@bootie_fringe so, there's a Very Bad website that likes to stalk and harass people they feel would be entertaining to mess with

one of the things they do in their stalking is try very hard to find things they can combine with malicious extrapolations to dissolve the target's support networks--networks that are often vital for their victim's survival

also, because these group have a louder voice than a single marginalized creator, the victim's platform turns into a recruiting ground for a mob to attack them, fueled by belief in the original malicious extrapolations as the original stalkers sit back and watch the fireworks for entertainment

however, a lot of lefty circles don't look down on this practice because people with enormous platforms scream that this is supposedly happening to them whenever they encounter backlash from doing something Actually Bad

i posted that because i was frustrated that there are a lot of marginalized people who will defend this practice in the name of "keeping powerful figures accountable" while the people who are hurt most by it aren't the people they want to hold accountable--it's them

and abusive people who realize this literally hunt vulnerable people for sport, because the current perception of the practice means that enough people will give them the benefit of the doubt whenever they actually murder someone using it

@thingywott which website is it? DM me if you do not want to say it in public pls
