Why is cyber bullying a part of HSY pack?
Why is it that, even with all of the education about the toxicity and dangers of cyberbullying, TheSims4 added it to the newest pack (HSY)? This 'feature' (on the social bunny app) has teens getting...

Basically, lets make already so over positive utopic game even more utopic.
I get what you are saying. But does this mean that mean interactions should be taken out entirely? Sorry, but I'm not interested in game where everyone are besties with each other.
If anything, Team should maybe add toggle, warning and maybe ease up on some texts. But it shouldn't be taken out completely.
Note; What is in game isn't cyber bullying. That looks differently.
I'm afraid that I'm a sweetness and light Utopic player and... yeah, if you can cheat on your spouse, divorce, throw drink, have a fist fight, insult face, imply mother is a llama, etc., I don't see how sending a mean message on Social Bunny is worse than that. If it's because they're teens, well, teans can fight each other, insult face, imply mother is a llama, etc.
In fact, mean Sims can "crush dreams" of a child or teen Sim, and that's worse to me because it's an adult being mean to a child or teen.
I agree that bullying is bad! but I don't think sending a mean private message on Social Bunny is that much worse than mechanics already in the base game. If there was a mechanism to get EVERYONE to post mean public messages about a Sim, that would be different. Also the mean messages I've seen in gameplay are, say, "Your face is so punchable" and not, say, urging someone to commit suicide. Not to defend people sending private messages of "your face is punchable!" that's awful, but it's not the same thing as the stuff where people post horrible public things about someone and everyone retweets/reshares it. In fact, I've noticed there's no retweet/share and that might be why.
Edit: @simsplayer818 was posting at the same time I was and I think she's convinced me to change my mind...
