In most cases, characters are fearless not because they go through great trials, but because as was stated before, there are no consequences to your characters acting like a colossal douche canoe because you need permission to look at someone funny. I don't even mean killing or trying to 'force' damage. You can't even start the beginnings of a fight with someone IC without a bunch of permission anymore in most cases. Everyone is all for spontaneous roleplay if they get to talk shit, or do cute slice of life stuff, but if someone wants to put a fist in their mouth for running it, then it's godmodding or doing something without permission and it's a cardinal sin. It's the same overall idea as being an internet tough guy. They run their mouth because they know it's very unlikely they'll face real consequences behind the keys.
