3 months agoThe replies in this thread are disturbing, giving me a sense that Lemmy has a misogyny problem; maybe I was naïve, but I expected outrage about 4chan doxxing women trying to protect one another, instead I see lots of revenge enjoyment as if being doxxed on 4chan is justice for … <checks notes> warning one another about dangerous men they encounter when dating?
The inability to empathize and take seriously the threats posed to women or to understand their motivation to protect one another is alarming.
There is no good faith extended, but also no evidence presented that instead of safety the app was just for gossip, it’s just taken as assumed that women are wrong for using Tea and they all deserve to be doxxed.
I have a “security blanket” too, but it’s a pillow I was given as a small child.
I’ve also felt ashamed for sleeping with it, it feels like it makes me infantile or not grown up, so I put it in a closet for many years. The past year or two, though, I’ve realized the comfort is more important to me than feeling ashamed, so I sleep with the pillow every night, usually I hug the pillow and sleep with it against me. It’s one of the few such comforts, and nothing else comforts me like it - even other pillows or plushes I have tried.
