For the cruelty, I just have to strongly disagree, as it isn't about a few hateful messages. It is about you personally being dragged through the mud on platforms like twitter, being called out by people for content they don't like or through some weird guilt by association attack, that ends up attracting tons of posters and posts that twist your reputation and even say outright lies about you (because these things are like a game of telephone). I have had this happen to me twice. So I know it's real. And I know plenty of posters have seen this sort of thing play out online in forums, on social media, etc and been troubled by it. If you don't see it fair enough. But I think the way we've used things like ostracizing and shaming definitely has become very cruel and extremely hostile. And while I am sure for many who participated it was just a passing dopamine rush, and I am sure there are plenty who probably in good faith thought they were right and I was wrong, but the consequences of that kind of treatment of a human being online means when they go to apply for jobs, that shows up. When they go to look for an apartment, that shows up. And it can ruin your ability to earn not just in the industry but outside of it. And it massively gets in your head. I don't like talking about this, but since you don't seem to think it is real I will say it again because I want people to understand the human cost of this behavior: I nearly killed myself over it. I knew how I was going to do it, and the only thing that stopped me was the realization that if I got it wrong I could end up paralyzed or seriously brain damaged. I ended up going into therapy and working through it. And by the time I encountered the second situation, I was better able to navigate that. But this stuff affected me. And the problem is it is impossible to defend yourself and untwist peoples words in those kinds of situations as they play out on social media. And most of it comes from people who don't know you, don't know the full story, don't even know the details first hand and are just basing their opinion of a second or third hand tweet
