The callous and dismissive way some people respond to others talking about the harassment they face in fandom reminds me of how growing up, people would say things like “getting bullied builds character!” and “(they) just pick on you because they like you!”
As in, it is untrue and unhelpful, the bullies and the people who enable them just don’t want to take responsibility for their ilk and do their part to stop it
