Online hate has become an undeniable part of the internet; it’s something we’re all familiar with already because you don’t have to be a celebrity to be hated on. Everyone’s experiencing it nowadays. Even the most innocent comment can turn into a huge hate fest because someone, somewhere will find a way to get offended by it or misinterpret it, making it offensive to them.
The best thing to do is to try your hardest to ignore these comments because once you react to them, you feed the trolls even further, and they will keep going forever.
Some people really do go out of their way to be awful.
