Contains general descriptions of online harassment and abuse.

If you know the name "weev" and do not know who Kathy Sierra is, you really should read this. Ms. Sierra was one of the earliest victims of massive Internet harassment, verbal abuse, doxing, and threats. She's back, telling her story and her story needs to be heard.

Her abusers have held the microphone for a long time - years - and have shaped the narrative and memory of what happened. If you care about this sort of thing, consider reposting this link where others can read it.

Thank you for the signal-boost - most of the re-posts and re-tweets have been from other women, which is at best preaching to the choir. I hates the gendered "authority gap"…


(and, yeah, met weev in person once. He struck me as being hyper-observant, very intelligent, and something about him gave me the cold shivers…)
