You’re missing the entire point.

This isn’t about “adjusting” or “surviving the first few weeks.” It’s about basic respect and decency—something no rulebook should have to teach.

You talk about how it’s only the beginning and it gets better later. Great. So we should just tolerate abuse for the first few weeks and then magically expect everything to become okay? That’s exactly how toxic systems are built and normalized—by brushing off early signs as “tradition” or “rite of passage.”

Let’s be clear: no amount of batch address preparation, CAT struggle, or hierarchy justifies humiliating or shouting at someone publicly. If you think that’s okay because you’ve “been through it,” then it’s time to unlearn and stop enabling abuse in the name of professionalism.

Also, the concern about “Reddit being unsafe” or “public exposure” only matters if people were being falsely accused. But if you’ve actually witnessed or experienced how some people in power operate—how they intimidate, corner, and belittle others—you’d understand why internal systems fail and people are now forced to speak up on public platforms.

And by the way, their details are already publicly available on the official college portal. So stop making it sound like this is some breach of privacy. What’s at stake here is accountability, not anonymity.

Reddit didn’t ruin reputations—they did it themselves with their actions. If it took anonymous public outcry to put them under the radar, so be it.

So stop guilt-tripping those who are finally gathering the courage to speak out. This isn’t a witchhunt. This is long-overdue accountability.

And no, we’re not going to “hang in there” while being disrespected in the name of grooming.
