When “Accountability” Becomes Abuse - My Experience With Online Harassment Campaigns:
When “Accountability” Becomes Abuse - My Experience With Online Harassment Campaigns:
Over the past few days I’ve experienced what I genuinely believe to be targeted online abuse and coordinated harassment.
People often think abuse only counts when it is physical, but abuse can also be psychological, social, reputational, emotional, and digital.
What I have experienced includes:
- Public humiliation and mass pile-ons.
- False allegations being repeated as fact without evidence.
- Encouragement of mass-reporting campaigns against my pages and work.
- Attempts to isolate me socially and professionally by tagging organisations and community spaces I support.
- Character assassination and reputational harm.
- Gaslighting and repeated attempts to invalidate my lived experiences.
- Mockery of my trauma responses and disability.
- Ableist language and attacks against me for using accessibility tools like AI.
- Attempts to portray me as mentally unstable for defending myself.
- Threats involving sharing my “private information”.
- Pressure campaigns demanding specific public responses while continuing escalation regardless of apology.
- Deliberate misrepresentation of psychological terminology to falsely accuse me of racism or hate.
- Encouraging strangers to fear, avoid, or report me based on unverified claims.
- Dogpiling behaviour designed to overwhelm and intimidate.
This is what online abuse can look like in real time. 🎯
I apologised sincerely to the family affected by the original tragedy because no malice was intended and I genuinely never wanted to cause further hurt. I was absolutely allowed to ask those targeting me to not do so. 🪬
What I did not expect was for that situation to become justification for ongoing harassment campaigns, false claims of criminal behaviour, accusations of racism and transphobia without evidence, and repeated public attacks on my character.
Criticism is one thing.
Sustained humiliation, intimidation, false allegations, and coordinated targeting is another.
Abusers will always aim to discredit those who see them for who they really are.
As a disabled creator and advocate, I refuse to accept that harassment becomes “acceptable” simply because people dislike AI, disagree with me, or decide I am an easy target.
I will continue advocating for respectful communication, boundaries, disability inclusion, accessibility, trauma awareness, and fact-checking before participating in online pile-ons.
You do not fight harm by becoming harmful yourselves.
