The internet redeems itself by rallying around bullied deaf and blind 'Counter-Strike' player

Justice is served!

Twirch chat raids are amazing

[kaizokuspy]

Meh

[NotoriousWhiz]

The Internet would be a better place with two things:

1) No anonymity, all accounts are tied to your real life name.
2) No ability to search for things people have done on the net. This way no one can learn of the activities you choose to keep secret, unless they also partake in said activities.

And if there wasnt such a thing as streamers.
Good on the kid or w/e for doing him but streamers suck.

[MeteorPanda]

Wait why do streamers suck? I watch twitch instead of tv now...

[NecoTehSergal]

Grow up. All of it is replacing TV since TV and Hollywood became bloated and full of shills and Liberal propaganda. Get used to it, things like Youtube and people/shows on demand in such ways are the future.

[Mithan]

Bull crap.

Proper parenting and supervision and teaching useless kids to grow up into proper adults who have morals, ethics and values would avoid this thing. Anonymity doesn't have anything to do with it unless there is a threat of action against one and it isn't like using a real name is going to prevent this, look at Facebook and tones of real life issues.

[PurpHerbison]

Anonymity plays a major role.

[NotoriousWhiz]

Agreed. Proper parenting also solves those problems, but we can't control other people. We can control how the Internet works.

Anonymity on the other hand is huge. There is a reason that cyber bullying is far more prevalent than real life bullying.

I've gotten plenty of death threats on the Internet, but none in real life. I wonder why...

[EatCrow]

You forget.
Daddy gov't will be educating our kids from now on. Cuz parents are all bigots,etc.
Families are the first defense against government brainwashing and indoctrination.

Good parenting would definitely make the world a better place. But there are too many systems out there that encourage lack of responsibility and facing consequences of your actions.

[Eonjay]

Point one yes. Point two not so much for privacy from emploers and what not.

[Ashlen]

So basically what your saying is you want to live in China?

[Vegamyster]

Good on him and those backing him up.

[BadElf]

Trying to make "news" I see

[ThePresentIsAgift]

Nice to see a positive story, that guy is amazing and I thought I had it tough growing up. It's a powerful and sobering story that gives me a renewed vigour to continue fighting for that which I desire in life and to continue to treat others with humility whenever possible.

[medman]

Very happy for the kid. He seems really appreciative of all the donations and support....I wish him luck for the future.

[drunkenspy007]

The internet.... like it's one group of people or an entity upon itself. I love such nonsense think.
