Internet Karma

The idea that karma (or some form of redemption) can be obtained by arguing points against racism, violence, sexuality, and morality on the internet. People that believe in this generally seek to improve their own conscience and appear to hold high moral values on a strictly online-basis. They do not, however, act on many of their opinions in real life. These individuals also have a tendency to flame even the smallest of references that might be deemed “offensive”. To them, standing up for a group of people that deserves sympathy or a particular cause nets “Internet Karma Points” which can be redeemed to clear their conscience of immoral actions committed off the net.
