To be clear- I AM NOT saying that reddit or 4chan supports these communities. I love reddit. I just think it's time we stop saying well it's the "internet" so trolls will be trolls and women just have to 'deal' with it.
We can say 'no, this is unacceptable behavior' and not allow violent threats against women to be tolerated on the platforms that we love.

- nickthemagicman 12y agoAnd how the hell do you plan to stop it? You should know there's also racism on the web, vulgar pictures of Mohammed, massive amounts of patent law violations, criticism of govts, violent threats against every race class and walk of life on a microsecond basis. Yet somehow offended rich first world women is finally the 'intolerable' situation big enough to "not allow on the platforms that we love." Please. Trolls are the canary on the coal mine signaling a free uncensored internet. You should be grateful for them. And yes you do have to suck it up and deal with it just like everybody else. Which apparently isn't a problem for Jennifer Lawrence.
