Ryan Higa Quotes

The Internet is a bastion of negativity, and we get to sit there and voice our cute, little, important opinions.

There is no easy way to get around horrible people on the Internet, and it's either just leave it or don't and get sucked into the whirlwind of it all.

The good and bad thing about online trolling: it's not on the street, and it's not on the street! The good: nothing physical erupts; the bad: there are no brakes to stop it.

I have countless fake accounts on social media sending me hate and it's hard to discern how many people are actually involved.

Unfortunately there are some not-so-nice people using social media, and that has proven to be complicated for other actors that I've known.

Everybody's like, 'Who hurt you? I'm like, 'The Internet.'

I feel everybody gets trolled. There is no one who hasn't got trolled on social media. I guess trolling has become norm of social media where people enjoy belittling everybody.

I think that social media has really empowered bullies because you get to do it from the comfort of your own home, completely anonymously, with no ramifications.

With cyberbullying, one press of a finger on an electronic device can shatter someone's reputation and what they think is their entire life. It's scary.

Unfortunately, there is a lot of abuse and negativity online.

The Internet has become a tool to pick on people and ruin someone's life. I don't think parents realize what's going on. Just because you're not at school doesn't mean kids aren't harassing you on the computer.

There's so much bullying, and there's so much negativity on social media.

Frankly, I don't want to let trolls into my life.

There are things that people say that hurt my feelings or whatever, especially with social media right now. It can be the most amazing thing, and it can also be the most negative and detrimental thing.

Every day, I get five pieces of hate mail: Tweets or hate emails.

No matter what you do, you're going to run into haters online. We're not talking about ordinary, disgruntled customers who should be addressed with empathy and understanding. Haters are a breed apart.

To me, it is not necessarily you responding that trolls want: they want to scare, they want to intimidate, and they want to silence people - so ignoring it doesn't make a difference.

That's what Twitter is: a very negative place.

I know that social media's said to be a really dangerous place, and it is.
