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 heā€™d try to stand in front of you to prevent thatperson to get close to you !
Heā€™d shylyask them to maybe go away and get lost, and of course heā€™d stutter and lookeven less scary than he already wasā€¦
Mikaā€™spretty scrawny too, so of course no one would take him seriously if he tried tophysically threaten them and youā€™d end up being more scared for him than foryourself !
But if heā€™srubbed the wrong way, he can get really angry and then heā€™ll be ready to Fightā„¢,no matter who the opponents are or even how many they are. They could be sevenand all super scary and fit, and heā€™d still try to punch them in the face.
Heā€™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 heā€™d let you wipe them away, even huggingyou right after. Youā€™re safe, and thatā€™s the most important thing to him.
Eichi :
Sure, hemay look frail and delicate, but heā€™ll remain serene no matter what happens.Youā€™re about to get hurt by someone ? Heā€™ll still calmly come to you and askyou what exactly happened.
He has nointention to get into a fight, after all heā€™d probably lose it if there wasoneā€¦ But heā€™s extremely talented to talk his way out of situations !
Heā€™d startthreatening them, hinting that there would be consequences and that heā€™d besure to remember them. If itā€™s someone you know, itā€™s even worse : heā€™ll gettheir names from you and wonā€™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 heā€™ll definitely consider it, even though you managed to get outof it unharmed thanks to him.
Youā€™ll haveto stop him from putting the people who wanted to harm you on trial, because hewonā€™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 heā€™ll probably rush to you in a panic shouldanything happen to you ! His first reflex would be to check if youā€™re alright, butthen heā€™d quickly shift focus to the people who threatened you instead.
As soon ashe saw you were in danger, all rationality was put aside. Heā€™d startthreatening them back, even though they might not be impressed by his rathershort stature. That would anger him even moreā€¦
Heā€™dprobably want to get into a fight (hell, heā€™d be ready to), but as you managedto stop him he reconsidered. He doesnā€™t want to do anything youā€™d be against !
Heeventually just decided to get some help, and sure enough, the bullies quicklygave up and went away : itā€™s not worth it if more people come to team up onthem, after all.
Tsukasawould be devastated he couldnā€™t be of any help to you, being incapable to fendthem off by himself, but youā€™d reassure him : he did protect you after all !Heā€™d feel a little better but still try to be wary of anyone who could mean youharm.
Ritsu :
Ritsuā€™sbehavior will vary drastically depending on whether it happens during the dayor at night. Heā€™s a night person, after all, and so heā€™s not in the best shapeduring the dayā€¦
If someonetries to hurt or threaten you at night, heā€™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 wonā€™t mind getting into a fight if itā€™sto protect you.
If ithappens during the day, heā€™s more likely to want to avoid any confrontationinstead. He feels tired and dizzy, and he doesnā€™t want to just faint on you insuch a critical situation. Heā€™ll just curse them and take you away as fast ashe can.
Heā€™ll onlystop once heā€™s sure the two of you managed to get out of it safe and sound, to make sure youā€™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 heā€™s just as worried as you areā€¦
Ritsu wouldbe extra careful after that incident, and heā€™d start getting even morepossessive. He doesnā€™t want anyone to hurt you, so heā€™ll always be loomingthreateningly behind you like some creepy shadow. Thatā€™s his own unique way oftrying to protect you !
Natsume :
Itā€™sliterally impossible to see Natsume being anything other than unfazed. Heā€™ll keep thatcharacteristic smile of his even as youā€™re being threatened right in front ofhim. Itā€™s pretty hard to tell what heā€™s thinking in those timesā€¦
But whilehe looks amused, his mind is reeling. He probably canā€™t fight them off byhimself, so he has to resort to another solution. Preferably one using hisā€¦unique abilities. That is, outsmarting them.
As theprovocation master he is, heā€™ll be quick to get their attention on himself.Then, heā€™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 wonā€™t unless they feel they canā€™t get anything from it.
Once theyfinally give up and leave, heā€™ll check on you wordlessly. He wants to make sureyouā€™re fine before he drags you away, just in case they might get bright ideasand come back. Heā€™ll be eerily quiet afterwards, seemingly lost in thought.
The truthis, heā€™s wondering what would have happened should his little plan not haveworked. Heā€™ll make sure to keep an eye on you from now on, no matter what youdo. He wouldnā€™t risk having it happen a second time, after allā€¦
Rei :
Once he sawyou were being threatened, Rei would react immediately, not wasting a singlesecond. Heā€™d step up and eye his newly-found opponents from head to toes, andwith a smile to boot.
You knowheā€™s a smooth-talker, but you didnā€™t think it extends to intimidation. When hewants to, Rei can look scary. Youā€™renot even sure they wouldā€™ve tried to threaten you if they even saw Rei was withyou at the timeā€¦
Heā€™s talland looks confident, not hesitating to get up close and confrontational withthem. If you didnā€™t know him as well as you do, youā€™d also think heā€™s up for afightā€¦ except you know heā€™s an actual grandpa and wouldnā€™t be able to face themoff this way.
Yet theyseem convinced, and will quickly run away with just a little bit more ā€œcoaxingā€from your boyfriend. As expected from Rei, bluffing wherever he goesā€¦
But whatreally matters to him is you, and heā€™ll make sure youā€™re fine. Heā€™ll spend therest of the day taking good care of you, making sure you feel nice and youā€™renot scared anymore. You wonā€™t have too much trouble getting relaxed : with Reiby your side, youā€™re certain no one can even touch you without yourpermissionā€¦
Izumi :
Youā€™re theperson Izumi treasures most. Heā€™d be ready to do absolutely anything if you askfor it, even though he might act like he doesnā€™t want to put up with yourwhims. But if youā€™re about to get hurt ? Oh boy. Heā€™ll get angry.
You donā€™tthink youā€™ve ever seen him like that : he looks positively out of his mind.Heā€™s shouting and threatening your aggressors, stepping up to them and lookinglike heā€™s ready to fightā€¦
Should youtry to deter him from it, heā€™ll just grab your arm and push you behind him. Hedoesnā€™t want you hurt. At first he wonā€™t listen to you, but eventually heā€™llrealize he canā€™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. Heā€™d just take your hand and make a run for it, only stopping once youā€™refar enough from them. He knows youā€™re fine, since he reacted before they hadtime to hurt you, yet he canā€™t help but check on every single part of yourbody.
To be fair,Izumi tends to lose his mind when youā€™re in danger. Should you not have stoppedhim, he probably would have tried to fight them off on his own. While he wonā€™tthank you, heā€™ll remember it and be glad youā€™re there by his side. Itā€™s almostlike youā€™re protecting him too, in your own wayā€¦ and he loves it.
Kaoru :
You knowKaoru tends to act before thinking things over when heā€™s angry, but you didnā€™tthink heā€™d actually go so far. Maybe he got panicked, or just didnā€™t think itthrough, but heā€™s now insulting strangers in the middle of a street becausethey threatened you.
While youjust want to go away, and quick, he doesnā€™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 : theyā€™re tryingto hurt you ? They might as well hurt him.
In spite ofyou trying to prevent him from doing things heā€™d regret, Kaoru didnā€™t hesitateone second to get into a fight. He didnā€™t even think about himself : you riskbeing hurt ? Heā€™ll protect you himself and fight them off.
Obviously,things didnā€™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 werenā€™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 : youā€™d both beready to do anything to protect the other.
