This morning at 10:00 AM I woke up, opened my laptop and logged on to roblox hoping to experience the same greatness I do every day from this site.
But this particular morning when I got up I went to a game called The Neighborhood.
Little did I know I would experience the worst thing that could ever happen on the internet. Cyber- Bullying.
In school, they always tell us children to treat eachother with respect and dignity online. Few people actually honor that rule because once your behind a screen and behind a tag name, no one knows who you are at all.
A couple of people have taken advantage of this feature on the online world, obviously, because I saw it myself this morning.
When I spawned in the game I saw what was a girl character standing in front of a boy character. This isn't an uncommon thing for to happen in roblox lands. So I kind of brushed it off.
As I was walking to spawn a car, I started paying attention to the chat. A couple of people, ( by respecting them, I will respect there privacy)were talking to eachother in a way I don't think roblox should EVER allow.
When I looked back over to the boy and the girl I saw earlier, I realized it was them talking to eachother in this way.
To be honest, I did start spying secretly. The girl had been offered by the boy a relationship. Instead of easily denying the advances, she completely tore him to shreds.
She told him how she would never even consider to advance with him because of his online appearance, and how she was astonished that he even had the nerve to ask. How hideous his character was, how stupid that she would be willing to be he was in real life, and a couple of more horrible jabs that included some unallowed curse words.
Before this I WAS NOT completely oblivious to the fact that roblox had conflict as well as any online website. But never before have I actually seen it. Not like this.
I personally feel that roblox should not allow these things to happen. I do not like the way that people get away with treating others.
However, the boy did break the online dating rule, the girl broke someones heart.
Not by rejecting his advances, but by degrading him, and attempting, ( and probably succeeding ) to make him feel inferior.
I am ashamed to say I witnessed something like this. |
