      I wish all these racist, sexist assed fuckers could feel even a tiny bit of shame and even an ounce of compassion. We've gotta reign in the toxicity that is dominating and destroying what would otherwise be vibrant and welcoming fandoms.https://twitter.com/swtweets/status/1003833275738013697 …

      Within moments of sharing this my feed is full of men telling me how much they disliked Rose as a character. Cool, you are entitled to that opinion BUT YOU DO NOT GET TO HARASS AND ABUSE SOMEONE BECAUSE OF IT.

      What're we collectively doing to end online harassment? If you want to see change then how are you building respectful norms in your communities? Are you calling out toxic behaviour? What pressure are you putting on social media companies to create safer platforms?

          Our experiences as marginalized folks online is constantly navigating a mindfield of hate, every-fucking-day. I barely look at my mentions anymore because it's exhausting (at best). BUT THIS ISN'T JUST THE WAY IT HAS TO BE. We can make real change... but we have to do the work.

          Honestly, not even sure what concrete steps to take. I follow @amyjccuddy as she speaks out about changing the harassment culture but other than you and her saying this is b.s. I'm not sure what actual campaigns are out there to drive effective change. We need a #metoo for this.

          Okay, I follow now. I agree that we know too little about how to change this, which is why I’m now devoting most of my time to cracking this and coming up with viable recommendations.

          I super appreciate your work on this, Amy. I'm glad you're addressing this (although very sorry for the reasons behind why you felt compelled to ... you & Anita have both dealt w/ a grotesque level of online b.s). I'm definitely down for being part of the solution.

          What I'm capable of doing but currently try much too rarely is practising counter-speech because I prefer civil courage. I simply don't trust the media companies to make a change. So it's up to us to organize in communities and groups like #ichbinhier to oppose the hate.

          Anita I understand what you are trying to do and I commend you for it. But online harassment will never go away. In my opinion you shouldn't try and suppress someone's speech regardless of how hurtful it may be. Just let them know they're awful people and move on.

          Telling someone they're acting like a jerk is not 'suppressing their speech', it is using our own.

          I know. That's exactly what I'm saying. Don't try to enforce rules that suppress speech. Let people say whatever they want and you can reply with whatever you want

          Set up your own online community. Buy a domain name, do some branding and make yourself a personal space. You've got enough money to do it, so why don't you?

          I spent months calling out toxic behaviour towards an actor in another fandom (he got driven off social media too) and all it did was make me a target of the toxics' harassment and bullying. There was not an ounce of self-reflection.
