Stop online hate
Social medias were meant to connect with people. Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp etc. But it has been changing into a place of hatred. Why?
Often we see a person being unnecessary trolled, abuses, threatened (rape/ acid attack/ murder) just because they post pics in short clothes, celebrating another religion's festivals, sharing pics with their friends or best friends from another gender, or with their partner (rumoured/confirmed).
Wasn't it expected that with coming years, people would get more open minded, more accepting? But where are we heading? Unnecessary cuss words, trolling, threats to life by rape, acid attack or murder. Why are we stooping so low?
Someone marries a person from another religion. Abuses, rape and murder threats. Recent example is some manager from Tanishq who is a Muslim woman married to a Hindu guy. Not only inter-faith marriages, it can happen in same faith marriages too. Do that couple need society's permission? As long as they have mutually consented to that relationship or marriage, and that relationship/marriage is healthy and non-abusive, society doesn't need to interfere.
Someone shares pic with their bestfriend from another gender (or even religion). Some cheap people comments cheap things. Bullies, abuses, judging the character of both, especially girl. Are you their family member? Even if you are a family member or relative, you don't have rights to comment such or try to tear that friendship apart. I have faced this too and had deleted that comment and blocked that account.
Someone posts pic in short or revealing clothes, which are 'inappropriate' for a section of society, gets abused, threatened. It is their body, their choice. They are not forcing anyone to wear what they are wearing. So chill. No one asked you to see it. Even if it's 'normal' clothes, some people will just find something to body shame that person in comments. If you don't like what they are wearing, don't see their post or block them. Do not abuse, troll or give them threats unnecessarily. This happens a lot, especially if one is a woman/girl (happen with boys and men too). Stop body-shaming and sl*t-shaming! A person is no one's property, and they deserve to be treated with respect (as long as they are not hurting someone, someone's ego excluded) as humans with emotions. Many people even go to extend of editing the pic into something inappropriate, disrespectful and dirty and spread it.
If a person shares a pic celebrating festival of other religion or even just a wish to people celebrating that festival, many people go mad. Abuses, threats and trolls, mostly from people of their that person's own religion. How people have turned so intolerant in terms of religion? Why spread this religious hate? Where has the secularism gone? That person isn't forcing you to celebrate that festival or follow that religion. If you are spreading this hate in comments and DMs and calling yourself religious, I am sorry but you don't even know the basics of religion, being religious and follower of god (of your religion) is far away thing. No holy books promote to spread hate against another religion and people from same/another religion. I am not any religious person, but I know this much. Due to action of people like you, the whole community and religion gets defamed. Avoid doing it. Just stop it!
Even if some person does some good cause for the society, spreads awareness and all, there are people who will try to demotivate that hard working person too. Can't do anything themselves, but will try to pull others down. Abuses, threats and troll that person or group too.
If you are one who spread such negativity, it shows your character, not about the person or group whom you are abusing, trolling and threatening. If you are posting rape threats in comments or DMs, it makes you look like a potential rapist (which you possibly could be, else you wouldn't had posted it). Same goes for murder threats. Abusing don't make you look any cool. Its just degrading and not cool.
If you are the one facing all this, I can feel it. Possible solutions are to block and report that account, or just turn off comment section as whole. Even if you have done nothing wrong, they will try to pull you down cause they can't reach your level and are jealous of you. They cant be happy, so pulling down others too. Not everyone will like you and it's perfectly fine. As the famous saying goes (I don't know who quoted it)- "Never wrestle with a pig. You just get dirty and the pig enjoys it."
