I remember back in the day when the app ask.fm was relevant. The memories haven’t faded much since then, memories of sudden adolescent boldness and cowardice alike. It stands today as the precedent of online anonymity and its effectiveness to me. Of course, it wasn’t very effective, as it was initially advertised as a fun and flirty app, and swiftly shifted into grounds for bullying, drama, and high emotions. The thing is, the victim of abusers on ask.fm had the power to let the abuse show or not by answering the questions, which simultaneously gave them the power to feed bully’s. While I’m totally over the subject of trolling now and its perpetual repetitiveness, I now stir the argument that maybe the victim seeks attention sometimes, because I think I’ve said everything else possible.
