That part REALLY bothered me. Yeah, a tumblr full of angry defensive anons is totally the right place to address internet stalking and I'd definately admit to being harassed in front of people who'd flat-out deny my "wild accusations" just because the person harassing me is mildly famous and comes across as so nice in videos ...
Actually, that makes me REALLY angry now, considering what one of my best friends has gone through in her life. There's no better way to get me angry than to start victim-blaming.
I think people say Rants is nice because for the most part he's in charge of this big opinionated mess, and he gets upset and anxious when people are upset because of the blog. It's a pity kind of thing, like, I feel bad that someone who's socially awkward is trying to deal with tricky situations. But at this point it's irresponsible at times, like with the JO thing or the "someone is stalking people" thing. He really shouldn't be in charge of the blog by himself, he takes things too personally and he hasn't learned from past situations.
Can we talk about how much the tgwtgrumors person rocks? 'Cause they make me happy.
