Do you mean just less likely to admit being 'upset' online?

Generally. Also less likely to think in terms of 'upset.'

From experience I think it's more likely the latter, also maybe sexualised threats are just more upsetting than violent ones?

Not sure. But much of it isn't threats. Just sexual & violent language.

True, I've experienced a bit of violent & racist abuse and almost 0 sexually abusive language, the latter I imagine could be more upsetting.

The most upsetting/maddening msgs I get are character slurs (bigot/misogynist etc)...

so maybe abuse/ harassment based on sexuality maybe more hurtful than violent ones.

I have said 'maybe.' Like you, I find attacks on my character to be most hurtful. Sexual insults are easy to brush off.

Sorry for rambling. I was building up to ask you whether sexualised abuse was more akin to character slurs than violent language.

But you answered it preemptively.

Sorry. I see no reason why it should be but I suppose it could be if you associate sexuality with character.
