I've also seen shittalk that is libel on blogs perpetuated towards people over misunderstandings, Â miscommunication or even entrapment. People using it to perpetuate a facade or make themselves look the victim and blame someone as a villain as if they were forcing others to bully others out of RP.
Sometimes, that shit needs saying. Sometimes it just needs to be ignored.
I don't think the shit needs saying like that, though. Sure, you may feel slighted by someone, but feeling the need to go and make ten bazillion tumblr posts talking about it. I don't know. Â It's one thing if it's sexual harassment. It's another if someone is just kinda a jerk. Like, warn people on an individual basis.Â
But that's just my take on it all. I've seen a lot of both, and really, the only one I can get behind is if it's someone who is sexually harassing and preying on people. Not just general asshattery.
