having been so rightfully humiliated and mocked in recent decades, which makes them very proactive in pushing for feminist totalitarianism and prosecuting 'digital crime' shit.
Mr. BiggusDIckus69_420, did you, or did you not, drop a fat dono for $50 USD for 30 seconds of uninterrupted control and access to her WiFi-enabled Pussy-Pounder 3000 dildo machine?
The alleged victim, identified only as a girl under 16, was wearing a traffic cone on her head in an immersive game when her avatar, an animated representation of her, was raped by those of several men, the Daily Mail first reported.
Even before that I remember the same stupid controversy with Echo VR on Oculus where players were virtually slapping the virtual butts of female avatars so the devs added a privacy zone around players.
Although the accuser did not sustain any physical injuries, she may have suffered trauma similar to someone who’d been raped in real life, police sources told the outlet.
Fucking good. I hope that trauma manifests as a desire to drink a hemlock cocktail.
I am so sick and tired of the ridiculous coddling of the inherently unfit to survive.
Agreed. It was a self inflicted, consensual "wound." For multiple reasons besides failure to log off:
A spokesman for Meta said: 'The kind of behaviour described has no place on our platform, which is why for all users we have an automatic protection called personal boundary, which keeps people you don't know a few feet away from you.'
Any crime that can be stopped by turning off your WiFi is NOT a serious crime: change my mind.

So Dark Souls is bullying you then? Is being scammed out of WoW gold a human rights violation?
Just turn the fuckin thing off. Stop acting like this kind of thing is equivalent to real life.
And no I'm no boomer. But I'm certainly not fool enough to think that friggin Facebook VR is a "key part of life."

Straw man you say, when you immediately leapt to proclaiming this was somehow comparable to sports or school. Accusing me of what you are guilty.
That said, I laugh at you thinking pixels have value. Couldn't get more ridiculous than that.

You don't even have to turn the wifi off. You just have to take the headset off and log out.

A reminder, people want to hook their homes, security and even body parts (pacemakers) to the Internet.
I didn't need to play Watchdogs to know how MUCH of a bad idea that is..
Laughs in MegaMan Battle Network.

Feminists have been widening the definition of rape for generations to justify their bloated corporate existence
Distribution of CP over the internet?
No because there has to be active child abuse to PRODUCE those images.
Unless you count drawings in which case sure you can try but that gets into REALLY thought crime territory..
The distribution is also a crime.
But the CP doesn't come from nowhere, it's part of a connected network. It's same as the selling of stolen goods, you didn't perform the crime to obtain them possibly but your distribution of said goods encourages and finances those crimes to continue.
They're separate crimes though. People can get charged with distribution of CP without having a hand in producing it.
Usually because they want the source and it's easier to get it if you seperate the crimes for plea deals.
Of course it's Bongland lmao. Gangs of goatfuckers in every major city raping thousands of underage girls? Nah, let's focus our resources on virtual "crimes".

I've been stabbed, shot, lacerated, crashed into, exploded, drowned, thrown off cliff, beaten, poisoned, vaporized, dissolved, atomized and liquefied
Can I sue now?
greetings my fellow virtual Mass Murderers. how many war crimes have you committed today?
I'm rather shocked it took this long. But then again, most of it probably depended on having more than 2 people actually logged in.
I could've sworn this was a thing a couple years ago after the whole Metaverse BS was introduced.
EDIT: Yup, there's this instance from a year ago: https://nypost.com/2022/02/01/mom-opens-up-about-being-virtually-gang-raped-in-metaverse/
Even before that I remember the same stupid controversy with Echo VR on Oculus where players were virtually slapping the virtual butts of female avatars so the devs added a privacy zone around players.
I used to love social VR until all the furfags and trannies moved in. The original cheap Quest was basically Eternal September all over again.
Fucking good. I hope that trauma manifests as a desire to drink a hemlock cocktail.

You have got to be fu... nevermind, clown world strikes again.
I guess next time the police ignore grooming gangs, just say they were doing it on the internet instead of IRL.
I can't wait they start investigating all those virtial murders too.
Clown police, clown country, Clown World.
Honk honk.
I guess they haven't checked the second floor of Goldshire Inn yet.
You think the kids today are soft, wait until the kids start crying over getting virtual raped when they could just turn off the video game.
Meanwhile Epstein Island did no harm.....
