Abigail (she/her)

Here’s the wikipedia page for the theory, which makes for a pretty cool read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant-impact_hypothesis

Some cool stuff:

• The other body was a mars-sized protoplanet called Theia.
• According to computer simulations, remnants of Theia could be still visible inside the Earth as two giant anomalies of the Earth’s mantle.
• By examining isotope ratios in lunar samples from the Apollo missions, we can see the moon and earth likely had a common origin.

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.
