Victim shaming & blaming (sexual harassment at Anthrocon)
Trigger Warning
“I kinda wanted to change the topic after yesterday’s post, but then I heard of a friend of a friend who was harassed by a middle-aged, pot-bellied man at Anthrocon. He made unsolicited and highly inappropriate sexual remarks, asked to touch her boobs and when she declined him, told her that if they hadn’t been in public, he would have done as he pleased anyway. She wrote a post to see if other women had received the same treatment from him so maybe people could identify him and AC staff could take steps against him and some other women did indeed come forward saying they had been harassed by a man of the same description and heard him walking around saying “Oh she’s sexy, I’d definitely fuck her.”
I’d love to show you this post and help further the effort to oust this creeper out of a way-too-trusting fandom with scores of potentially vulnerable individuals and help keep them safe from molestation by this individual at the very least. However, the woman was bullied and harassed into removing the post.”
