Person 2: the one where the people in the server were being way too sensitive about the joke? That's called the dream smp effect, it also applies to this TikTok where this person is obviously faking DID but the people in the comments are too, so nobody is hating

Get the The Parlo Effect mug.The psychological phenomenon where people behave more openly, aggressively, or cruelly online than they would in person, due to factors like anonymity, invisibility, lack of immediate feedback, and the perception that online actions have no real‑world consequences. The effect explains why gangharassment, cliqueposting, and banlighting thrive: people feel freed from accountability, and the emotional weight of harming another person is muted by the screen. Understanding this effect is crucial to recognizing that online cruelty is not just “how people are” but a product of the environment.
Example: “He would never have screamed at someone in a coffee shop, but online he’d spent years coordinating harassment. The online disinhibition effect: the screen as permission slip.”
