the strict standards a lot of the internet held people to.

Big time. Like during my earlier days in the Fire Emblem fandom, some of the old guard were elitist as fuck when it came to people's fanfics and projects and RP. Like they'd say "this fandom could use some quality control" as an excuse for snarking other people's fics, shittalking my friend because she was 16 and had over the top off the wall story ideas, making fun of journal RPs because the RPers "didn't have any talent".

(Yet if they got picked on they'd complain about THEIR hurt feelings. Go figure.)

But yeah, "it's the internet" is not an excuse for public bashing and humiliation of other people.
