Are you afraid of Newgrounds?

[Michaelas10]

Are you afraid of posting a thread where you get flamed? Are you looking over your posts to make sure they have nothing stupid in it to avoid the possibility of someone giving you an offensive remark? Do you generally feel like the people here have the potential to actually hurt you, in case you're not careful enough?

[Gagsy]

I fucking hope no one is afraid to speak their minds here. It's just the internet after all. If you worry about how others see you on here then you just care too much and need to step back.

[Generalissimus]

No, I reply however I want. I could care less what people think.

[WeHaveFreshCookies]

Yes I am. Sometimes, I've been known to post without thinking, and boy do I regret it.

[SlayerofDragonKings]

There's no use in being afraid of fear itself. I see no point since it's my choice to be here and it provides entertainment to my daily life..

[alucardxmeow]

I could care less about a reply from someone I don't even know in real life.

I don't, lol. I just see people here who seem to withhold their opinion in fear of getting flamed.

That'd be me. But it's mostly my ever-changing opinions and personalities. Sometimes I like to step back and listen to everyone else, and sometimes I want to get in there, tell everybody what I think, and fuck you if you don't like it.

Ah, well that's simply them not wanting to cause a flaming battle, which just end up boring and repetitive, until someone gives up or the thread gets locked.

[Akkryls]

I used to be... Rarely ever posted on the BBS...

Now? Meh... I'm an asshole... Not as much as some people, but enough to be thick skinned...

[thatoneguyfromDD]

I'm not afraid of some text, no

[BrainlessDan]

Nope, i really could care less what people think of me.

No.

[Brass]

I really couldn't give the slightest fuck about someone thinking negatively about me because of a post on the BBS.

[ngman7]

These forums are relatively TAMER than some of the other places I've been on, like the G4tv.com forums, or the Adultswim.com forums, or animeforum.com forums.

[Reckon]

I don't care in this forum but in another one it's very dangerous.

No, I don't have many fears, reservations or insecurities. I am, what they would call, a "winner."

[Achromatic]

I lurk most of the time, and I often take time to think about what I'm posting and if it really matters. Sometimes I'll write something up and just leave the page without posting it. I don't exactly care what other people think about my posts, I just usually think twice about what I'm saying. I lack the ability to really speak up, even here.

[ngman7]

I am not afraid and many times I don't give a crap what negative things people say.

Every once in a while i'll start writing a post, look at it, and think "Ahh fuck it.", and i click back. Reason being, not because of fear of what someone will think of me, but the feeling i get that, this post is probably going to start some shit that i don't want to deal with today.

Every once in a while, there's that one post that really gets to you (And i know this is true for everyone). It may not be directed at you, but whatever the content of the post, the reaction is always "Seriously...was that necessary? What the fuck?". And that bad mood feeling tends to linger for a while. Unfortunately people do take shit seriously and/or too far sometimes, and someone can and will get emotionally hurt.

Hey guys I like The Jonas Brothers, I am so cool, you guys are going to looove me.

[TheGanja]

So what if you offend someone, it ain't like there gonna jump out your screen and kill you. Might rape you a little, but they won't kill you.

[GeneralAC]

Personally I don't give a fuck if someone insults me in real life or on the internet, It just doesn't matter.
In real life all I get insulted about is my hair, I have had it all my life. My hair is impossible to manage so I stopped caring. If anyone was to be afraid to post on the internet that makes no sense because none of us know you.

[Pokemonpoeguygcn]

No
"Whateva, I do what I want!"

[GeoPowa]

No. . . not at all...

No. Because one, I'm in Iraq, and two, if they do journey all the way to this shit country. I've got a loaded weapon and about 40 pounds of body armor. And even then, I ride around in a Stryker, that rolls with another ICV Stryker and an MGS Styker. And they all have dudes with guns!
