Ever notice how thereâs always people online who seem to know everything? That take pleasure in showing they know everything when they notice mistakes? And then others gang up, too? Maybe you are sometimes guilty of that. Maybe I am, too. Maybe thatâs the problem.
Akiman, best known for his Street Fighter art, does a good job of explaining this online problem in an illustration he titles âInternetâ.

The character in glasses says, âOne plus one is three.â
Another smiling character appears and says, âItâs twoâ and slaps the character across the face.
Then, the next smiling character in line also says itâs two and then pokes the character in the glasses.
âItâs two, stupid,â says the next smiling character in line, kicking the character and knocking off his spectacles.
Finally, another smiling character, wielding a sharp object, says âItâs two, you idiot. Die!â Then the character who was wearing glasses screams in pain as heâs stabbed.
And that is Akimanâs take on the mob mentality of the internet. Agree? Disagree?
