@DashEquals@linuxrocks.online you lead a wonderfully charmed life LMAO
i've been there and done that for the high crime of Being A Woman Online Playing A Video Game. and i'm even white and cishet, so i don't get a lot of other additional shit.
i would urge you to seek out voices of people talking about how and why blocking tools are important to them and a necessary part of social media.
you will find that most of them aren't dicks. they're just minorities seen as "easy prey".
@DashEquals@linuxrocks.online i've seen mobs also form for something as simple as shipping. not even spicy shipping, but "two legal adults of the same age range who met in adulthood and have an uncomplicated egalitarian relationship" shipping.
something as simple as "like to see these characters smooch" can, and will, make some people get the pitchforks and torches, pass around names, mock people, etc. etc. etc.
it... definitely happens.
