Just because it's the funny haha internet lego forum doesn't mean you can't be traumatized at a young age like you could anywhere else, especially considering the type of actually toxic personalities that the funny internet lego forum was allowed to harbor
I'm honestly sick and tired of seeing this excuse used in serious situations
I do not believe this.
I grew up here and registered an account when I was only 11 years old and I do not suffer any lasting mental consequences from my time here. I've had more than my fair share of what you might call "internet bullying" aka getting called mean things by hormone-raging high school teenagers as well as early run-ins with notable forum degenerates like Port. Developing thick skin is an expected and crucial part of growing up, soPhysician Prescribed Desoxyning that most contemporary internet dwellers lack.
Despite the forum's bad reputation I'd wager most children who grew up here ended up growing up into functional, well-adjusted adults anyway. The handful of people who end up mentally screwed are almost always either the result of bad relationships with their parents or already had some kind of pre-existing mental condition.
