Have you ever experienced the hatred displayed by some of the users here, in your real life?

Answer 1

I had read this question before, but I really had to think, as I have had some nasty experiences.

But after some hours, I have to say that I agree with Deirdre, Here is worse, much worse, because people that want to be cruel hide behind a screen.
This "invisibility" creates the false notion to some sick individuals, that they are not interacting with real people. There can be a big lack of empathy.

But who suffers more the person that hates or the victim in the internet? Someone that hates never lets go, someone that hates is slowly asfixiating under the pressure of their own terrible demons and will always look for a new victim.

A victim in the internet, just disconnects the computer and continues life without the need of fighting scary nightmarish psychological personal dragons...

It has to be scary to be inside the head of a hater.

Good question

Answer 2

The hatred displayed here is probably more intensive than in real life, because they lack the balls to take anything on face-to-face. They can only exist, hidden behind a keyboard in the safety of their home.

The hatred exhibited here simply reflects the thoughts of cowards who fear women.

Answer 3

Yes. well not sure if you would say hatred. but I had my share of loons trying to break me.

The worst ones my parents. they have been the most vocal against my daughter. being a single mother to them is the worst thing in life. but in the long run they are making me stronger because the more they get on me the more I grow up and try to prove them wrong. and my daughter is a happy healthy 1 year old. so I must be doing something right.

Just don't let them hurt you. don't let them get you down. you may not agree with a lot of people's views but no one should hate anyone. just my 2 cents. God Bless

Answer 4

I have experienced enough hatred to last this is for sure. I fought for my lunch money, for my right to walk the halls with my head up even at one point to look people in the eyes. I have had someone tell me no man of my color would ever look him in the eyes, it was a good fight. Hatred knows no boundries and I hold no group or race responsible but I do think it is overlooked alot of the time. I have on a good many occasions faced it, mostly over race but every once in a while it will be over social class or politics. Unfortunately those that openly flaunt this hate only understand one language and its one most are afraid to use. My sister whos sexual preference has led to its share of hate has encountered it, and I for her. In the face of hate all one can do is to steel his or her resolve and be prepared to fight or cower to it.

Answer 5

I have experienced sexism but not to the extent that is displayed here. I don't think it is a hatred I have experienced, just an opinion of something should be like this because i am a woman.

Answer 6

Not so blatantly. When people are unable to hide behind a web of anonymity they tend to be more politically correct. The Internet is a free for all for all kinds of lunatics and right wing fundies. This is the perfect medium for those with resentments to lash out at those they hold (wrongly) responsible for the shortcomings that they have. It is a rather symbiotic relationship.
In my real life I am treated with a great deal more respect. The individuals I work with our professionals who hold themselves accountable and the people I help understand that I have credentials that I have earned that give me a certain knowledge base that can be beneficial in dealing with their issues. With Internet it is very one dimensional and people feel they are not dealing in real time or with real people but more of a composition of a persons beliefs and ideals.
This is just my personal opinion. Thanks for asking a question that is truly thought provoking.

Answer 7

I’ve experienced hatred in real life by people who think they are better than me. They feel the need to put me down because they don’t like the way I look, talk, act, or whatever.

However, I’ve never seen in replies to your postings a *hatred* toward you. I don’t think they *hate* you, they just disagree with you.

Maybe you’re being a little sensitive regarding people who disagree with you?

Answer 8

Yes i sure have once.
It was a women who was full of hate and rage, sort of like la-rose , if you have ever seen her post, any ways she was 28 at the time and i fell for her hook line and sinker.
beautiful blond women who had a lot going for her but i could not understand all the hate she displayed. She never turned it onto me, not violently like she has other guys, but she did brake my heart. For the most part when i seen it being turned on to her boys, mainly one of them, by constantly ridiculing him and then encouraging the younger one to kick him in the nuts and saying shiit like how did that fill hu. That was enough for me. It was the worse experience in my life and i thought my divorce was bad ....... didn't hold crap compared to that.

Answer 9

I have, primarily in my romantic relationships with misled feminists (never again) and at the University of Minnesota in the early 90's in any "cultural" studies classes. I do hear men's sexist rhetoric in person, and it's more logic-based, but it indicates an ignorance/denial of the 30% (or maybe a little more) of women that don't contribute to the need for such rhetoric.

Answer 10

Yes.
I have been physically assaulted by anti-LGBT bigots. I have lost housing opportunities. I have been verbally assaulted.

All this is against the law, of course, but when law enforcement turns a blind eye. . . .
