    She recently posted on Reddit she’s only posting there, not interacting with anyone because of the toxicity. I think it was the usual thing high profile women end up getting on social media that men don’t, namely rape threats and death threats in their DMs all the time.

    Not going back to the R site to find her post but that stuff always makes me sad

      First thing I did when I signed up for Reddit back in the day was to turn off DMs. I refuse to believe she’s too stupid to figure that out. She wants to be the victim, and frames every conversation she has in that light.

        “She wants to be the victim” is quite the claim to make.

          You’re welcome to suggest another explanation. In fact, I highly suggest you engage her on the subject and see what she says.

        I don’t really know enough about any of that. But I still don’t think it’s right people should be forced to turn off their DMs and comments because they’re recieving messages like that.

          Oh, I agree… you shouldn’t have to, but we all know that DMs are used only for harassment, so… yeah, if you don’t, then you’re asking for it. I wish people were better, well, people, but we aren’t.
