While I don’t like to see anybody hurt, I am not responsible for any threats of physical harm directed towards Ms. Moss. I am not making threats, nor is anyone in this thread making threats. Ms. Moss is responsible for the words she wrote. She is an adult. And I imagine she is learning a terrible lesson about what it means to be an adult.

I would very much appreciate your removing Zathlazip’s real name from your site. I understand that she has already received several threats of physical injury. This even though she had the post removed from the SASS site. What she posted may have been unkind, but I’m sure you don’t truly want to see anyone injured because of your posting. Thank you.

If you look on the SASS site they re-posted zathlazip’s post and are having a great time turning the misogyny firehose right back onto her.

There will be no posts on the actual SA thread coming out against this post. The thread itself is now closed for comments. SA is made for trolling and pileons, and the mods and community will ban and ceaselessly mock anyone who speaks up for decency.

I’d be very surprised if feminist responses to this didn’t also turn up in SA at some future point, thoroughly trivialized and mocked. Expect lots of “ha ha humorless feminist” jokes and Photoshopped sexually-degrading photos.

What the hell? I swear, the internet just makes people who are insecure assholes waste their days insulting strangers in a cowardly manner. I like the idea of outing them. That and every jackass on that forum cheering them on, because making fun of fat people is “made of win!”.

This reminds me of Jezebel’s weekly feature on gossip blogs attacking women. Those are the worst – they put down these beautiful thin women for being fat or ugly all the time.

Kind of a double-reverse “Big Brother” situation (except, like, “Big Sister”, instead). Chilling?

Thanks for the info on Ms. Moss. I’m one of the people at the convention and getting her identified so she can’t come back is excellent. Thank you so much.
