I'm so over having to prove that harassment is real, that it skews along lines of gender, that it skews along lines of race
-
And finally, here's a piece of the puzzle I am fucking desperate to read material on: What is actually going through harassers' minds?
What motivates them? What makes them sit at the computer for hours, for months, being complete dipshits?

-
Why do they track some women for YEARS, trying to ruin them online?
-
The closest I've gotten to understanding it is
@AdrianChen's profiles on violentacrez / 8chan, and those don't reveal much about inner mind. -
If you don't understand what motivates them, you're highly likely to misunderstand how to stop them.

@sarahjeong It makes them feel powerful. I used to pull that kind of shit online when I was younger, though not NEARLY on that level. -
@sanspoint Have you written about it? I'd be interested in a first hand account of online harrassment from that side.@sarahjeong -
@somegreybloke@sarahjeong Perhaps I should, though it was extraordinarily small-potatoes stuff. Mostly territorial IRC crap. - 1 réponse de plus
