I've lost count of the rape threats and death threats against me today. It's exhausting... and it freaks me out.

I just picked two... But I have dozens of messages like this, which illustrate what it's like to be a woc on social media in 2016.

I think the reason you get hate isn't because of your race or what's in your pants, but because people don't like your opinions.

nothing to do with disliking her opinion. It has more to do with it being downright stupid.

Obv they're wrong to do that but you put out stupid ass tweets you're gonna get responses.

ok, wait, here: 1) it is wrong to threaten her. 2) she just said it's cool to disagree with her but not to threaten her
-
true but most of the time the stupider the tweet the more the threats.
-
but we agree that even the stupidest tweet on the planet doesn't deserve threats of harm or violence?
-
disagree.
-
eeeeek. yeah. that's gross, bro, but i'm sure you already knew that and like the shock value
-
I agree with ya. I wouldn't cross the line as to threaten someone on the internet. It's easier to call them idiots.
-
well, it's also like, what kind of pent-up rage ya got going on in there to threaten a stranger on the internet?

I don't wish any harm upon you either but I won't feel any pity for you when you're being trolled into oblivion.
