CYBERBU//Y - ABC's Ridiculous Movie About Cyberbu//ying | Cynical Reviews 

The main character seemed to have the most legit hurtful things to say

Okay, milquetoast I had to look up. Mil-kay-toe-ast? Milky-toast? Nope. Milktoast. Never heard of it. Very apt, though.

Kimberly Elliott I was thinking the same thing though. I reread “milkytoast” at least 5 times

Milquetoast: somewhat archaic word, off the top of my head, it means bland or weaksauce. And now I just had to look up the etymology and it comes from almost exactly where I was expecting, but through an intermediary step I didn't see coming. Coined in 1924 to be the name of a comic strip character Caspar Milquetoast for the comic The Timid Soul, a meaningful name alluding to the food: milk-toast (literally toast in milk), i.e. kind of bland and insubstantial. Has more presence than an actual non-entity, but not by much.

Kimberly Elliott Toe-ast? Seriously?

Considering blocking and deleting never occurred to her I'd agree

Of course it is. It's a shit flick for dumb mothers to see and then force their kids to watch.

A film about cyberbullying made by people who've probably never been bullied was doomed to fail.

This movie would have ended so fast if she blocked the person. Or just didn’t let the things the people said get to her head.

Even if I didn't know what a Karen was, I'd still agree with you. This guy needs to work on his censoring.

@@cristinadona9091 [Copy-pasted off Wikipedia] In the English language, the word nigger typically is an ethnic slur used against black people, especially African Americans. Because it is considered extremely offensive, even if only mentioned and not used as a slur, it is often referred to by the euphemism "the N-word". It is also in use with a more neutral meaning among African Americans, primarily as nigga. The word originated in the 18th century as an adaptation of the Spanish word negro, a descendant of the Latin adjective niger, which means "black".[1] Over time it took on a derogatory connotation[2] and became a racist insult by the 20th century. Accordingly, it began to disappear from general popular culture. Its inclusion in classic works of literature has sparked controversy and ongoing debate.

ppl legit say that so i wouldn't even be surprised

@@eveleen. I am so surprised that this hasn't been banished and now hope it never is lol

Damn, she’s so rude and we’re supposed to sympathise with her?

@@jasperjazzie That’s exactly what I was thinking lol. :/ I opened this comment section expecting people to say “that’s true though” or some shit like that

It is even more funny because the mom was right that she shouldn't go on the website.

Literally agreed- this is how my mom is and although she gets paranoid I’ve never seen it as unreasonable since it literally makes sense Same with Taylor’s mom

@@sodaboi2154 yeah it's poorly done in the movie. you're meant to see the mom as unreasonable but if your teenage kid immediately spiraled and became suicidal within like a week of getting social media, it'd be pretty damn reasonable to just take the fucking laptop away

me and my sibs weren't allowed to use our real names or ages/birthdays at all. i used to think our parents were being waay overly cautious ("the crazy guy figured out who i am cause i told him my bday is junember 32nd? really dad? you don't get it at all!" kinda thinking) but now i am appalled by how easily some people share somethings about themselves.

I'm still kind of concerned about how she raised her daughter to have the emotional capacity of an 8 year old at 17 years old though

Why is, she is the one, saying the most mean shit, compared to everyone. It legit made her most insufferable.

Don’t we all? 😊

the only reason i go on fortnite and overwatch is to make squealers loose their shit, it's endlessly amusing.

Yeah I had my ex/exfriend threatened me, plus bullied me a lot ... Tried to ask for help from the school with a friend since it mostly happened there......yeahhhhh the school cop said it wasn't their job to deal with it(knowing that I was threatened) and the school itself wasn't doing much, if nothing at all. Lmao I hate school

That's what I thought, a lot of problems stem from Taylor, but her brother's at fault too in that moment, why would you do that to your sibling? And when they showed this movie to us in 8th grade we aaaaall thought Samantha had a thing for Taylor, so when the reason was revealed we all went ???

The brother was punished. He was grounded and he was there when the idiot couldn’t get the cap off.

This film could so easily be one of the greatest satires ever written, if they somehow acted less seriously.

The Room:Cyber bullying

You're absolutely right tbh

That would have been so much better.

I’d watch that movie.

Kinda reminds me of the prom to be honest.

Unfortunately, the target demographic of this movie don’t support the LGBTQ+ community...

She basically said "WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT BEING BULLIED, YOU HOMO!?"

R Nickerson so...the stench of ignorance and ignoring a classmate

Yeah, wtf? If she hasn't been a slut, why is it upsetting her so much? The gay guy is literally having his character destroyed and bullied for just being himself :'(

Well I only got 5 likes on my new insagram post, my boyfriend dosen't want me cuz I cheated, and I wear size 30 nikes.... MENS SIZE 30 NIKES! BEAT THAT! Alvso pros if you got some refrences

@@AFarmerCalledChicken that's a low blow for such a tall girl.

He should of been the main character in this movie. He's more sympathetic and deserves all the love from everyone

I honestly wonder if the movie was trying to make the point that gay people deserve to get bullied

@@applepieexplosion4030 given the attitudes of the time and the people behind the movie, i honestly wouldn’t be surprised for such callousness.

"PPPPFFFT what ever f- *GETS DISINTEGRATED*

I seriously said “you didn’t know social media has a block or delete button?!!! Get off the internet with that stupidity” lol

But... There are people who will not block people bc that's "rude" 🙄

Facts tho I’m 17 and I delete comments it’s not that hard to do can’t believe I found this movie as good and Taylor was so annoying and cared what others had to say about her

@@sasy1533 Ngl I rarely ever block people just cause I find it fun reading extremely stupid replies

@nek Jones probably not. I’ve seen a lot of dumb shit.

None of them are named Larry either because it's not 1955.

Attmay james is a common name unlike larry.

You’d be surprised

@@Attmay In primary school I literally had 3 guys named James IN MY CLASS, I don't even want to know how many were in the whole school. James is a really common name.

My name is James and I have three or four close personal friends named James from high school.

Damn skippy

There's an even better scene later in the movie where the mom basically spells it out that taylor is responsible for causing most of the trouble with her catty bitchy drama queening behavior online and the response taylor gives is absolutely priceless. Especially the expression on her face because you see for a split second that it starts to sink in then she retorts with "how can you say that this is my fault?".

@@Hammerhead547 She uses that excuse for everything... She: Hits brad and brad dumps her "HOW IS THIS MY FAULT!?!" She: Kills some dude's cat "HOW IS THIS MY FAULT" She: Guilt for murdering a random woman "HOW IS THIS MY FAULT?!" Fucking hell, running away, without the benefit of getting good at it.

Deleting social media is good advice. Belive me it has help me a lot

David Anthony Berrueco yeah I deleted half my social media and now I don’t get irritated by seeing really horribly disguised ads

And also, most of the time, even the person who gets joked about laughs too, or at least doesn't take everything that seriously. Its normal to get pissed off at first, but then after some time you brush it off by laughing about it

@@plague_doctor0237 Everyone jets joked about, not everyone gets bullied, there is a line between those too and bullying can go a little and a whole lot over said line.

@@plague_doctor0237 Hbomberguys newst video made the autism-communty proud; sadly, many have not 'noticed', as far as i can tell. I asked around and many dont even know Hbomberguy: Colour me shocked.

@@paranoidpiigs You started strong, Jesus

You are entitled to your own opinion, but for me she lost my sympathy when she said "Well. yeah but you really are gay. What they're saying about me isn't true."

@@rogue7723 Which she said after saying "how would you know". That sentence didn't lose her my sympathy, it earned her my animosity.

I pretty much lost it right there though I never cared for her anyway

It's honestly realistic though, being bullied Isolates you so much, once you get used to everyone hating you, it's really hard to accept it when someone is actually nice to you. It feels like everyone is out to get you, and everyone has other motives. It's not uncommon at all for bullies to use other kids as pons when they realize you won't give THEM a reaction anymore. So idk, this movie was shitty but realistic in other ways. Bullying fucks with your head.

you lost my sympathy when you tried to associate emotion or empathy to this hot pile of garbage instead of a movie that's at least somewhat decent.

Omfg so they took this serious case and made _this?_

@@r.j.penfold i know its so sad, Megan Meir died at 13 years old and was being harrassed by ADULTS and they took her story and made this

Call me a bully but I would've kicked her ass on the spot if she said all that to me 💀

That made me like her character a little more than I had, (which wasn't much)

@@jebtickle4065 how though?

@@captainshadowfox Cus' it was funny.

I be surprised if she could unlock the door to her house

@@redcoatgaming4141 She's the type where if she tried to go out and couldn't open her locked front door instead of trying to find the key she'd scream about how she was trapped.

I guess she's too stupid for both worlds

To be fair, some of those caps are badly designed/warped from age, and genuinely can actually be a bit tricky to get off - plus she's emotional and not thinking clearly. What's NOT excusable is that she SHOUTS "I can't get the cap off" loudly, to no one but the audience (I know someone's in the room, but she's clearly not saying it to that person, she's saying it to the audience to justify why she hasn't taken the pills).

@@LordofFullmetal she was breaking the fourth wall. Plus everything after that scene was not scripted

He would obviously defend his daughter

A lot of Americans seem to be like that. They think they can say whatever horrible shit they want then when they get called out they scream about the First Amendment and free speech.

@@Xehanort10 It's funny when those people talk about free speech then cancel someone for being mean to someone like pokimane

@@Xehanort10 Very few people seem to actually understand what free speech is. I can say whatever the fuck I want, no matter what your opinion of it is, but you can also say whatever you want about whatever I said. So many people seem to think free speech is freedom from criticism when it's the exact opposite. Free speech is specifically for criticism. As the saying goes, if you're only for speech you like, you aren't for free speech. I'm sure I fucked the quote, but close enough

It shocking that most people don’t understand that there are limitations to freedom of speech in America. Call to actions (screaming bomb in an airport, telling someone “kill yourself) are banned, threats are illegal, slander can be prosecuted, etc. The 1st amendment doesn’t cover those and what they did/said could easily go to trial

True, but they mostly look like 30 year olds, so perhaps that evens out the odds, somewhat?! 😁

And we’re supposed to feel bad for her? >.> Nope!

“The things they’re saying about you is true though, not me!” Wow so if he was black and they called him the “n word” it shouldn’t effect him because he’s black? What kind of logic does this character have??

@@terra_the_nightingale135 She seems to have a self pitying mindset where it's only bad because it's happening to her. If it was happening to anyone else she wouldn't care.

And they always live in houses that look like Better Homes and Gardens spreads, and they always have insipidly treacly acoustic guitar rock nobodies singing shitty boy-band reject "songs" over the soundtrack.

It makes me root for her to commit pills in mouth.

In YMS's video, he said something along the lines of "I can't help, but notice all those X's next to all the comments."

Or the power button

At least it’s semi realistic. A lot of people don’t realize that you can block people

Its more the fact the bullying continues in real life.. She goes to school everyday and sees all those same people so just not being on social media doesnt actually stop the bullying and the social isolation.. This movie tried to make that point with the friends leaving her and the guy not going to the dance with her anymore but its a terrible movie so its done terribly

That's because if they did, they couldn't take cyberbully seriously. A lot of this is absurdly contrived because they want to push a novel idea. If this movie were to be actually useful, it'd be 10 minutes long. As soon as the bullying started, she'd be like "OK, this is stupid, I'mma go do something else". So, they have to take it out of the cyberspace and come up with some reason why she has to keep reading those comments. She doesn't really learn a lesson about privacy, taking control of her life or anything that could be remotely useful. teach burglars not to steal. Brilliant.

Aw gawd... if I didn't hate the protagonist of this movie even more. She's a complete narrcisit

Bullying is bullying whether if the things said about you is true or not.

People on the internet say worse than that, This film has a really watered down portrayal of bullying on the internet.

I know right? That's the lamest hack ever. And all she had to do was change her password and status and delete the post.

Sie was just super petty

Never watched the movie, but going off of this video maybe the friend was pissed that she kinda slut shamed her for sleeping with a dude on the first date and wondering why he never called her back. Maybe she wanted to get revenge on her for that. It's a weak motivation, but plausible maybe.

Yeah and the humiliation.

Specifically with cyberbullying, it's the not being able to escape bit that makes it dangerous too. Whenever they look at their phone, it's there, berating them.

*Song of the South* had a more effective anti-bullying message.

Apparently it is ok to call someone a slur if they are what the slur is making fun of.

Leo Bakaitis RU-vid deleted my comment listing off some of the potential insults(censoring one of them and trying to be tasteful in how I wrote them), but I just think it’s very selfish, apathetic, and a massive double standard that is being perpetrated here. This is a very muddy message when your main character who we’re supposed to sympathize with and feel sorry for cyber bullying is perpetuating cyber bullying by saying that certain forms of it are okay.

@HelloHamburger it was a joke I was making fun of the movie

Leo Bakaitis I know that I was adding to it.

Aw look heather is going to whine whine whine

I don't know, I got a pretty good laugh out of it. Even when I saw it in elementary school. The counselor wasn't a big fan of that.

When I was first grade everyday the first thing I have to do when I am get home before I walk into the house I have to say ten times "I am a piece of crap that doesn't deserve to live" if I am like kids today, how many times would I have committed suicide already? Just a reminder, I was 7 years old. people born in the 50s and 60s are the worse parents ever and they are the least competent people that should be in charge, I mean just look at how the whole world gone to the crapper the last 20 years since this generation been in charge, it is chaos. If by your theory, half of us kids born in the 80s and 90s should have suffer depression and commit suicide. But that is not happening, we come out of it stronger and wiser, in some countries the baby boomer are doing such a horrible job, kids born in the 80s and 90s are even taking over in leadership role, before their age, whether it is big corporation or even government and is doing a better job, New Zealand Prime Minister is only 36 when she was first elected now 40. Fineland Prime Minister is only 34, (she look more like a pretty girl on a soap opera, then a national leader) In Taiwan the sixth largest city Mayor, he is only 25 and is clean up the train wreck of debt and mess created by the baby boomer, after only been in office for 2 years. Current Taiwan, President, despite been a baby boomer is amount the smaller majority that are competent, but guess what, all of her advisors are currently under 40.

He just read the “freedom of speech” section and thought he knew the entire constitution.

BOOM! LAWYER'D!

Considering he pulled the "freedom of speech" card, the fact that he's a lawyer is bizarre. The 1st amendment protects what you say, true, but it DOESN'T protect you from the consequences like the dad seems to think.

😱😱😱BREAKING NEWS: Cyberbu//ying rates drop to 0%

Abc family years later: Do i hear Keemstar music?

Cool cat would be so proud

Actually based on his post and other stories it sounds like it was due to a glitch

I dont think it was anything to do with RU-vid finding it inappropriate or anything. I think it was a genuine glitch on the site. He said it happened to a lot of creators over the weekend.

Me when I open a Powerade bottle with lots of precipitation

depressed 13 y.o. me used to eat that shit up lmfao. there were so many edits where that scene would be put over sad music, black and white filter for good measure, and i just sat there like 'damn that's exactly how i'm feeling :'( '

NOOOOOOO!

She said that like she expected her friend to get it off for her and help her kill herself.

Ask Little Brutus to do it for you. Beware the Ides of March.

Yeah if somebody were to spread rumors of me sleeping with x, y, and z, I would just make up lies about those people like "Yeah X can only get hard if I pretend to be the dragon from Shrek"

I'd probably say "yeah I got it from your mom/dad, I wouldn't let them kiss you goodbye for a while"

That's that's roughly one message every two minutes😐😐

i was going to jokingly say "And 30 messages!" But then i decided to rewatch the clip, to make sure the joke was right, and then i realized that it was 13 instead of 30. I think my brain just assumed it was 30 because that seemed actually reasonable instead of a measly 13 messages in half an hour

Because not enough people have seen this movie. Ask a random person and I bet the only thing they know about ABC is 25 days of Christmas or Harry Potter marathons. I doubt theyd know The Fosters or this movie. And honestly i couldnt even tell you one character or even the premise of The Fosters i didnt watch that channel. Only watched this movie because of Emily.

To be fair, spreading rumors like "I'll bet she slept with 20 guys and is pregnant" wouldn't ever hold up. Slander is actually quite difficult to prove (rightfully so), at least in the US.

I think it would be easier to proof big it's liable.

It's not really, it's just dumb internet insults. I bet you if she didn't act so basic the girl would have stopped.

Slander is spoken. Libel is written.

Excuse, how do you put a specific point of the video in your coment? Sorry for my English 😅

@@recoverymza just typing it out like done above should work So 00:01 for the first second of the video, 10:00 for 10 minutes in, etc.. If the video is longer than an hour, I believe you add another colon? So 1:00:00

@@epicwocky thanks ^^

And let's not forget the pink ribbon, which is a nice touch tbh

honestly, i think i'd just find it funny as fuck lol. pretty sure if that happened the person posting that video would get bullied to hell bc why would you do something so stupid?

"People call me the N word." "Yeah, but you're actually black, so it's fine. 😌💅"

Frankly I have no sympathy for Taylor because I get the feeling she's wangsting over nothing since all the bullying towards her aren't bad compared to Caleb.

Eck

thats worse and they should have done that- it would honestly make more sense and/or a better story ngl...

That's seriously messed up... it should have been included into the main plot instead of this typical lifetime crap. It would also show that not only teens/pre-teens are bullies. But God forbid something is actually accurate in these movies.

Is there a documentary on Netflix? What's the case called?

There's an episode of Law & Order: SVU where a mom does something like this. Doesn't end well

I get what you're saying, but being bullied isn't restricted to your skin colour. Even a skinny blonde white girl can be bullied if a bully can find something to hurt her with.

Brithwyr This whole movie would’ve been better if there was an actual reason she was getting bullied. If someone posted that on their account (meaning the “I liked to get spanked” stuff) they might get some light teasing, but most people would brush it off as sarcasm. Calling someone a bitch would probably get you praised by everyone who wasn’t close with that person tbh. The movie still wouldn’t have been good but it would at least make sense. Like maybe people thought she was promiscuous, maybe she was aggressive and a loner, maybe there were rumors about something.

Yeah, it's weird how the whole movie brushes off the issue when people have a reason to bully you, whether it's a "legitimate" one (like you did something stupid but essentially harmless) or just the hatecrime-y type. Well, I guess it's okay to bully then!

Probably because they think no one in the audience will care unless she's a skinny white girl. Otherwise they would have to... create a sympathetic character with depth and an actual personality! It could have easily made sense if this was a fight about a boy, that is a pretty typical reason why one girl would start spreading rumors about another.

Ironically that bitchy attitude the main character got with him probably made a lot of people enjoy the idea of her being bullied.

lmao me too I cried watching this movie 😂

How old were you?

yoooooo, same.

Considering I actually watched this on my own volition

I cried when that "can't get the cap off" scene came up. Trouble is, I did it while sounding like a hyena on laughing gas, so I got sent out to sit in the hall 😂

It's sooooo hard to be an overprivliged white girl in a middle-class society and being called mean names by randos on the internet😫

​@@AWasteOfYourTime8205 it is hard to be bullied, actually.

​@@AWasteOfYourTime8205no matter your skin color.

@Demonetization_Symbol what I mean is that these types of movies about bullying are, most of the time, centered around unlikable over privileged white girls. We need a movie about a gay black man being bullied in the 70s or something that is under explored

"I know how you feel, people call be slurs all the time." "OK, but you're actually gay, so that's ok."

Don’t you mean cyberbu//y? LOL.

@@averagezoomer how could I be so stupid to misspell the classic known as cyberbu//y

Max Grozema a true classic.

Honestly, it would have made the movie better.

@@oculttheexegaming2509 probably would’ve

I would have nearly died laughing. That young lad is a hero.

WHAT A LEGEND!

I had to watch this in class too!Nobody gave a shit and all i could think of is how bad this movie was and how it was unrealistic and clearly just a poor attempt at a message.

Hey Fellow kids

They are XD

I saw better writing and far superior acting in the episode of *The Jeffersons* where Florence wanted to kill herself with an overdose of pills.

Sounds like the standard lesbian webfiction.

Ah yes. Using administrative bullying to "teach" the dangers of cyberbullying.

Why would a teacher play this?!

Same

I think I saw it in class too but I can't remember

N M got no idea but they did it in my school too

i hope someone yelled "I CANT GET THE CAP OFF"

It wasn't his first rodeo

Hate to break it to you but i think your health teacher might be on the mentally challenged side of things if he said "very accurate"

5 years ago I was a senior in high school and our health teacher also assured us how “very accurate” this movie was. Must be in the handbook.

Our health teacher also showed it on high school and said it was a very emotional and sad movie. Some of the other students in the class also said some of the same things. Me and some friendd were just sitting back and dying from the hilarity.

But it kind of is tho.

@@holben27 it’s freedom from legal consequences, as that would be suppression of speech, but not freedom from social consequences where people hold a person accountable for their actions and express a dislike for those comments

@@davemoths so cancel culture

@@ALDAL in what way

Not American but I thought freedom of speech doesn't mean that you step on another person's rights and in this case, freedom from discrimination.

Oh no, poor students. (genuinely serious)

What was educational about it tho

@@matthew_natividad Nothing, that's why it's funny.

Your school forced you watch this trash?! F*cking sue them, that counts as abuse xD

When we watched this, half the class bursted out laughing at the pill scene

I’m the second kind...

Correction: there are three types of people, the people who would consume the entire pill bottle

@@stormrunner1177 That falls under both those categories.
