I wonder how much of the ostensible trend of rape victims getting death threats on social media is from neuroticism. Isn’t a person who misreads bad sex as rape also likely to misread shitposting as an imminent threat of bodily harm?

It seems otherwise odd that it would be such a popular meme that rape victims suffer disproportionate harassment. What’s more likely? That the Internet is full of people who are vastly more evil than normal, or that it has people who are somewhat more neurotic?

(Note: this tweet is literally invisible to uncharitable readers) Of course, I’m sure some people a) are legitimate victims, and b) suffer harassment when they come forward. And I don’t deny that the subjective experience of Mean People Online is surely worse for the neurotic.
