OK, well.... Where do I start?.... I can fully understand why you would think that it doesn't matter, I mean it is just a medium of text or audio, right? But unfortunately as we become more dependant on these mediums it becomes more difficult to remove yourself from harsh comments and bullying.
Additionally do remember that while it may be a game or other medium, the very idea that people abuse anonymity to say such depraved things speaks volumes as to the attitude surrounding cyber bullying and harassment. Everyone treats it as OK because you will never met the people. But what about when you are sending death threats to a developer for not doing what you want? It's cyber bullying, and is it OK? So why is it on when it's discrimination against age sex or race? It's depraved no matter how you look at it.
And one last thing, there is a bad connotation with calling yourself a millennial. I know it shouldn't, but it makes you seem like you are insensitive to the issues people face today.
And if you must know I am 19

I know it shouldn't, but it makes you seem like you are insensitive to the issues people face today.[/quote] No it's actually the other way around, which is why milennials are widely labeled (often correctly so) as being fragile. Millennials do quite well with diversity of skin color and body parts, but they struggle mightily with diversity of thought. Any thought or belief that runs counter to their own is wrong and must be silenced. This is why college campuses are the way they are today. There is only one acceptable narrative for every single societal issue. Any deviation from this one narrative ("truth") is subject to ridicule and silencing. "The test of first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function." - F. Scott Fitzgerald My opposed idea: The internet isn't real. Thicken up that skin.

I have two points to say here: 1) thank you for helping clear up the definition of millennial, obviously the definition I had learnt from context in conversation was not entirely the truth. 2) with the comment of thickening skin, the same could be said for real life, and yet people still get affected by what is said. Not everyone is the same as by extension not everyone can cope with the same situations rationally. It is important to remember that these people exist, that is all I wished to say.

Bravo! It's always refreshing to see a reasonable human being on this board.

I could agree or not agree and nothing about anything would change, ever, anywhere.

That is relative friend, change is something personal. If you change, then as does your perception of the world. This change could drive others towards it, but only if they see it as being durable enough to exist over time.
