Hi sorry, but an anon ask said matt was sexually harassing Avery on twitter like a day or 2 ago and from the screenshots ive seen it was nasty harassment but I didnt see anything sexual, did I miss some form of context or something or was it an exaggeration? I keep seeing that ask on my dash so I figured I would ask. I hope this finds you well and that you have a good day
hello! i received another question about this earlier, which i replied to quite clearly here.
i’ll elaborate a little here, though: just like all sexual violence, sexual harassment is not always (and honestly not often) done by someone looking to get their rocks off. it is a weapon used by people who want to make someone feel violated and strip them of agency. it says “remember: you’re not in control of this situation. i can hurt you whenever i want.”
which is what’s happening here. matt posted those sideblog urls because he expected them to be sexually humiliating. he expected them to speak for themselves and allow people to judge avery as deviant and worthy of him stalking her over to twitter. he might not think that’s why he did it — men rarely do — but it’s pretty clear to those of us who’ve dealt with men like that.
