@wycats I don't think people in the wider community think I'm a cunt. Jeez, at least I hope not...? -
@nrrrdcore@wycats the wider community is not uniform. It's hard to get a bead on trends any way you look at it. Protecting sanity is first. -
@polotek@nrrrdcore Totally agree. Sanity is important. Sometimes fighting back can help keep it.

@wycats unless you are talking about being harassed by bigots on racial grounds, in which case, uggh, I'm so sorry. /cc@nrrrdcore -
@timocratic@nrrrdcore In college, I was attacked repeatedly and in a sustained way for being a "rich white jew" (even though I was poor) -
@wycats as I feared, I'm sorry people are shitty bigots. :( /cc@nrrrdcore -
@timocratic@nrrrdcore Yeah :( "People are complicated" was my mantra then and remains my mantra today. -
@wycats or just an emotional drag and deficit? /cc@nrrrdcore -
@timocratic@nrrrdcore When it gets to the point where it's widely believed, I find it's more emotionally sane to address than ignore. -
@wycats I'll admit I watch Steve dive into reddit/hn with a bit of both awe and horror /cc@nrrrdcore

@wycats gendered harassment can be a little different, though, no? More repetitive, less to "respond" to, more vitriolic etc /cc@nrrrdcoreThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
