today i learned that advising someone to report certain crimes to the police is known as "victim blaming". society these days is a minefield i am not prepared for.

intentions are hard to convey in text and one wrongly placed word/response can quickly result in echoing outcry.

encounters like this leads to me further withdrawing from posting publicly online. possibly for the greater good!

make sure to read into things diligently and consider and respect all party's perspectives. it's what we strive for in every decision we make for osu!

stay safe
