Tbh in my early RP days (not even on this account, but with another nation) I probably had some very sociopathic characters simply because I wasn’t very good. Maybe they’re just new, hopefully

I dunno, I have some great sociopath/psychopath characters, so being a sociopath doesn't make the character bad. I'll share a post or two if you want.

Well that’s intentional sociopathy. My case was having a character reacting to death by torture by joking and laughing. Not great.

I mean, being a sociopath online has at least some correlation to real life, I’d think.

Then again, the average internet user is kinda terrible.

Only one of my characters has any sort of sociopathic tendencies, though I would not call them a full blown sociopath.

True, but this isn’t a real life situation, so preceding should be fine (as long as you don’t state your full address and health problems)

But I agree with your second statement. That anonymity gives people comfort to say and act like however they wish.
