It's not enough to say we're "against violence;" we have to stand for non-violence. Violence is more than overt physical attack. Psychological & emotional violence are also violence. Adults getting bullied on the Internet is as much a problem as kids getting bullied at school.

No. Adults should have the emotional capacity to deal with someone online that they never met saying mean things, if they can鈥檛, then get off of the internet. It鈥檚 not even close to children being bullied in person. Insanely dumb take.

The violence committed by the State is much worse than journalists being rightfully bullied for lying.

There is no such thing as psychological or emotional violence. Violence is by definition physical. Find a different word so people that suffer being physically maimed and killed aren't degraded your word salad attempt to promote ITGs to physical attackers.
