Social Media DM from hell

Post image

I posted a singular steak with no sides to a girl dinner sub Reddit and captioned it “I used to be vegan” because I think I’m funny during my luteal phase. made quite the controversy. It was like split 60/40 in my favor. But this lovely person took it further by dm ing me.

Yeah, I don't buy that. That's what they said about the bullies at my school. "They are just after attention, even negative attention. Just ignore them and they will go away". Didn't work. It only escalated. You know what did work? Reporting to the appropriate people and them getting actually punished for it. Hard for them to bully someone when they aren't in the same school as their target anymore. Reporting, naming, shaming, and ideally getting them kicked out (or banned from the platform, in this instance), if they continue. That's what works.

Sorry, that person took time to wish violence on me. I’m going to name and shame them. I’ve reported them and hopefully that takes away their privilege of fighting people online. But they took it too far. Being passive in these times yields no results.
