Consent

     In light of events online and in my own life I wanted to say something and hopefully add to the conversation. First off I want to applaud all of these brave young woman for coming forward. For being so bold and vulnerable discussing abuse and manipulation. Abuse is never okay and it is NEVER the victims fault. 


     Pottermoosh made an amazing video discussing emotional abuse/manipulation.

   
     Vidcon started a task force to come up with ideas about how best to combat these issues and stop abuse from happening in our online communities. If you'd like more information, they can be found at the You Coalition. There will be a booth with information and resources about abuse at Vidcon this year and the convention issued a code of conduct. Misconduct will not be tolerated.
