Internet Tough Guy – The phrase internet tought guy refers to anyone, not just men, who makes threats of physical violence over the internet. Whilst it can refer to general threats such as “I will ruin you”, it is more accurate to only refer to those who make more physical threats, including ones of sexual violence. The vast majority of threats made over the internet, especially those about attacking someone, have no basis in reality. The person making the threat will not go through with it and by making the threat will nomally have made themselves the subject of mockery in a thread. If you have made a threat to beat someone up over the internet for something they did online, then you have been an internet tough guy, and as impressive as you may have thought you were, people laughed at you for it. There are plenty of examples of this on the internet, and below is a common internet tough guy copypasta:
Navy Seal Copypasta:
What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.
