Yall really, collectively, need to get over this mindset that person A must block person B because B is being abusive. Here's a novel concept, instead of telling A to block B to make the abuse stop, tell B to stop being abusive 🤷‍♀️ This definitely applies to people who say "block
Me or I will keep abusing you". You're telling a victim to stop getting abused instead of telling an abuser to stop abusing or just you not abusing someone, and you dont see any problem with that? Put this into any other context and it becomes clear why it's a problem.
"If someone is hitting you just block them out" but it never occurs to you to say "stop hurting that person" to the abuser. This is the same energy people use to blame others for their own rapes and even murders. "Well if you just do xyz you wont get abused" no. Full stop.
Abusers will abuse people because THEY LIKE IT. I know that's a hard pill to swallow but it's true. There are people in this world who, with all sincerity, enjoy making others suffer and there is nothing you can do to make them stop abusing people. They will do it. But instead of
Trying to control the victims or their reactions, keep telling the abuser they are wrong until it clicks. Keep telling the abusers to stop being abusive. Dont give up and switch back to controlling the victims reactions to abuse. Keep telling abusers they are wrong until itClicks
This especially applies to Twitter. Twitter is notorious for having the most flimsy blocking system on any social media platform that I am aware of. I can still see people I have muted and/or blocked and there are still people replying to me after I block them. It doesn't work.
