What's the deal with people being jerks online?

Actually most of them are just immature dicks, but there are some instances when the lack of human presence effects the communication. Communication online through either text or voice separates the individual from the visual and physical consequences. ~90% of human communication is non-verbal, and social media/online gaming disconnects us from that. This leads to keyboard warriors, raging little faggots, and kids portraying the wrong kind of social behavior because of the lack of physical presence. In person they would not display that behavior. They feel tough behind a screen.

Good on you for having such a good attitude about it! I know many people who would quit the game all together or take their rage out on the opposing player. If I get a chance, I may post all the pictures I have taken of PSN messages from salty 12 year olds. Seriously I have about 50 from playing COD4/MW#/TLOU MP

Dude, easy on the F bomb. Gay people are generally easy going as a demographic. Raging little gamers might be more appropriate seeing as I've never seen such a group of opinionated, obsessive people in my life and technically that's what they are. Raging little gamers.
