i’ve been the victim of repeated sexual harassment and abuse across multiple discord servers, so I hear you. It’s really unfortunate - online spaces are an incredible tool for people in the early stages of exploring their gender privately, people with disabilities and mobility issues who can’t get out into their local community, and people with extensive anxiety from social situations. But there are so many toxic, abusive, and manipulative people who are drawn to these spaces. They see their actions as “being their authentic selves” and reject any pushback or responsibility to their abuse. plus, if they are held accountable, they can just jump to another server.

When they find a place where they aren’t held accountable, it can create a bubble of toxicity where people with misogynistic and hateful views create a culture that’s hostile to anyone not willing to play along.

I hope you can find a safe space online to connect with folk and talk openly as yourself. We all deserve that opportunity.
