A while back, someone (I think Lizard) posted a Tumblr where a girl was receiving downright ridiculous amounts of anon hate, and encouraged us to go follow her and send her some love. So I did.
She's continuing to receive the hate. But more than that, she's not turning off anon. She's still responding to every hateful message she gets. She's continuing to expose herself to it.
I asked her why on Earth she's keeping herself open to it. She says that she thinks that she'll "lose" or "prove the haters right" if she cuts herself off from their messages or leaves Tumblr, and she doesn't want to miss stuff like contests for shiny Pokemon on the website.
I'm losing my ability to be concerned about her predicament. She's very obviously being hurt badly by all of this, but she's willingly exposing herself to mental anguish that looks like it could be driving her to do something very bad to herself.....over Pokemon and responding to questions.
