This. So much this. Yes, bullying sometimes happened, but it wasn't the rule in most communities, and the ones where it was quickly became ghost towns.

Now, not only is bullying the norm, a lot of people even see it as the morally right thing to do, over petty fandom nonsense like what other people ship or which character they like best.

SA Or even just having a dissenting opinion on anything.

I think that's overstating the case by a lot.

Are you the Call-Troll anon? You wouldn't see it then.

I have no idea what you're talking about. I just think you're slightly overexaggerating how much bullying there is now, and I think you're understating it to say that when there was bullying back in the day people would immediately abandon the communities in question.

nayrt

They might not abandon the community immediately, but they would abandon it within a few months or so. And I've been in fandom a long time; there is way more bullying now, and it is far more acceptable than it ever has been in the twenty-five years I've been online.

If you can't see the bully everyone else is talking about, then you are the bully everyone else is talking about.

No, it's not.
