there’s a trend for women accounts on here to get obsessive reply guys that respond to everything right after following you, and they’re always nice. then they dm and you start off friendly bc you don’t want to be rude. and then they say something on the fence that’s uncomfy

before you know it they are making sexual comments/jokes in replies to every tweet. they ask for your venmo/cash app. sometimes they even say “sorry if i’m bothering you!”.

i talked to a mutual yesterday that made a reply about it. it’s a weird situation of feeling bad about

blocking. but also feeling stressed that their replies are making you uncomfortable even if they’ve not said something outright offensive. it’s easy to block an account that calls you a bitch. it’s harder to block an account that started off nice in the beginning

bc at least for me, i feel like i’m over reacting. it’s always rapid fire too. it’s within a few days of following and it’s overwhelming

pls be aware this happens frequently to more women than you might think. if you think you might be doing this, lay off

my advice to other women going through this? just block. if their replies make you uncomfortable, just do it. it’s your account: it’s okay to set boundaries and enforce them

also i want to clarify that this is not aimed at mutuals you regularly interact with. i’m talking fresh accounts that follow you and immediately cross boundaries within a couple days
