People need to be strong and wise enough to handle shit because there's no way to protect them from it at this point.
It goes for individuals dealing with bullshit but also the communities themselves.
One of the most important things is making people be able and willing to speak up, it sounds dumb but just having people be able to say what they think openly makes a world of difference, it can't be just one or two schizos, it needs to be normalized.
>>44121550100% it was the result of trans people, the way they are coddled and overprotected, the fact that they have been treated like indian cows and allowed to get away with everything they wanted has spoiled them to such an insane degree their echo chambers have 0 sanity checks and when they go unhinged no one is there to stop them.
For years we've had to endure the male hater boogeyman, how it's lonely parasocial men who are the scary monster that haunts vtubers but at most we saw a few menhera schizos obsessed with a vtuber, this was on another level, it was a massive level of harassment going on all over the scene.
I think the most possitive result of this is that a lot of people are openly saying "yeah I don't hate trans and I am ok with them in real life, but online, they are the worst human beings that exist".
So accountability is starting to happen slowly.
