Specifically, on threads about misogyny and sexism on the internet.
Esto lo tengo que decir en español, porque el inglés no me deja expresar bien la ira.
Me tienen las pelotas (jejeje) por el piso los pelotudos que hacen este tipo de cosas. Ayer leí los comentarios en el Guardian y la mayoría de los tipos comentaban cosas del estilo “bueno a todos nos maltratan por internet!! no es por ser mujer sino por tener opiniones” Yo tenía ganas de postear la lechuza esa que dice “O RLY?” porque me imagino que no a muchos tipos les ponen amenazas súper gráficas de violación.
In short: men who do that kind of thing are trolling and should be a bit more sensitive of other people’s feelings.
Yes and there is something else: I wholeheartedly agree with the idea of free speech. It IS an inalienable right and one we should defend. However, free speech, contrary to what many of these fools believe, does not mean that I, personally, need to provide you with the platform to express those ridiculous ideas. There are plenty of free blogging platforms. Use those, not the comments section of the site(s) I moderate because I do care about people not being unintentionally exposed to hateful stuff. So, I’ll delete to my heart’s content.
For the past decade and a half I have been making all my content available for free (and never behind a paywall) as an ongoing practice of ephemeral publishing. This site is no exception. If you wish to help offset my labor costs, you can donate on Paypal or you can subscribe to Patreon where I will not be putting my posts behind a lock but you'd be helping me continue making this work available for everyone. Thank you. Follow me on Twitter for new post updates.
