Paris Hilton is going to produce my debut album and I'm going to call it "Paris is Burning"

No. Just no. The "if you can't handle it, leave" is never, ever the correct response on dealing with abuse. Aside from dismissing the concerns of the people bothered, it also quickly results in a race to the bottom for the abuse until no one wants to go there any more, easily offended or not. I've been online since…

I am not speaking about myself; I don't feel particularly upset by typed, anonymous comments. The fact remains that trolls do target female writers, often personally, and that female writers on the Internet are regularly threatened, harassed and attacked on a personal level in a way men are not. In the past year…

I always wonder about these sorts of trolls. I want to meet their parents, actually.

It's images of violence against women that are being posted in response to articles written by and/or about women. Men are not targeted in this way. It's not general trolling, it's all about being abusive to women anonymously.

Truth. Just look at all the backlash Jessica Valenti got for asking a very simple, straightforward question about tampons! That was literally a simple request for information and she got so much shit for it.

To me, it seems this is really indicative of the way in which it's so much harder to exist as a woman on the Internet — women have to deal with so much shit, and so much of the stuff done to ~make the 'net free for everyone~ doesn't take that fact into account at all. There was an op-ed in the Guardian about that this…

No, and fuck you. Jezebel should be able to post articles about whatever they damn well please without having to deal with rape gifs and gore porn and whatever the fuck else. Those are being used as a silencing tool, and your comment is no better.

There are possible solutions/mitigation methods for this issue - putting a waiting period on created burner accounts before they can post images, limiting the number of images that can be posted on a burner account within a certain period of their creation, etc. - but I doubt Denton is willing to do anything that…

Prior to Kinja, I headed the trollpatrol team for Jezebel, as many people here know. We dealt with rape gifs, violent pornography, racism, and harassment regularly, but there was a system in place with which to have it reported and dealt with. Banning didn't usually result in the same person immediately making a new…

How can we support you? What can readers/commenters do to push Gawker Media into action?

That was a Gawker article, idiot.

There's a point to Kinja? Because it's failing miserably. Comments around here were 200x better a couple years ago. Old articles popping up make it all too obvious.

I just want to write dude, not dismiss bloody rape gif trolls every day. It is the worst part of our jobs to hear from commenters that they can't discuss, say, a teen girl being great at Little League without some person boasting a burner account using the collective comment thread as a chance to harass people.

And why do you want people to send in tips on a public Comment system? Don't we have e-mail for that sort of thing?

It honestly breaks my heart a little bit that this post even needs to exist — but the manner in which this has been handled (or not handled, really) by HQ is pathetic. Not reporting on it feels hypocritical, so here we are.

For what it's worth, I want to apologize to our readers who are forced to interact with these violent gifs regularly. The point of Kinja is to create a better platform for discussion and those discussions CANNOT happen when you're inundated by such traumatizing material. It's this person's goal to shutdown…

What bothers me about this is that we don't record IP addresses so as to protect these burner accounts for people who might want to tip us anonymously about a story. So the company is seemingly placing a priority on making these hypothetical tipsters feel safe over the safety of the actual real live women who write…

Now I can only imagine these people are from the Free Cities, and they're all wealthy merchants showing off their largess. Perhaps I've been reading too much Song of Ice and Fire.
