Not Dylan.
I thought about starting the “NoodlesAndBeefLeftovers” from one of my other blogs. The obvious choice to expand the message faster, was one with a bigger following, but I went with my gut and created an independent blog I could turn on or off, for my sanity.
I have seen lives ruined by internet trolls (via negativity and anxiety inducing death threats). There are some evil motherfuckers out there that will go out of their way and spend time and money to silence anything that exposes their hypocrisy or stupidity.
One that comes to mind is BeardedActivist. He lost his livelyhood, got kicked out of the house by his dad, got constant death threats, and now he’s begging for money to restart his life… all for calling out racist/ supremacists/ GOP’s bullshit. (No, I’m not Manvinder, or Dylan or his crew, or paid by them either and just to be safe, I have unfollowed him for a while, so nobody goes one by one on his 33.7k followers and figures out who I am. Thanks to BeardedActivist’s experience I’m ok with being a bit paranoid about identity security.
Mob mentality is shit and it’s obvious you don’t have to be on the right side to be on the mob’s side. So nope, my identity is irrelevant to which side I’m on, and my safety and sanity is much more important than any of you or whatever you’re rooting for.
You can bitch and moan about my opinions as much as you want online, it’s your right, but if I get anything that remotely seems like a believable threat to my well being or I notice ANY stalking behavior, I will definitely report it. The law does NOT protect criminal activity, specifically death threats or aggravated harassment and Tumblr will cooperate with the authorities, just in case you didn’t know. If you’re unsure of what whether your private messages can be qualify as threats, click here. Also, “jk” doesn’t defend you, for more info click here.

Most people that simply disagree, as it’s their right to do, shouldn’t be affected, but I’m not playing around with my safety, hope you can understand.
