so i just learned that Cecilia D’Anastasio had abused other sexual assault survivors for the sake of a "steamy" article in which she twisted words and details to serve a sensationalized narrative...
both misrepresenting, further abusing, and endangering survivors
[thread]

she had also been confronted over this, and has been just as indifferent to the harm she has caused.

what she had done to me was in NO WAY a single instance.
she blatantly lied to me, and now i hear that she did the same to others,

AS WELL AS PUBLISHING INFORMATION THAT THE SURVIVOR EXPLICITLY SAID THEY ARE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH HAVING PUBLISHED

if it needs to be made anymore clear...

you (journalists) are literally ENDANGERING survivors when you twist words, lie to us, publish things that put us in danger, and dishonestly frame our narrative for your sensationalized story

for the story that Cecilia abused me for, i should remind everyone that she did the same to other sources (twisting information we gave her, taking things that we said we where not comfortable with having published)

Cecilia D’Anastasio is an abusive journalist who does not care about the truth. she will lie blatantly. she will abuse your story.
be extremely careful.
the harm her journalism has caused to survivors CANNOT be understated.

i've literally heard enough about this person. this is a pattern at this point.
you are platforming her if you share her work. you are endangering survivors by platforming her.

if you share her work, know that you are supporting an abuser.
you are literally part of the problem surrounding rape culture at that point.

it's one thing to do this for... idk dumb pieces about game ratings or how Riot Games handled their workforce... it's a completely other unspeakable thing to do that to sexual assault survivors.

do you actually want to get us killed?? is that worth a dishonest clickbait piece??

you should be aware that by treating us this way, by framing our stories like we where "flirting" with our abuser, or that we may have "wanted" what happened to us, and by blatantly misquoting us, YOU ARE PUTTING US IN DANGER

some context for what she did to me
