Cyberbu//y (2011)

This movie was hella dumb. Like anytime I'm on Tumblr and I see that screencap of Tyler, the Creator's twitter saying something how cyberbullying doesn't exist you just need to log off or something (but like more horribly put and in ALL CAPS), I roll my eyes because that's mad insensitive and dismissive and the internet is real life. But lol ummmmmm I kinda felt that way when I was watching this? Like, bitch, just log off??? 

Maybe because it was a cheesy ABC Family movie so I couldn't take it seriously?? So okay, this mess stars Haley Joel Osment's less ugly and bloated little sister Emily. She plays some high school bitch named Taylor. I watched this movie like two months ago smh so I forgot everything but...they have some Fake Myspace/Facebook type thing in the universe of this movie, where you can put up messages and videos or whatever blah blah.  

Taylor gets a message from some random dude on the Fake Myspace thing, and it's like obvious right away it's a Catfish lol smh. Omg I forget everything that happens I'm screaming. Someone...posts...something bad about Taylor on the Fake Myspace thing. Omg I am screaming because I am truly forgetting everything. Oh, I think the first thing that was posted was by her brother, right? Doesn't Taylor initially think it's the Mean Squad at school? So whatever her brother gets in trouble and that's brushed aside. But then...I think the Catfish dude posts something bad about Taylor and things spiral out with all this shit being posted about her on the site blah blah idfk lol I just remember thinking how dumb it was playing out in the movie. Like the minute I started getting harassed online I would just remove myself from it. Like okay people wanna play games that's fine and keep it moving. But I'm an Aquarius lol Taylor prob was some dramatic ass Gemini or Aries. Or like any Fire sign. 

Like she would be all up on the computer obsessing about the messages being written about her. And most of them were really cheesy, like, Canadian insults. Lol omg Taylor is such a kiss slut lol or whatever. I do think they started a rumor that she had the herp or something. I think the Catfish dude wrote that lol then Taylor's crush at school started distancing himself from her. Like in the beginning of the movie he asked her to homecoming or prom or whatever but then later reneged I wanted to scream.

CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW TAYLOR ALREADY BASICALLY HAD A BOO AT SCHOOL BUT STARTED FLIRTING WITH THAT CATFISH DUDE ONLINE, GETTING ALL HYPE? That's what her ass get! lol nah it's good to play the field when you're young, BUT LET'S DEFINITELY TALK ABOUT HER HATING ASS FRIEND, SAMANTHA, played by Disney icon Kay Panabaker. Can't name one thing I have seen Kay Panabaker in--WAIT, SUMMERLAND, RIGHT? SHE WAS IN SUMMERLAND? REMEMBER SUMMERLAND?? Lol remember Jesse McCartney? Is he dead? Sigh, I hope.

Would my blog be considered cyberbulling? There's truly no need to be coming for Jesse McCartney like that. What has he ever done to anyone? And Keith is one of my favorite movies of all time. Have you ever seen Keith? It's like Twilight but replace vampires with cancer. Um, and spoiler alert, btw...

Anyway! Smh, Taylor has this hatin ass friend named Samantha whom I pegged as the culprit behind the Catfish and the hate messages I think right away, before they threw that red herring of her brother in. I don't remember if this was supposed to be a mystery thriller lol with the audience trying to figure out who was anonymously disparaging Taylor, but I do know that it took a while to ~reveal~ it was Samantha. 

Samantha was hating so hard RIGHT A FUCKING WAY when the movie started because Taylor had a little thing going with Scott. Samantha was on some ALL MEN ARE DOGS type shit, telling Taylor that it was guaranteed Scott would eventually hurt her. Like damn, who hurt you? You're like fifteen lol like damn what's going on. We get some little backstory--Omg, like the tiniest glimpse of Samantha's life--and I guess she has a workaholic dad who doesn't pay attention to her? Ummmmmm lol, so? No, like, that sucks? But it's hard for me to understand...or like accept that's why this little girl is so bitter. Like she is out here acting like some fifty year old woman who's been ran through. Her character and backstory and everything didn't ring exactly true to me. But she's white, I don't understand white people lol so maybe it makes sense.

Samantha's dumb, hatin' ass drives Taylor to a suicide attempt and please understand about me that I was cackling at this movie THE ENTIRE TIME it was on, and yet? Not labeled as a comedy. Huh. 

It was so...funny to me when at the hospital Taylor's mom asked Samantha if she knew what was going on with her daughter, why had she tried to kill herself? And fucking Samantha acted like all this wasn't completely her doing. It was just entirely killing me how far she was going to troll her friend, so much so that she tries to take her own life lol like. Like it's not funny, but if you watch this, it kind of is??? Like she just kept it going. You're no one's friend. This bitch is on some complete psychopath shit, but I got a strange feeling from the movie that they were almost trying to sympathize with Samantha? Lol, no. Because this shit is real, and people really do kill themselves over stuff like this. Yes it was hilarious in the film, but in real life, I woulda beat Samantha's fucking ass for putting me through all that stress cuz her ass was jealous and weird. 

I still feel Taylor shoulda just hopped her ass off the computer. Or opened another tab at least. Like I don't really have cyberbulling experience, because, no offense, I don't entertain that shit. Cyberbulling to me is someone hacking my paypal account or something lol like post all the hate messages about me that you want just don't fuck with my coin. What do I honestly look like caring if you write that I have herpes? Bitch, that just means I get the d!! (I don't at all smh). Taylor shoulda just kept it moving when the harassment first started, BUT, AND HOWEVER, what's important to remember is that everyone does not deal with things the same way. I am someone who does not get fazed easily which is not me bragging I think I just have a lot of chips missing in my brain lol, but others have different emotional and mental responses, so it's not exactly fair to be like Log Off! or Get Over It! or It's Not That Serious, There Are More Imperative Things To Worry About! or whatever the usual dismissive rhetoric is. Coming from a completely insensitive person lol like, people need to be kinder and more understanding, or the fucking Holocaust will happen again (wait, does this sound like I'm a nazi-Sympathizer??). Putting aside the whole genocide deal for a second, do y'all remember the horrid concentration camp garb? I'm not wearing, like, wool pyjamas. Seems scratchy and uncomfy. Let's not play ourselves like that!! 

Waitwaitwait!! BUT REAL QUICK CAN WE TALK ABOUT TAYLOR'S OTHER FRIEND THAT MULATTO OR MAYBE INDIAN GIRL AND HOW SHE STOPPED FUCKING WITH TAYLOR BECAUSE PEOPLE AT SCHOOL STARTED TALKING SHIT TO HER BECAUSE OF TAYLOR AND SHE GOT ALL SHOOK LIKE "THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE!"??!,! I WANTED TO DIE THAT WAS SO FUCKING FUNNY SHE CRUMBLED

This movie was really bad...
