Innocent hobby or vile actions? The troll in your comments
When I was writing my column on the joy of Threads last week, little did I know that drama would take over.
In response to a female photographer calling out someone else for past transphobic and racist comments (involving the attic lady drama), a male on the Internet (I hesitate to call him a man) decided that that woman had gotten too uppity and it was up to him to take her down. That meant threatening her and anyone who defended her in increasingly unhinged posts, even seeming to include the threat of livestreaming her murder.
After many, many reports made to Threads and the police, his account was finally deactivated. However, he has continued posting on Instagram as well as BlueSky, claiming he was the one getting death threats (dude, you posted your own address and said yourself that no one showed up to challenge you, so ... doubtful). He also has continued his harassment of the woman, just not on Threads anymore.
More to the point, he posted that he's gone viral twice this year so far, once because of supposed suicidal ideation (I'm not convinced in extensive reading of his posts), and the second because people decided he was a danger to others (claiming you can kill with impunity will do that).
That really says all you need to know about this guy, who on his blog profile describes himself as an Internet troll,........
