This mentality of βif you post online it can be seen by anyone so youβre basically asking for it if you get harassedβ is taken for granted as somehow sensible, but I think itβs actually pretty alarming! There has never been another time in history when misspeaking, being too earnest or autistic or βuglyβ or βannoyingβ or etc etc could get you attacked continuously, en masse, by people all over the world. Now weβve just accepted it as the natural order. Questioning this is seen as naive and illogical, but participating in the punishment of anyone deemed to have transgressed (whether you even actually have evidence of wrongdoing or not) isnβt. It should be alarming how quickly people slot themselves into the roles of arbiter and punisher as if there are zero ethical implications
