If you comment "marry me" on one of my videos or a post online, I will block you.

@vkc it started well, but escalated to awful very quickly

[vkc@linuxmom.net]

@gblues explain to me how *literally any of this* "started well."

[addie@mastodon.addisonchernow.com]

@vkc men?

[vkc@linuxmom.net]

@addie always

[gsuberland@chaos.social]

@vkc incredibly gross, sorry this human detritus floats your way :(

[vkc@linuxmom.net]

Most men either think this kind of behavior is acceptable, or think it's inevitable. Neither is true.

Dudes: stand up and stop it when you see it.

[csilverman@mastodon.social]

@vkc "in a non arm candy way". JFC.

Comments like that speak volumes about what the inside of this guy's soul looks like.

[addie@mastodon.addisonchernow.com]

@vkc ugh. Men.

[orionkidder@mas.to]

@vkc Gross. Adults should know to not behave like this.

[csilverman@mastodon.social]

@gblues There's absolutely nothing good about any of this, dude.

[themediumkahuna@tech.lgbt]

@vkc 🤮 ew! That’s so gross

[loke@functional.cafe]

@csilverman @vkc what does that even mean? And do I want to know?

Hey, since you said that you'd like to be more supportive:

If you have an audience, you can write about it to them. Make a post, share it with other people on other platforms, etc...
You don't have to share the link to or mention vkc, they probably have enough exposition already.

If you haven't tried this already, you can also try to pay attention on purpose for a few days in public spaces or workspaces, if you look for it, you'll see people staring and commenting poorly at women. Don't react straight away (unless you know how to) but it might help see the problems and know when and how they do it.

@vkc

There's a phrase in spanish that can be useful in such situations: "Te rajo la cara, mierdas."

If it sounds too rude, maybe you can add an emoji or something.

[rachaelava1024@tech.lgbt]

@vkc And people wonder why there's so much less good YouTube creators that are women (especially trans folks) than YouTube creators that are men. It's because of nonsense like this. It's sad, really.

[sablebadger@dice.camp]

@vkc that's just weird. And hard agree on the creepy factor.

[matty@blahaj.zone]

@gbsills@social.vivaldi.net It's her fault that she get harassed? Are you hearing yourself here?
