That still sounds like victim blaming to me? Yes, there are a ton of shit people in the world, but I feel like rather than "she shouldn't have taken up that career", we should instead be fighting back against the idea that people are allowed to be this shitty:

  • What's up with these people that they give out so much abuse?
  • Did YouTube and other sites do anything to protect her?
  • What else can we do to protect vulnerable people from abuse while letting them do their job?
  • What support did she get? Could she have had more?
  • How can we prevent this from happening to the next content creator?

I don't know the answer to these, but just saying 'she shouldn't have started in the first place' feels like a massive cop out to me.
