Hi participant 2, could you tell me specifically where you were cyberbullied? and what you mean't when you say it made you 'feel bad all day'?

[participant 2]

I have been cyberbullied on dota 2 through team chat and all chat. It made me feel insecure and a bit of anger throughout the day. However, i would be able to sleep it off.

Hi Participant 2, you say that you have witnessed cyber-bullying on games like dota 2. I wanted to know if you knew the cyberbully. The gender of the bully and victim. tactics that the cyberbully used on other and lastly whether or not you did anything about it.

I also wanted to know if you have ever bullied someone online before? If you have, where did you bully them? Why did you bully them? How did you bully them? What was their gender?

Participant 1, you say that you have seen cyber bullying on most social media channels in the comment section. Can you point out whether or not you knew who the cyberbullies were, the gender of the bullies and the victims, as well as the tactics used by the bully? Lastly, did you do anything about it after being a witness?

I also wanted to know if you have ever bullied someone online before? If you have, what was their gender? where did you bully them? Why did you bully them and how did you do it?

[participant 2]

The gender of the bully was male. The tactics he used was cursing the other player on the mic and constantly making fun of a younger player. They were both male. I didn't do anything about it. I just muted the bully because he was annoying and toxic.
I have bullied someone online before for bullying me first. I bullied them through dota 2 with my friends and we bullied him because he was toxic. We bullied him by cursing him and making fun of him on the mic together just like any other bullies. The victim was a male.

[Participant 1]

I have seen cyber bullying on celebrity social media channels, not so much with people who I personally know. I watch a lot of beauty guru's on YouTube so the bully's are generally female who critique and comment on the guru's appearance and lifestyle choices. I did not do anything after witnessing this cyber bullying as I do not know the bully or the victim.

I have personally never cyber bullied anyone before.
