    I want you to explain how you came the conclusion that I said this harassment was ok when I unequivocally and clearly said it wasn’t.

    I already told you. You said the act of being a public figure means you are inviting harassment. If you don’t understand how this normalizes harassment, I don’t think there’s much else to say.

    Do you read comments before you respond?

    Allow me to quote myself where I a) showed that I read your comment, and b) anticipated your response:

    And don’t fucking tell me you’re not saying it’s okay, but public figures should “expect it”. No. Full stop. Fuck that. By saying they should expect it you’re fucking normalizing it and saying it’s okay.

    You can’t say public figures should expect harassment and are inviting it and then say people who harass them are not absolved. You are absolving them by saying it’s expected and invited.

            You:

            I mean at the end of the day if you don’t want people to come at you with their shit takes you shouldn’t put your stuff out for the public to see. That is also a choice.

                So a shit take is a public harassment?

                In the context of the comment you were responding to? Yes!

                Count your downvotes dude. Who is arguing in bad faith? I think you should take a second and go back and read the thread from the beginning from the mindset of someone who doesn’t know what’s going on in your head.

                In case it isn’t clear, it sounds like you’re belittling harassment to what you want to call a “shit take”, and that you think that harassment is basically the fault of the harrassee for doing whatever they do in “public”. Maybe that isn’t what you meant, but to the rest of us, that’s what you said.

                    I’m sorry is this argument hinging on our disagreeing about the term “shit take”?

                    You tell me. I’ve explained what it sounds like you’re saying to the rest of us.
