ETA: You win.
I'm a well-known journalist and rape survivor rights activist in my country. This is who I am. You've all heard my voice.
Hi, I'm Prawny, and this is my story.m4a
I have experienced online harassment for my activism for the last eleven years. I finally thought I was free and safe in the Reddit NSFW audio community. I confided in members of the community about my past, only for them to use that information to track down my abusers and doxx me to them and then to the general public. The justification? Lies told by the exact same people who have been stalking, harassing and abusing me for more than a year. Lies I publicly proved were complete fabrications six months ago already.
And not once did anyone in the audio community ask me what really happened or for my side of the story. Not once. Instead, you gleefully handed me over to a group of people who have harassed not just me but many other people, including other rape survivors, for over a year. You handed me over to people who have stalked me relentlessly for a year, repeatedly threatened me, and doxxed me on multiple occasions.
You doxxed a rape survivor and fellow sex worker to her abusers and stalkers, without even having the decency to ask her once to account for the accusations and if there's any truth to them (there isn't).
I've never abused or harassed anyone, not once, not ever. And the proof is right here where I published it in September 2024 already. Here and here, too.
And here's even more that couldn't fit into a single Twitter thread—
My response to the document of "evidence" (ha!) against me, where I clearly prove that "evidence" is nothing more than malicious and deliberate fabrications and absolute lies.
Harassment of multiple rape survivors in the BG3 fandom (TRIGGER WARNING: mocking sexual trauma; suicide baiting; threats of violence etc)
These are the people who wrote the document that you used to justify doxxing me. This is what they've done not just to me, but countless others, and have done since at least February 2024.
Maybe instead of believing whatever bullshit known abusers tell you and using it to abuse and destroy their victims on their behalf, it would be good to, idk, actually ensure the "evidence" proves what it says it does. Perhaps by, say, checking whether the screenshots aren't actually maliciously EDITED and CROPPED, just as they are in that document on me. All of which you would have known, had you asked me before you doxxed me to the very people I've been trying to escape since they last doxxed me in December by exposing my personal BlueSky account (with my full name) to those stalking and abusing me, putting my family members, colleagues and others following me there at risk.
Before you decide to doxx someone based on a document you got from anonymous strangers, the least you can do is ensure said document is actually based on verifiable facts, not lies spun by bigoted anti-kink conservatives with a documented history of harassing queer people, people of colour, disabled people, and rape survivors over fiction.
"The existence of 'evidence' is not proof. The evidence must do the proving."
ETA: Even if every single accusation against was true (and again, I have repeatedly proven that they are not), how do you not only justify doxxing a sex worker, but celebrate doing so as if you're some kind of heroes and then victimise her further?
Do you have any idea what you've done? I'm guessing no, since most of you are happily ensconced in your first world countries, not in South Africa, like I am, where I'm in actual danger because of this. Or is it that you do know, and your clout online is more important than another human being's life and safety?
I'm not going to let narrow-minded, bigoted, abusive fools dictate my life and choices anymore. I spent a decade in hiding, and I'm done.
