Is the Internet like an RPG game?

[Betonova]

The Internet can be imagined as a Role Playing Game where your actions decide your fate, all based on how you really look at it.

The photos you post about yourself.
Information about yourself you choose to have on.
Fights you choose to pick with others for what reason.
Pull a dangerous prank on someone risking your legal freedoms.
Using words from text to speech, directing your fate online.
People you talk to online, influencing your fate.
How you stream yourself playing games or reacting.
Who you choose to fall in love with over the screen based on their avatar and what they turn out to be.
Posting your opinions in certain places.
Telling too much about yourself and your fantasies where all can see.
How you cry about what and to who you go to about it.
What website you are attached to and how you deal with it.
What you get angry at and how you choose to display it.
What annoys you and how you react to it.
Stories/Blogs you choose to upload and what it's about.

 

[Alec Benson Leary]

People treat their dumb social strata and self-indulgent microaggression causes like a life or death struggle when they don't have real problems in their cushy lives.

In that respect, it's kind of like a video game.

:autism: to the max.

Role playing games are intended as a model of actual life, so to whatever extent interacting with the internet is "like a roleplaying game" it's just the same as interacting with the actual world around you, which it is part of.
