The frustration of silence

One of my new favourite blogs went private the other day. It’s so frustrating, and yet I completely understand it. Critical analysis of anything, especially trendy or popular things, tends to bring out the worst in people, and there’s really only so much hatred one can take. And as the blogger was doxxed, well, keeping safe is more important than anything else.

I just wish that people would stop being assholes just because the internet allows for anonymity.

We cannot allow censorship and silencing of individuals
