I have never believed in "cyberbullying" unless it's a very serious or real case. So simple things like saying kys means nothing to me and never really has. Am i in the wrong for thinking like this?

Kill yourself

Like in-person bullying, one single incident is generally not a serious problem. But when it becomes persistent, a group effort, when people are excluded socially, when people are unable to use social media without seeing threats or insults, then it becomes a serious problem. Just staying off the internet (which is a common repsonse to someone saying that they're being bullied) is not a viable solution, because of how deeply social media is now ingrained into our lives, especially the lives of young people.

Not OP but why don't they just go to another site then or block people?

Sometimes that works. Sometimes not.
If the bully is persistent, they'll create other accounts to get around the block. Over and over. If that person is part of an online community, they can sometimes get dozens or even hundreds of people to overwhelm the person. Blocking doesn't do shit in that case. (Chan communities are known for this, just saying)

I remember when that guy blew up back in 2008
I steered clear of it ever since only paying attention to it when he actually did crazy things
I am depressed knowing that I share a reality with degenerates who made a wiki, a (still active) subreddit and a documentary about some miserable autists life

Would you tell someone to kill themselves in person?
Remember that sites like this desensitise you, not everyone has been desensitised.
