* CompleteMonster: The hacker. On top of already being a cruel and aggressive internet troll, they hack into Casey's computer under the cover of wanting to punish her for being a cyber bully, then proceed to spend the next hour psychologically tormenting her by threatening to expose her private life, fully intent on driving her to suicide. And if the comments they make are to be believed, they have not only done this before to other people, but they also record it for their own entertainment.

* AlternativeAesopInterpretation: While bullying in any context clearly isn't okay, Casey isn't exactly wrong in her arguments that, whether we like it or not, "everything gets slated online", and the film demonstrates that nothing ever truly stays private when posted on the internet, even when under a pseudonym or initially shared among a limited number of people. In other words, thinking before you post is a good idea not just regarding trolling comments but with regards to your own videos/content as well.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Casey's grief over Jennifer Li's suicide is clearly genuine, but before that (when she thinks the hacker might be Jennifer herself), she at first gives a somewhat {{Glurge}}y apology for trolling her, and when the apology is rejected she spitefully engages in UsefulNotes/VictimBlaming and accuses Jennifer of making it so easy to bully her. Given that Casey has a vested interest in appeasing the hacker, but is also under a lot of stress herself at the time (and is on antidepressants so might be prone to mood swings anyway), it's difficult to tell whether she meant the apology or would have regretted her outburst once she'd calmed down.

* MoralEventHorizon: It's a matter of opinion when exactly the hacker crosses it, but by the time he forces Casey to take a dangerous overdose he certainly has, and if Casey's theory that he has ''deliberately'' trolled many other people to suicide is correct he would have crossed it a long time ago.

* TearJerker: Both Jennifer Li and Casey have some heartbreaking reactions to everything they go through. Jennifer's written plea for the hate to stop while "Mad World" plays in the background is a standout.
