Internet Badass

An Internet Badass is similar to the Internet Gangsta.

They are someone who uses the internet so they can appear tough, they are often seen getting in pointless Nerd Wars, they tend to threaten somebody with physical violence, saying things like "I'll kick your ass!" When in reality, they are the kid in your class that sits at their desk quietly and reads Naruto comics.

The sad thing is, this is the only life for some people, they can't pull it off in reality, so they think they can get some "Internet Respect" by cussing at people on Myspace, Youtube comments, or a forum, they think by doing this, people think of them as a Badass.

A person that takes a problem that they have with a person or group of people onto the internet(facebook). This problem they may have with the person or group of people could have begun in person or they could just start the problem on the internet. An "Internet Badass" will say very little if anything at all in person to the person or group of people that they have the problem with. They dont feel comfortable saying anything unless its on the internet(facebook). "Internet Badass" also covers people that deal with there problems with a person or group of people through texts and phone calls. Most of society would refer to these people as "Bitches" and that they certainly are.

An affliction that causes people to say things to people over the distance of an Internet connection that, if they ever DARED to say to a person in a face-to-face conversation, would likely result in them getting knocked on their ass and maybe a trip to the hospital, but behind the safety of their monitor where nobody can physically touch them, they can behave like complete and utter shitbirds with no consequences, because as we all know, the Internet isn't real, of course, and the person you're mouthing off to isn't a real human being, with emotions of their own.

It is closely related to the similar affliction that causes people to become total sociopaths when behind the wheel of a car, where they are similarly safe from physical retribution.
