I have been subjected to a new wave of cyberbullying over the past few days, with a new twist: after hundreds of hate messages sent via my blog and email, Second Life accounts are now sending me hateful and threatening messages, most of which refer to the sim where I currently play. These are junk accounts: they are empty and have apparently been inactive for a long time, and others were created a day or two ago and were clearly deleted shortly after sending me messages.<\/p>\n

I suppose that the fact that I have secured and further restricted the means of contacting me on my blog has motivated them to change their tactics a little.<\/p>\n

How does this make me feel? Hmmm… Imagine waking up in the morning, making your coffee, turning on your Second Life viewer to log in, and coming across this:<\/p>\n

\u201cGet out of *** and don’t come back to pollute it with your presence. Wokes are trash that we will soon make disappear, and you are the worst of them. You tell nothing but lies and fakes to spread your mental illness everywhere you go and poison Gor. But everyone will learn the truth about you (sic) and you will be banned from everywhere. We won’t let you continue.”<\/p>\n

Now multiply that kind of message, with the same kind of content and tone, by twenty (or by a hundred for cyberbullying via email or my blog). I’m already not exactly comfortable or happy on Gor Second Life right now. I’m not having fun, and I can’t seem to enjoy myself anymore, despite my efforts. Apart from Lyra (Kara’s mistress), I have virtually no roleplay partners left, I don’t belong to any IC groups of active players offering roleplay, and I am mostly alone and ignored. Whether I’m absent or present on the sim where I play, it makes no difference to anyone, since everyone ignores me despite my efforts; a curse of the kajirae that I will return to one day in an article.<\/p>\n

But on top of that, I have to add the stress of being cyberbullied and threatened even in my hobby, a hobby that, as I just said, isn’t going well for me. I’ve already talked about cyberbullying in the Gorean Archives, and my latest article on the subject is here: https:\/\/www.psychee.org\/gorpedia\/about-cyberbullying\/<\/a><\/p>\n

What you need to understand is that I don’t have many effective means of action to stop all this. It’s the wonderful world of anonymity on the Internet\u2014and on Second Life too. And it affects me. I’m not very sociable. I’m introverted, I’m distrustful, I isolate myself easily, and if I feel that I’m not welcome or that people are dismissive of me, I withdraw and don’t try to push it. So on top of that, there’s the agonizing stress of hatred and threats that remain intangible but are constant. I have no doubt that I am not very loved, that’s clear. So, since I don’t really feel appreciated to begin with, it only makes me feel worse.<\/p>\n

I wanted to expose the names of the SL accounts that harassed me here… but I changed my mind. That said, I will provide them to anyone who asks me. I have, of course, reported them to Second Life moderation. But I’ll show you the few messages I’ve kept:<\/p>\n
