I’ve been mulling over this message for a bit since there are so many problematic aspects of it and I can’t decide which is the most upsetting: - that someone thinks a fifteen year old girl deserved to be murdered for being female, Jewish, or both. - that someone thinks a strange woman on the internet deserves to be murdered for voicing opinions on feminism. - that someone created a tumblr blog for the sole purpose of sending vitriolic message(s?) to strangers. - that someone felt strongly enough to voice this hate, but not strongly enough to be held accountable for it. - that someone might not actually feel this way, but thinks it’s a funny joke or an effective way to shut down people they don’t like. - that someone thinks this is an acceptable way to behave because they’ve seen it happen repeatedly all over the internet and don’t think there are any consequences. - that someone equated themselves with Ahab, often considered a devil-worshipping man on a doomed quest to destroy greatness out of spite and impotent rage, and probably was not considering it ironically. - that someone thinks captain is spelled captian. -- source link
