Some people fail to understand the longevity of targeted abuse of women of color on Twitter. One single attack can last for years.

It's pretty much always men. They're pretty much always white. Travis DuCote is a brocialist; his meme inspires right-wingers to attack me.
-
And even as I tweet how worn down and shitty this makes me feel, people like
@Brockaganda are attacking me. Can't you get a life, dude? -
Mute and Block his ass. That's what they're there for.

See, your response is probably well-intentioned, but pretty troubling for me....
@TallGrrl -
The original person that started all of this? He was already blocked. Yet here I am, a year later, still dealing with it.
@TallGrrl -
Sure, it might help, but it doesn't really matter how many people I block/mute. I still have people calling me cunt and worse...

Why didn't you just keep scrolling? To make a point to me. That's why.

No. You needed to get called in.
-
All the same. I felt
@aurabogado needed to be "called in." -
But yr victim-blaming rhetoric isn’t calling anyone in. You basically told her that the violent response from men was her fault.
-
At no point did I say it was her fault. But if you're going to post online, you should be prepared for flak. Internet 101.

but why are your thoughts so important to these people?
-
They're frightened. Her thoughts/opinions challenge opinions they're emotionally invested in, so lash out.
-
is that what mentally ill ppl who smear shit everywhere think? "What I'm doing is just too advanced 4 em"
-
are your musings a personal prospective on your own behavior?
-
you're a pretty bad psychologist if you think Aura doesn't clearly have issues.
-
and your projections are astounding in their lunacy.

She says that something is fascinating to her. Which means interesting. Food for *thought*, not attack.
