The social media space has become free of age boundaries, which in turn has led to an *influx of *trolls, according to Faraci. A 14-year-old could be arguing with an adult on the internet, and the latter would never know it, even if the teenager’s profile picture was a Pokémon. Adults aren’t above getting into the *fray, either – just follow any celebrity’s Twitter account and you’re bound to come across a popcorn munching-worthy exchange sooner or later. “If celebrities and politicians – who aren’t so very different these days – are constantly taking the negative path, it can feel like the status quo, the way things are done, an acceptable way to act,” says Kate Erbland, film editor at Indiewire.com.

法拉奇认为，社交媒体并无年龄的界限，而这也带来了大量恶意挑衅的帖子。一名14岁的少年可以在网上和一位成人发生争执，而后者却对此一无所知，即便这位少年的头像是只“宠物小精灵”。而成年人之间也无法免于争吵——只要随意关注一位名人的推特账号，不久你便会看到一场好戏。“如果名流政客们——时至今日已他们不再与众不同——总是消极待世，人们便会觉得，这种现状、这种处事方式，是一种可接受的行为方式，”Indiewire.com 网站的电影编辑凯特•厄兰说道。

So do we just all need to hug it out?

所以，我们仅仅是需要拥释前嫌吗？
