Keyboard Warriors

Everyone who uses the internet is a keyboard warrior, we all have different personas and have the ability to create a new image of ourselves on the internet. Why do I use the term keyboard warrior?  “The Keyboard Warrior seeks to use the power imbued in his ‘weapon’ to effect death and destruction (in a strictly-metaphorical sense) upon his foes (other virtual identities he has encountered on the internet). In essence, the keyboard (ie. text input ability) allows the keyboard warrior to manifest his true warrior nature in a safe and removed environment, from which no real-life repercussions .” Via the world wide web all of us are safely tucked behind our computer screens and spinning images and tales of ourselves. What we want other to see is not necessarily what goes on in reality. Yet, it provides us an alternative route. Another form of redemption, to save ourselves from showing everyone the realities of what goes on in our actually very mundane life. This is what the internet has made of us – Keyboard warriors.
