Anyone who has spent a good amount of time on the internet or social media has likely experienced some unpleasant interactions with strangers online. Thanks to online anonymity and the internet\u2019s ease of access, it\u2019s become easier than ever for people to receive harassment online. Arguably, content creators and influencers often suffer the brunt of online harassment the most. As such, it can be a profession where creators need to have thick skin and effective ways to combat online trolls and bullies. Recently, popular Twitch streamer and content creator Asmongold made a lengthy video to talk about his experience with online harassment over the years as well as give advice to those who may experience similar situations in the future. Asmongold weighs in on online harassment On February 17, 2023, Asmongold released a 25-minute video titled \u201cHow I Deal With Harassment on the Internet.\u201d The streamer opened up the video by saying that it\u2019s \u201cno secret that a lot of people have been harassed online recently,\u201d and wanted to offer advice based on his own experience. Though not directly stated, Asmongold was likely referring to the recent Hogwarts Legacy controversy that has engulfed Twitch following the game\u2019s release, which the content creator recently spoke out about. He opened his video by acknowledging the \u201cunfortunate paradox\u201d or \u201cCatch-22\u201d of creating online content, in that people should not pursue making content online if they are not prepared to deal with harassment, but harassment is something that should not happen online to begin with. The first piece of advice Asmongold gives is to properly categorize people\u2019s feedback online. The WoW veteran noted that \u201cpeople not thinking the same thing you do is not them harassing you,\u201d but affirmed that hurtful comments about physical appearance or troll comments are examples of feedback that should be disregarded. Another piece of advice that Asmongold gives is to recognize that there is a difference between who you are online versus the person offline. \u201cWhenever you take criticism [online] I think it\u2019s important to kind of create an effigy of who you are online\u2026 People attack the person you are online\u2014not necessarily you.\u201d Asmongold\u2019s full video takes a much deeper dive into this complicated online reality and it\u2019s clearly a subject he\u2019s passionate about. Those interested in content creation or the online social space should give the video a watch for some thoughtful advice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
