Pixel Balls
The phenomenon where a player in an online game such as World of Warcraft or Runescape can act bolder, tougher and sometimes with more "swag" than would in real life, in which they would never outwardly act in such a way.
This may involve (pre)teenagers acting in a similar bully fashion that they face everyday.
This also may go past the online gaming of online activity, to various forums, and social media sites where people can be anonymous, and they can say something bold, idiotic, or radical that they would be too scared to say in real life and back up, such as political views, or takes on current events.
