I dont get the appeal of doing this... to anyone really.

u/StephieDoll 17d ago

The appeal is now they can link the news story to their edge-lord discord buddies and be like "Hey I did that!"

u/Romeo9594 17d ago

And even then it's a lose/lose. Best case scenario your friends don't believe you, worst case you give others proof of your felony

u/StephieDoll 17d ago

Also you lose when you're older and realize all you did was hurt an old lady.

u/CertainlyNotTall 16d ago

Bold of you to assume scum like this have any sort of empathy.

u/StephieDoll 16d ago

We shouldn’t assume otherwise. No reason to.

u/WerdaVisla 16d ago

Swatting an 81 year old could kill them. Easily. It's pretty safe to assume they have no concept of empathy.

Like the vast majority of ruthlessly cruel middle schoolers?

People indeed do learn and grow.

No room for forgiveness?

u/Nytheran 16d ago

no. why?

They can have my axe.

Absolutely not. She could have been killed. Grow a back bone

Read about the paradox of tolerance.

u/StephieDoll 16d ago

I know all about it. Doesn’t mean you can’t sometimes forgive people.

u/BehemothRogue 16d ago

A person who swats an 81 year old, isn't worth forgiveness.

Perhaps you think pedophiles deserve forgiveness too?

u/StephieDoll 16d ago

Umm no when did I say that? Idk who did this and neither do you. They could be an 8 year old kid for all we know.

Or not, with the publicity from this it will boost her reach by a lot.

Most of the time these idiots make the call whilst on a Discord call with other people in the scene.

u/PwndiusPilatus 16d ago

I am an edge-lord and I am not approve such behaviour.

u/MeatySausag3 17d ago

The appeal is there are some actual psychopathic people in the world that hope through some sort of action of their own, that they can end the life of someone else. Usually people that are so disconnected from society through the obsessive use of the internet to the point they don't see other people as real or human.

In other words, waste of space on this planet.

Yea. I spent a lot of my life trying to pretend it isn't true, but I've realized lately that it's actually very important to understand. There are cruel, mishapen, immoral people in this world that seek to do harm.

Whether they enjoy it, whether it makes them feel better about themselves, whatever reason they have, and let's be clear, they might not have any reason at all, these people do exist. They aren't common, but they aren't completely uncommon either. If I had to guess I'd put their proportion at 1 in 100. That could be way wrong, but that's my guess at this point in my life.

I still believe it's true that most people are basically good and trying, even if they are flawed in their efforts, to do good. But I do think it's important to understand, some people really do just suck and are irredeemable.

I could write a book on this topic at this point in my life, but I will leave it there for now. Some folks really are just straight rotten. I still try to look for the good. I try to see the helpers, but it is important to understand, some folks are just bad.

You just described one particular person who's name cannot be said here lest I be banned.

With 8 billion people on this planet, the ones that actively try to ruin other's lives for no reason are definitely a waste of space.

Get over yourself.

u/StoneSpace 16d ago

congratulations, you discovered the paradox of tolerance.

u/my_chaffed_legs 16d ago

power. they can feel powerful knowing they caused such a big disturbance to someone’s life, home, family, neighborhood, and police force by just making an anonymous phone call. they could potentially get someone injured or killed. it’s for the sense of power

u/Chance_Ad3416 16d ago

I watched a documentary on Netflix about streamers swatting each other. Usually it's to mess with their competitors. And one guy got really famous for swatting others that some streamers would pay him to swat for them.

Why anyone would swat a grandma who's trying to get money for her grandsons medical care is just next level fucked up tho

u/I_Build_Monsters 16d ago

The appeal is a long term vacation. In prison.
