People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

RULES:

  1. Mark NSFW content.
  2. No doxxing people.
  3. Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
  4. No international politcs
  5. Be excellent to each other.
  6. Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
  7. If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

I was 15. He was 22. He bought me take away food, alcohol and cigarettes for my company.

A decade later, he was my bosses boss. And harassed me at work.

He came from a wealthy family where he was the golden child, people around town know about his tastes but no one has come forward. His family are in denial.

Some people are just pure evil.

That is not a particularly helpful way to engage with someone explaining what someone put them through.

If she did it doesnt seem like it would have done much to someone in his position, and may have carried risk for her. She doesnt owe us an explanation of how she handled things, regardless of how she navigated it or how it went.

In general when someone is explaining how they were harmed its generally not helpful to intergogate whether they handled it "correctly". Being a victim or being in a position in life where it is easier for you to be a victim rarely leaves you with many good options, or makes it easy to do things the "right" way

Working in academia I've had to explain to a lot of girls that older men flirting with them repeatedly isn't a normal thing and they should 100% report them to the proper channels if they felt uncomfortable. It sucks that even when there's any amount of support it's still so poorly communicated.

I had a similar experience with my first crush. He let me down easy and acted like my big brother. I hope he found happiness in life.

It is no measure of health to be well adjusted in a profoundly sick society

I just started running when it happened to me. Charges can’t catch you if you outrun the minor. In hindsight, it was the right move. I would not have communicated anything with any level of coherence in a state of dripping terror
