Gotcha. As that was really a side issue, I’m bummed out that it is apparently a site that hosts both cute puppy/kitty/yelling sheep videos (I love yelling sheep!) and rude and hostile jerks that make watching the fun videos less fun.

The demographic of imgur has completely changed. If i don’t get downvoted on the regular on imgur, I assume I am doing something wrong. Don’t take them seriously, it’s a place of trolls now and angry young males who think they’re the true victims of any social issue you could think of.

Those are all cowards who wouldnt have the stones to say that shit to your face. They are afraid of women and feel powerless so they try to make other people feel bad. You are right to speak up and we will continue to speak up. They can’t stop us. Keep reaching out for support. We’re all on your side and even though…

I’m so sorry. I honestly have no idea how imgur works - is there a way to report these assholes and get them banned? or do they just make new usernames, probably? ugh.

I’m sorry that this is happening to you.

This probably makes me sound ancient, but what is imgur?

I’m sorry you have to experience that. I had the same experience with Imgur, after my husband talked about how awesome it is. It took people insulting me directly, for my husband to really see the misogyny. Now I don’t bother with it, and my husband rarely ventures near it (it’s really only good for mindless…

I’m sorry you’re getting this, I’ve been told I deserve to be killed and raped (then outright threatened with it) as well - just for sharing my experiences - not even in debate with someone, just saying “this is what happened to me”. Guys have been led to believe it’s HILARIOUS to abuse people online, and with the…

Ignore, delete, block. It sucks that we have to do this—and that the moderator assholes on social media probably don’t always take this shit seriously—but removing yourself from engagement when they are getting violent and assholian may just be the best solution.

I’m so sorry. I have no solutions but I hope you soldier on and find one.

I’m so sorry you’re dealing with that bullshit. You are doing the right thing by reporting and deleting comments. As I’m sure you know, trolls thrive off any engagement—they starve to death without attention. I know that knowledge doesn’t do anything to make you feel more safe, and I hate that. Those people are almost…

Just tell them if they love sucking Putin’s dick, who are you to stop them.

Via Gabby Schulz. I’m sorry people are being dicks. More than dicks.

Jesus why are people such assholes

I’m really sorry the internet scum are coming after you like that. They’re pathetic and petty people who get off on making strangers feel bad. Please accept this gif of a cat attacking a watermelon as a reminder that the internet also gives us gifs of cats attacking watermelons.

I had a day on here like that once, but never had a private message like that. I’m sorry. We are with you, mama! 

i’m gonna go out on a limb and say that someone like yourself (a practicing muslim in america, correct?) is not who the invective is being sent against, and if anyone is gonna give you shit about that, fuck them.

Thank you! I just posted about the privilege of staying in the US.

A lot of people don’t have the privilege of remaining where they have always lived and worked if they believe their lives are at risk.

Given how young Ronan Farrow is, and that he spent a lot of his young life on humanitarian missions with his mom or in school (didn’t he enter university at an extremely young age?), I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s not noticed Dr. Phil till recently.
