Charlie Danger ranted on his Twitter account this Tuesday, October 25. Constantly threatened and victim of sexism on social networks, the YouTuber revealed that she had attempted suicide.
They are fed up. Being active on social networks is not always easy and these are not Charlie Danger and Maghla who will say the opposite. The two young women regularly make lives during which they can chat with Internet users while playing. This Tuesday, October 25, Maghla gave a rant, explaining that she was constantly sexualized on social networks. A revelation that prompted Charlie Danger, another Youtuber, to break the silence and tell her own story. “I have been silent and absent for 5 months. No video, nothing“, she began before adding: “I’ll say why when I never planned to, but it’s too important“. The rest of his message is heartbreaking since his subscribers did not expect such a revelation. “I jumped off a bridge 2 months ago“, she confided before however specifying: “I’m not saying this for yes yes, but if our cries for help aren’t enough, what should we do?“. In the comments, Charlie Danger wanted to provide some clarification.”For context: I was not suicidal. I had a huge panic attack following several months of intense, repeated harassment“, she revealed before indicating that Internet users have managed to “found my address, threatened me with rape and death“.
Just like Maghlah, the life of Charlie Danger has been spread out on social networks and Internet users have not been shy to give their opinion on his physique. “Hundreds of forum pages. Subreddits, emails, PMs. Everywhere, all the time. They comment on my physique“, she continued before adding: “I’m told how “unfuckable” I am, “not even with a stick” when I never asked for anything“. However, the comments do not stop there. “They make fun of the fact that I have already been sexually assaulted. We bring out the only mistake I’ve been able to make in 8 years of science popularization as proof that I would be a big idiot whose all the work is to be thrown away“, then laments the young woman. Very active on social networks, she then recalls that she never created her profile to be criticized or threatened. “Basically I just wanted to share my passion for history and archeology. I’m so sad about this situation, and I feel helpless“, she continued. She concludes her message by explaining that she wanted to put transparency in order to show the sad reality of what she experiences on a daily basis. “It’s also to talk about something that far too many women go through, and to tell you that you’re not alone or “zinzines“. We should be able to talk about it without dramatizing or judging. It is important“said Charlie Danger, who was able to count on the support of his subscribers.
Charlie Danger: has she sued?
Victim of criticism about his physique, threats and shocking comments, Charlie Danger wanted to take the lead. In her message, she explains that she “complained several times but none ever came to fruition“, she laments. “I was not even called to inform me of a possible classification, I lost hope of justice“, she continued before adding: “We’re exhausted“. Determined to be heard, the YouTuber wants other people to be heard, including Maghla and Baghera Jones, who have both made shocking revelations about the messages they may receive on a daily basis or the sexism from which they are victims.
