Imagine if this site just had proper tools to deal with harassment? This whole situation could have been avoided. Avery was pushed into desperation, we all watched her get no help from Tumblr after everything she had to endure. There has to be some leniency under which someone is allowed to express frustration with the people in charge for doing a poor job with protecting their userbase.
If Tumblr really wanted to make me take the point of "death threats are never okay" seriously, then there should have been effective and immediate tools for EVERYONE on the site to deal with death threats. Many of my friends on this site have had to suffer way worse things than being told "I hope you die". Tumblr just doesn't care enough to protect us. We aren't a protected class like staff is.
