I was moderately prepared for this to be about how disgusting it is that people find killing animals to be aaaaaand then that didn't happen lol I feel like someone's stabbed me in the gut whenever I even have a sliver of a thought about someone else harming animals, especially cats, but that's a story for another time.

It sickens me to see how little has changed in terms of online harassment since I first heard of it in middle school to today. I'm so sorry you have been in these scenarios, even more so when you haven't done anything like, you know, record yourself killing animals and slap it online. Not that posting violent crap like that means it's ok to violently bully people; was just saying that your examples of your own experiences don't even remotely tread in that territory

Shit like this is why I try to distance myself from the likes of Twitter and Facebook. I have a hard time walking away from deep and/or heated conversations until everything is resolved, which is rarely the case, and I feel like I'd just be glued to my phone/computer responding to people who just Don't Get It. And yet Twitter is one of the biggest platforms for writers :\ sigh...
