So I made the mistake of going to /mlp/ just for the hell of it.

FUCK THOSE CYNICAL ASSHOLES TO HELL.  I honestly don't care if they're just jerking off and don't mean half of the nasty shit they say.  Since when did it become cool to be a douchebag that had zero standards as to what crosses the line?

Since people decided that their own fun/self-righteousness was more important than other people's emotions.

Or, basically, since prehistoric times.

Since the first Homo heidelbergensis made a joke about someone from another clan getting eaten by a saber-tooth.  It's just that the internet gives people a shield to be horrible dicks.

One of those rare moments when I miss exalt buttons. This sums it up so beautifully.

Or, and forgive me for paraphrasing TMNT, "they care nothing for you, or the people they hurt."

Quote
Research on the effects of early mal-
treatment, including the work of my
colleagues and myself at McLean Hospital
in Belmont, Massachusetts, appears to tell
a different story: that early maltreatment,
even exclusively psychological abuse, has
enduring negative effects on brain develop-
ment. We see specific kinds of brain abnor-
malities in psychiatric patients who were
abused as children. We are also beginning
to understand how these abnormalities may
account directly for the personality traits
and other symptoms that patients manifest.

If you read far enough into the studies it, and so many like it, explain how the victim is unable to develop proper coping mechanisms for abuse because their pathways were overloaded at a young age. These types of people are likely to be victimized their entire lives because they lack proper social response. And a true bully can easily pick out one of these easy victims, mutilate their psyche, and then manage to get the victim blamed for the bully's behavior. Cyberspace has just given these kids of bullies a new platform for hunting out victims.

tl;dr Until cyberbullying is treated with the proper gravity it deserves we will see more cases like this.

Okay, who wants the soapbox now?

"Crug's mom so fat she get mating calls from wooly mammoths."
History is full of maniacs, my friend, men and women of intelect, highly perceptive individuals, who's brilliant minds know neither restraint nor taboo. Such notions are the devils we must slay for the edification of pony-kind. Even if said edification means violating the rules of decency, society, and rightousness itself.

"Gronk's clan is so dump that they still don't know how to bang two rocks together to make music and bang a rock against own head."

Seriously though, anyone who claims that bullying is harmless or that kids should just toughen up and tolerate the bullies deserve a kick to the hurty bits.
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!
