Current Events > Did you ever have a bully on this site?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Someone who you felt it was their mission to make you feel bad about yourself? And no matter what, you couldn't really do anything about it?

There's only one person I would say was a "bully" to me. Sure, I had a lot of hate thrown my way, but that was my own doing. And it wasn't Brutai either despite them sending me mass pm's and calling me an alt of another user despite the fact that I wasn't. He was just too... peculiar for me to care beyond feeling a little creeped out by him at times.

She no longer is around and hasn't been since 2018 as far as I'm aware. She closed her account, and I am not aware of any alts of hers. Still, during that short period we interacted, I can't say I cared for her.

@DocileOrangeCup constantly gives me atomic wedges and steals my lunchables

Just log off bro

I sincerely doubt anyone on this board is capable of saying anything bad to me that I haven't already thought about myself at some point.

Not a bully I guess but someone who really hated me and sent me nasty DM's.

yes but he got banned.

used to follow my posts back when history was public and called me loser 40 year old neet all the time. i was only in my lower 20s at the time tho >.<

They try, but it doesnt work

people definitely hold grudges and have been petty as fuck, and i won't lie, it chaps my ass how much shit people have gotten away with

I wish I did, handling bullies can be fun

I do have stalkers from 313 aka the UK board.

They follow me around like amorous teenagers, quite sad really.

Unlike the one I have in real life, the Venereal_Disease here eventually got bored and fucked off and went back to just being a douche to the general population instead of targeted attacks after it became clear that I wasn't having his shit.

This. I've had some cowards do the ol' "unblock then DM then reblock" thing, but I just laugh at those. If something I said rustled your jimmies enough to go through that trouble, I already won.

Yes. Lots of them.

I just lol and keep going. It's just a stranger on the internet >_>

Not really, no.

Yes, a long time ago. One of them is still around and does YouTube shit for a living.

A MAGA was banned for insinuating that I'd commit suicide when Biden would lose to Trump in 2020. It was somewhat detailed too.

I feel like I'm a common target for bullying on this site tbh.

All of you guys bully me in every thread

Never had anyone go into detail, have had two people tell me to kill myself on here, though, lol.

What drives a person to do such a thing, I'll never know.

Not that I can think of. There have been people I wasn't fond of but nothing on that level. That said I consider any sort of attention entertaining so trolling me probably isn't satisfying.

Oh yeah Scotty Rogers blocked me in one of his anime topics lol

Not really bullies. Meme sniffers who dogpile relentlessly.

Does it count as bullying when even the admins are constantly banning your accounts?

Yeah

A long time ago and it was strange.

He would copy my ASCII sig and make topics to the effect of "Hey look at me. For some reason all the site newbs like to follow me and worship me despite being a loser with no friends"

Dude was super jealous that nobody responded to him in the social topics, or made ATTN topics about him, or just generally ignored him. And i was made the object of his ire.

@Heartomaton stuffs me in lockers ;(

Not really

They were more like someone who was buttmad that I dared to express my opinions. So they would ping me in various topics and insult me

Who has my milk money?

A few, yeah. It doesn't take a lot to get to me, so they were mostly successful, but one in particular really managed to mess things up for me. I just wish I'd listened when other posters mentioned he'd done similar to them.

In the end, the ammo he used was what I gave him... So it was my fault anyway.

Can definitely think of a few.

Nah. I was a menace on that board. Any hate I got on that board was well-deserved.

Well you keep touching me in spite of my restraining order, and I'm getting sick of it.

Nope.
Nobody on Gamefaqs is smart enough to actually figure out a way to bully me.

But they don't even remember doing that.

You're here, talking about it years later

Not over a long period of time unless you count sneak disses and ignoring as bullying.

Do you know where you are? You're in the jungle baby! You're gonna dieeeeee!

He lost the battle and the war, much like you.

not that I remember

I wouldnt say bully but Ive definitely had my share of harassers.

Yeah, when I say bully, it definitely carries a different weight than harasser (not that harassers are good people). A bully is someone who has a certain level of power over you (whether it be through manipulation or knowing you won't fight back).

For instance, the person in my OP was well-liked by posters here, while I was hated. If she told me I couldn't do something or she'd mark me, I'd have to listen. On the other hand, if I told her to not include me in her activities I wanted no part in, she'd mock me and laugh at me, and do it anyways while other people would say I was having a meltdown. Every topic I'd try to make involving the community, she was there to make fun of me, attack me and my ideas, and derail them.

I literally couldn't do anything about it, and just had to hope she'd stop posting (which she did).

I'm not going to act like she's on the level that some people have described above such as stalkers, but she definitely made my experience on CE worse, and during a time when I was severely depressed, was someone who would trigger my depressive thoughts.

We would never

Back in the days. I think it was around 2001 when I was 11. Anyways I've been using GameFAQs for year or so under another account and as you know you have to be 13 to sign up. I kept that to myself until I revealed it to a friend at the time, I think he went by EndlessNightmare, and he threatened to expose that. I think I ended up giving my original account.

Reminds me of when I found a dime on the ground, and my best friend said if I didn't give it to him, he'd tell everyone about the time I bit him in the ribs during a wrestling match we were having.
