The positive side of Smear Campaigns:

The Positive Side of Smear Campaigns: As I continue to deal with unwanted attention, rumours and people forming opinions without knowing the full story, I've realised there is one positive outcome. Smear campaigns reveal people. Not me. Them. I've watched some people rush to judgement, repeat gossip and ignore evidence. I've seen individuals excuse threats, harassment and harmful behaviour because it suited their narrative. But I've also seen the opposite . I've seen kindness. I've seen loyalty. I've seen people check in on me, ask questions, offer support and refuse to join the mob mentality. The people who stayed, listened and showed compassion are the people worth keeping. A smear campaign doesn't cost you your people. It reveals who your people are. And for that, I'm grateful. ❤️✨ Sarah Wingfield ❤️  Actor • Author • Advocate  KawaiiDollDecora.uk #SarahWingfield #Advocacy #AutisticAdult #AuDHD #DisabilityAdvocate #TruthMatters #ChooseKindness #...

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 involvi...

Women are easy targets:

 Warning ⚠️ rant! Why do some men think they can attack women they don't even know online, and worse, use them as verbal punching bags.   It's pathetic bro. No one wants your incessant bs or lashing out - go take your issues up with a therapist or some shid. Cos there's far too many of you - and they clearly don't know the legal definition of harassment.  I will not get off the internet - I rarely do as I'm told, but especially not when I'm told off by losers. Byeeee!! #facts: • Some men externalise their frustration. Instead of sitting with shame, insecurity, rejection, or lack of control in their own lives, they project it outward. • Women online are visible, human, and (to them) “safe” targets — especially women who are outspoken, confident, disabled, political, or simply existing without permission. • They mistake disagreement for provocation, boundaries for arrogance, and a woman’s presence for an invitation. • And yes — many genuinely do not understand (or...

Twisting the Narrative:

Twisting the Narrative: People have continued to alert me that Retrophiliac is still twisting the narrative and producing judgemental content that has directly contributed to real-world harm against me. At no point did I say that any disabled person is intrinsically better than another. What I stated — clearly — is that the message matters more than the money, while also affirming that disabled creators absolutely deserve to be paid for their work. What disabled creators do not deserve is for larger pages to prioritise monetisation so aggressively that they demand content be removed unless it benefits them financially, or to weaponise their platforms by spreading false narratives that result in smaller creators being harassed, abused, or financially penalised — as I was. This situation was never about denying payment to disabled people. It is about values, ethics, and responsibility. When a platform is used to harm rather than help — especially by targeting smaller advocates — the issu...

When “Civil Matters” Have Real-World Consequences:

When “Civil Matters” Have Real-World Consequences I’m struggling to understand how what’s happening to me is being treated as a “civil matter” when the consequences are anything but civil. I have been publicly lied about. Not minor misunderstandings, not harmless gossip — but allegations that, if believed, put my safety at real risk. Yet I’m told this is not something the police can address. That it’s a matter for Facebook, page admins, or civil legal advice. At the same time, I was issued with a Community Protection Notice over a single comment and shares, made while speaking about mistreatment and harm I’ve experienced. That contradiction is impossible to ignore. If online behaviour is considered a civil issue, then it’s deeply concerning that enforcement action was taken against me, while repeated public misinformation about me continues unchecked and dismissed. False allegations do not exist in a vacuum. They shape how people see you, how they treat you, and whether you are safe in...

Vulnerable Disabled Woman Silenced by Police After False Allegations, Caught on Film: Contemporaneous Account – Police Attendance re Community Protection Notice Date: 25 November 2024 Recording: An audio and video recording of this interaction exists and is retained by me. On 25 November 2024, a police officer attended my address and sought to issue a Community Protection Notice (CPN) based on allegations relating to my online activity. The CPN was NOT signed or Dated, no officer details were provided and it did not state the start date or the end date. The officer stated that the justification for issuing the notice was that I had made “shares” online and that “there was more than one comment.”   No specific content was identified, no evidence was presented to me, and no explanation was provided as to how this activity met the statutory threshold required for a Community Protection Notice. I was not informed of my rights, including: my right to challenge the allegations, my right ...
