A term which is used to describe a "new breed of idiots which use the internet to mud-sling people who actually have lives and careers" e.g. calling someone a failure because they are not hugely successfully or bullying someone for the way they dress - Mandy Lion(Vocalist) -WWIII, Wicked Alliance.
Today, as I sat here scrolling through Instagram (the media outlet that leave people wishing other lives) on my phone. I came across a video of a YouTuber i follow, which briefly shows her dancing and informing her followers to check out her new makeup tutorial video on her YouTube page,
Naturally, the post received a flood of comments and likes, people commenting on how nice and different it is to her normal videos, bigging her up, all of that good stuff, but scrolling further down i saw the last comment which caught my attention simply because it involved the words
"You don't know her in real life, but you want to tell her what to do..."I SENSE BEEF! BEEF! BEEF!......

Anyway, I opened all the comments to find the culprit causing such rage. What could she have said that so many people just want to end her over the internet, Poor thing!. Needn't i say the least, my emotions went from 0 to 100 real quick. I was furious at her comment. Infact, gobsmacked wasn't even the word for it, it was way beyond that. My thoughts exactly were "Really? Seriously, the world could be better without you barking at her from your moral high horse. Telling her what she should be doing and what isn't working for her,whilst sitting in front of your computer screen, and calling it a critique,simply because you( said follower) had watched her for years. It didn't end there, said YouTuber came back at her with fighting words, and then said follower had the audacity to get mad when she fired back with fighting words, calling her unprofessional and unable to deal with criticism.
This made my mind question why on God's green earth, would a person assume it is their position to go around telling another human being they don't know from Adam how to be a better person or act even. Who are you to decide what works for another person or "critique" another's hustle?, and then feel like you have a sense of entitlement to make such comments because of you have "been watching and following her channel for years" , and get mad when she slam-dunk's you for your utterly illogical comment
Seriously?
Hiding behind a computer, posting comments about "light criticism".
She didn't ask for your opinion or "critique" keyboard warrior. So don't be mad when rebuffed with harsh remarks.People don't have to thread on eggshells, simply because you don't agree with their actions, perspective or behaviors. Quit bashing, it won't make a difference.
On that note, this article has to be the most ironic thing yet, as i have just become a keyboard warrior myself ,bashing "Keyboard warriors" sitting on my sofa furiously typing away.
Oops?!...
I guess this is what Nietzsche meant when he said

It's all banter anyway
