seeing a post going around (which i”m only not commenting on directly bc it appears to be localized to a specific community), about how ppl act ‘tougher” or whatever online than they would offline.

its weird to me that ppl just don”t think about why this might be the case.

gee. i wonder why some ppl might not feel empowered or able to call out every act of micro/aggression directed at them irl.

i wonder what it is about online spaces that allows ppl to feel more empowered to assert their humanity.

i wonder.
