i wonder if there's the potential for a solution to the doxxing fucking over marginalized people specifically thing and/or the some people only being able/knowing where to engage with community online thing if we we were able to like. weaponize the relative lack of actual anonymity in the opposite direction.
like for one thing, instead of doxxing just resulting in problems from others in person, using that information to actively support the person instead, and for another for the other potentially more targeted use of the internet to find people to engage with in person (although that one you'd have to be even more careful about in case it worked in the opposite direction. I'm just thinking it would be nice to have something more structured/widespread than happening to find out your internet friends are in your local area, that could potentially be used to circumvent people not meeting in third spaces/other issues people have initially finding local community in person.)
It would be nice if instead of exclusively finding offline solutions/telling people how to be more careful we could also use what's often part of the problem to our advantage when it does happen. Like, having a way to address it that isn't only preventative.
#no idea whether it's actually practical im essentially just thinking outloud#if we could have another pokemon go thing where people have the opportunity to#encounter each other on a friendly basis in person because of their phones that would also be nice#idk how you'd do some of this in a way that's actually 'safe' though#mypost#the doxxing response thing would have to be either like. a general cultural shift which is probably very unlikely#or a targeted attempt to support people affected that extends to their local area#and the other would kind of just require people to be fine with telling people online roughly where they are it seems like#unless there's some additional vetting process or something you could use first#which would obviously have a bunch of risks + more for some people than others#but like. part of my personal situation re online safety#is that a. i've already been on here and posting shit since i was a younger teen#and it would be practically impossible to make my normal social media doxx-proof to begin with#and b. none of my political opinions or me being trans or anything are exactly a secret in person#so anything someone could try to harass me with in person would either be trying to just like. embarass me in general i guess (useless)#telling people something they already know (also useless)#lying (could cause mostly temporary problems with the wrong person at most)#swatting (okay yeah this one could cause problems if they're stupid enough#to fall for it but also i don't really think there's anything to be done about it)#or other threats to my physical safety (people can do that anyway considering how outwardly visible i am about my#opinions/being trans/etc + that would require them to be in my phsyical proximity as well)#so basically my threat model for internet security is way more lax on General Social Media than a lot of people would think it should be#and i've used the same url for events i've attended in person#but considering that people could definitely find me if they really wanted one way or the other + there's nothing really. secret? on here.#like. there's stuff i wouldn't randomly bring up in conversation but none of this is something i'm actively hiding really#and then if there's something i do want to use the internet for but want to keep Secret secret from my irl identity#that's just a whole different account that i'm creating#tldr you can't realistically intimidate me by threatening to reveal information that's already public knowledge#i guess maybe once i move i'll have to reconsider whether i want to try a new threat model since some of the infomation people would be abl#to get easily would be outdated but i also almost prefer it to stay mostly a moot point so people can't effectively use it as leverage

Hey- aaamh... Can i request headcannons for Mika, Eichi, Tsukasa, Natsume, Ritsu, Rei, Izumi and Kaoru trying to protect their s/o of somebody who somehow hurted or threatened her? I love the blog btw- Everything is so adorable... I really wish the matchups were open tho- Well, i guess i'll wait~ Anyway, thanks a lot~
aaaah thankyou so much for the nice words !!!!! also maybe matchups will be open again insomething like a week, once most of them are cleared ! - mod mademoiselle
Mika :
That boywould be shaking in fear yet he’d try to stand in front of you to prevent thatperson to get close to you !
He’d shylyask them to maybe go away and get lost, and of course he’d stutter and lookeven less scary than he already was…
Mika’spretty scrawny too, so of course no one would take him seriously if he tried tophysically threaten them and you’d end up being more scared for him than foryourself !
But if he’srubbed the wrong way, he can get really angry and then he’ll be ready to Fight™,no matter who the opponents are or even how many they are. They could be sevenand all super scary and fit, and he’d still try to punch them in the face.
He’dprobably cry a bit without noticing too, especially if they managed to hurt youor make you scared. Mika would be so surprised to noticed that yes, tears arein fact rolling down his cheeks, but he’d let you wipe them away, even huggingyou right after. You’re safe, and that’s the most important thing to him.
Eichi :
Sure, hemay look frail and delicate, but he’ll remain serene no matter what happens.You’re about to get hurt by someone ? He’ll still calmly come to you and askyou what exactly happened.
He has nointention to get into a fight, after all he’d probably lose it if there wasone… But he’s extremely talented to talk his way out of situations !
He’d startthreatening them, hinting that there would be consequences and that he’d besure to remember them. If it’s someone you know, it’s even worse : he’ll gettheir names from you and won’t forget anything that happened. Besides, healways has bodyguards on standby just in case.
Eichi will use his name and status as aweapon. He has enough money to hire a lawyer and file a lawsuit if anythinghappens, and he’ll definitely consider it, even though you managed to get outof it unharmed thanks to him.
You’ll haveto stop him from putting the people who wanted to harm you on trial, because hewon’t forgive them. They tried to hurt you, his treasured lover, and he wouldnever let anyone lay even a finger on you.
Tsukasa :
PoorTsukasa has fragile nerves, and he’ll probably rush to you in a panic shouldanything happen to you ! His first reflex would be to check if you’re alright, butthen he’d quickly shift focus to the people who threatened you instead.
As soon ashe saw you were in danger, all rationality was put aside. He’d startthreatening them back, even though they might not be impressed by his rathershort stature. That would anger him even more…
He’dprobably want to get into a fight (hell, he’d be ready to), but as you managedto stop him he reconsidered. He doesn’t want to do anything you’d be against !
Heeventually just decided to get some help, and sure enough, the bullies quicklygave up and went away : it’s not worth it if more people come to team up onthem, after all.
Tsukasawould be devastated he couldn’t be of any help to you, being incapable to fendthem off by himself, but you’d reassure him : he did protect you after all !He’d feel a little better but still try to be wary of anyone who could mean youharm.
Ritsu :
Ritsu’sbehavior will vary drastically depending on whether it happens during the dayor at night. He’s a night person, after all, and so he’s not in the best shapeduring the day…
If someonetries to hurt or threaten you at night, he’ll take it upon himself topersonally make sure they leave you alone and unharmed. If he has to resort toviolence, then so be it. He certainly won’t mind getting into a fight if it’sto protect you.
If ithappens during the day, he’s more likely to want to avoid any confrontationinstead. He feels tired and dizzy, and he doesn’t want to just faint on you insuch a critical situation. He’ll just curse them and take you away as fast ashe can.
He’ll onlystop once he’s sure the two of you managed to get out of it safe and sound, to make sure you’re alright and nottoo shaken. Expect him to hug you tight, whispering sweet nothings to you. Hemay be trying to act calm and cool, but he’s just as worried as you are…
Ritsu wouldbe extra careful after that incident, and he’d start getting even morepossessive. He doesn’t want anyone to hurt you, so he’ll always be loomingthreateningly behind you like some creepy shadow. That’s his own unique way oftrying to protect you !
Natsume :
It’sliterally impossible to see Natsume being anything other than unfazed. He’ll keep thatcharacteristic smile of his even as you’re being threatened right in front ofhim. It’s pretty hard to tell what he’s thinking in those times…
But whilehe looks amused, his mind is reeling. He probably can’t fight them off byhimself, so he has to resort to another solution. Preferably one using his…unique abilities. That is, outsmarting them.
As theprovocation master he is, he’ll be quick to get their attention on himself.Then, he’ll resort to every dirty trick he has up his sleeve. Intimidation,bluffs, even outright lies said with a straight face. He wants them to leavenow, and he knows they won’t unless they feel they can’t get anything from it.
Once theyfinally give up and leave, he’ll check on you wordlessly. He wants to make sureyou’re fine before he drags you away, just in case they might get bright ideasand come back. He’ll be eerily quiet afterwards, seemingly lost in thought.
The truthis, he’s wondering what would have happened should his little plan not haveworked. He’ll make sure to keep an eye on you from now on, no matter what youdo. He wouldn’t risk having it happen a second time, after all…
Rei :
Once he sawyou were being threatened, Rei would react immediately, not wasting a singlesecond. He’d step up and eye his newly-found opponents from head to toes, andwith a smile to boot.
You knowhe’s a smooth-talker, but you didn’t think it extends to intimidation. When hewants to, Rei can look scary. You’renot even sure they would’ve tried to threaten you if they even saw Rei was withyou at the time…
He’s talland looks confident, not hesitating to get up close and confrontational withthem. If you didn’t know him as well as you do, you’d also think he’s up for afight… except you know he’s an actual grandpa and wouldn’t be able to face themoff this way.
Yet theyseem convinced, and will quickly run away with just a little bit more “coaxing”from your boyfriend. As expected from Rei, bluffing wherever he goes…
But whatreally matters to him is you, and he’ll make sure you’re fine. He’ll spend therest of the day taking good care of you, making sure you feel nice and you’renot scared anymore. You won’t have too much trouble getting relaxed : with Reiby your side, you’re certain no one can even touch you without yourpermission…
Izumi :
You’re theperson Izumi treasures most. He’d be ready to do absolutely anything if you askfor it, even though he might act like he doesn’t want to put up with yourwhims. But if you’re about to get hurt ? Oh boy. He’ll get angry.
You don’tthink you’ve ever seen him like that : he looks positively out of his mind.He’s shouting and threatening your aggressors, stepping up to them and lookinglike he’s ready to fight…
Should youtry to deter him from it, he’ll just grab your arm and push you behind him. Hedoesn’t want you hurt. At first he won’t listen to you, but eventually he’llrealize he can’t just fight with strangers in the street. The consequences wouldbe too much.
Eventually,the thought that he might lose and they might end up hurting you would be toomuch. He’d just take your hand and make a run for it, only stopping once you’refar enough from them. He knows you’re fine, since he reacted before they hadtime to hurt you, yet he can’t help but check on every single part of yourbody.
To be fair,Izumi tends to lose his mind when you’re in danger. Should you not have stoppedhim, he probably would have tried to fight them off on his own. While he won’tthank you, he’ll remember it and be glad you’re there by his side. It’s almostlike you’re protecting him too, in your own way… and he loves it.
Kaoru :
You knowKaoru tends to act before thinking things over when he’s angry, but you didn’tthink he’d actually go so far. Maybe he got panicked, or just didn’t think itthrough, but he’s now insulting strangers in the middle of a street becausethey threatened you.
While youjust want to go away, and quick, he doesn’t seem to get it and instead startsthreatening the guys. He swatted your hand away when you were trying to grabhis arm to get him to move. To Kaoru, things just got personal : they’re tryingto hurt you ? They might as well hurt him.
In spite ofyou trying to prevent him from doing things he’d regret, Kaoru didn’t hesitateone second to get into a fight. He didn’t even think about himself : you riskbeing hurt ? He’ll protect you himself and fight them off.
Obviously,things didn’t go well and you had to run with him before he could get seriouslyinjured. He still got a few hits to the face though, but insisted he was fine,even wanting to check if you weren’thurt.
While youwere angry at him for fighting, it was out of worry more than anything else.But then again, he started fighting out of worry too. In the end, you both justmoved on from this, remembering only the important part : you’d both beready to do anything to protect the other.
