The boy who didn't like TJ didn't say anything especially bad towards him. Meanwhile, dipshits in the gaming community like to send death threats if you give their golden calf an 8/10. That's why I feel it's best to ignore them. The amount of times I've received death threats on the internet is just absurd. And I'm a nobody. At this point, it feels like you have to accept that dumbasses gonna dumbass. Once you build in a filter, it's so much easier to weed out the ones that aren't idiots.

The Catgirl Fondler 01/12/22 8:04:51 AM #160:	Gamerguymass posted... I mean its literally been happening for thousands of years, what exactly is it that you think can be done that will make it stop? Men are hardwired to be attracted to younger fitter women and be obsessed with sex. It's literally biological instinct. There's nothing that will ever make every guy everywhere stop thinking of sex and being perverts. The best thing to do is to either ignore it or play along in which case they will eventually get bored and stop. But going on some cringy rant just shows that it does bother you so now they are going to double down. I mean this happens literally every time someone shows they are bothered by something. You would think people who spend their days on the internet would know this. Bullshit, there's nothing forcing other men to act like this, and I say that as one of the biggest fucking perverts here. I enjoy my lewd and saucy content, often and vigorously, but that doesn't mean I condone harassment and mistreatment in the real world. It's a personal choice to be a belligerent and sexist dipshit, and unfortunately a lot of guys choose poorly. --- IDD <cite>The Catgirl Fondler posted [p:961681754] in X-Play hos...

Nemu 01/12/22 9:11:17 AM #167:	Turning off comments or using your own platform where you can better curate the userbase is the only way to make that stop. It'd be nice if we could come together as a society to be less shitty, but that's obviously never going to happen. Celebrities in particular have to realize they will always deal with this shit due to being in the limelight. Nobody should have to deal with that and there can probably be some measures to lighten it up a little bit, but you gotta work in reality rather than some imagined utopia. <cite>Nemu posted [p:961682910] in X-Play hos...

You can call out all you want, and they will find pleasure in that. It is going to do nothing to stop them, cause you wont be catching them. They will make new accounts and keep on doing what they do until they get bored. All they want is attention and to be assholes. Ban and move on to keep them attention starved.</quote> UnfairRepresent posted... </cite> <quote>Lindsay Ellis alone disproves this argument She turned off comments and closed her social media and all it did was make people angrier at her She then came back and did a video about it and half the trolls ran off Dina Tokio did the same thing The Internet and social media are new things.

It'd be nice if we could come together as a society to be less shitty, but that's obviously never going to happen. Celebrities in particular have to realize they will always deal with this shit due to being in the limelight. Nobody should have to deal with that and there can probably be some measures to lighten it up a little bit, but you gotta work in reality rather than some imagined utopia. Yeah this stupid rhetoric behind using ignore or block features as a sign of weakness or thin-skinned needs to be phased out of our culture, which it sort of slowly is in social media.

Prestoff 01/12/22 2:38:20 PM #192:	Yeah I'm normally on the boat about just ignoring trolls, but sometimes shutting down your social media accounts or putting them on a ban list is the only way to deal with them. My younger sister, last year, was a victim to this where trolls at first were making derogatory comments about her because she appeared in a talk regarding a female empowerment college program for STEM majors. At first she ignored them, but it just wouldn't stop and it got to the point where it got invasive like one of them calling her workplace Boss and making false allegations on her being abusive towards her pets. She eventually shut down all her social media accounts and just recently opened it back up (since new years) and hasn't gotten any troll comments since. She is definitely going to be more vigilant regarding troll comments and most likely going to be blocking or banning a bunch of them if they do prop up. --- DI MOLTO! <cite>Prestoff posted [p:961690408] in X-Play hos...

Prestoff 01/12/22 3:25:39 PM #196:	[LFAQs-redacted-quote] I felt even worst because I was one of those people that went "Sis, just ignore them. Giving them attention will only make it worst. They will eventually go away." I just didn't realize how far some of these trolls would go. A lot of them were giving her crap because she's made comments about her experience in going into Electrical Engineering, but dropped out of that major because every engineering class she was in was always predominately male or she was the only female in there. She would constantly get hit on by many of them, which she found to be very uncomfortable because she wasn't looking to be in a relationship with anyone until after college and when she got her life down. She also said she faced some sexism like guys making comments about women not being smart in general if she didn't get a high score on a quiz or test, because she said that if you're a minority in a majority environment, not only are you an unwilling representative but you will get judged on for any actions you do, as unfair as that sounds. It was an environment she was very uncomfortable with that she temporarily dropped out of college and was thinking about going into beauty school. With encouragement from family, friends, and mentors she eventually switched to Bio major where she eventually got a job as a Veterinarian (you can see why the troll made the call they did to her boss) after graduation and she kinda used this as an anchor to for the rest of her sharing regarding not giving up after a bad experience. I will give a discretion she does use some "sjw" words like "problematic" and "words can be violence" in her sharing, so I can see why some people might have an issue with it. I can also see people using the "block" feature to block out dissenting opinions and creating an echo chamber (like someone else posted). With that said, I can also see it sometimes being a good tool to blocking out abuse and harassment as well. --- DI MOLTO! <cite>Prestoff posted [p:961691615] in X-Play hos...

It's not normalizing it, and it may be downplaying, but ffs. You cannot do anything about it.

Of course bigoted, misogynistic, racist, disgusting comments will exist no matter what. It isn't a shocking revelation that those are bad. That's why bans and deletions will exist.
