Personally, I think it's more derogatory to insinuate that what happens within the virtual world is not also a part of one's reality. "IRL" has the implication that only things that happen offline are "real," ignoring the fact that our "realities" are now so entwined with the digital world that it's difficult to separate the two. Why should talking to a stranger on the street be classified as being more "real" than this comment I'm making in response to yours? It's not; the former just happened in meatspace, while the latter was online.

That aside...the real world sort of sucks ass? What's so wrong about liking the virtual world better? I can articulate myself better, ignore people more easily, and sometimes I even get to be badass and earn a bunch of money! The virtual world is awesome.

It's not wrong. It just means that you've a mal-adpated coward. You are incapable of handling real world interactions, and they frighten you, so you escape into a fake world in which you don't have to present your true self.

The reality is that your true self sucks. That's why you don't get along with people in the real world. That's why you have to escape into fantasy. You are a pathetic waste of oxygen, and the tragedy of modern society is that we've made it possible for you to feel like you actually matter.

Wow. I hope you feel better soon.


It's easier to find people you share common interests with online than it is in the real world so preferring social interaction in cyberspace doesn't necessarily make one a coward. And IME if your "true self" sucks you tend to be just as unpopular online as you are off if not more so because people, like you clearly, are even less likely to be polite.

Terry Pratchett said in one of his books that masks let your real face show.

Anonymity on the internet is your mask, and we just got a great look at your real face. Ew.

I don't know. I always hope that this kind of comment is fired off in the heat of anger, or in a depressive downswing -- a temporary state of mind.

Agree completely with the first para at least.
