A broader version of the “Playing Discord” mentality, applied to platforms like X/Twitter, Reddit, Instagram, and TikTok. It describes the attitude that social media interactions are not real—that harassment, doxxing, and mobbing are just “playing,” and victims should simply log off if they can’t take it. This mentality allows perpetrators to avoid accountability by dismissing their own actions as unserious while treating the harm they cause as the victim’s problem. It is a common justification for gangharassment and cancel campaigns.
“Playing Social Media” Mentality Example: “After they drove her off the platform, they celebrated in private chats: ‘She’s so dramatic, it’s just Twitter.’ Playing social media mentality: treating destroyed lives as entertainment.”
