Gen. Chat “PSA: Don't Tolerate Those Who Harass Survivors” by John Booty John Booty 5 years ago on 07/13/14 Equipped: Sparkledonkey's Gallbladder If you tolerate those who harass, shame, and doubt shame rape survivors: you're a big part of the reason why sexual assault happens!
I thought I helped to put together a community that cared about each other, but I really failed there: a lot of you think this behavior is totally okay as long as it doesn't directly involve you. I hope our next community -- hopefully launching this year -- can do better. I hope I can do better. Remember that you are amazing and your voice matters a lot: your friends listen to you! The flip side is that your silence matters too: it's as good as high-fiving them and rewarding their behavior.

I thought our community would have stepped up and it didn't, and it's something that bites me in the ass right up until the present day. But, while this is clearly in response to the thing that happened a year ago, that is in the past and it's not changing. What we can do is be a lot better the next time!
