Have received vile messages because I liked a Bluey post on Insta

[Lis2025]

Just another vent! I recently liked a post about Bluey, the cartoon dog, on Instagram. I received a DM calling me a nonce lover, to kill myself…. Honestly what kind of vermin is out there. This ‘man’ has children of his own and it scares me to think about how they are being raised.

Is this someone you know, if so block & if not also block

There are a lot of angry men out there.

Report it to the police.

Men are getting worse online in the past few years I've found. Like actively angry.

I don't know much about Instagram. Is there no way to report PMs?

No, I don’t know them, luckily, and yes, blocked! Feel sorry for the people in his life, angry little ‘man’.

There are, it’s scary. I think social media makes it easier for them.

I reported it, not sure if it makes any difference.

Lock down your instagram so no one can message you unless they are following you/ you following.

There are some very strange people out there.

There are, it’s scary what is out there. My insta is private but he could send a message, maybe I need to check my privacy settings, thanks 🙏

Insta is full of awful people gagging for a chance to send abuse via DM. I locked down my privacy settings on that and Facebook so only friends can message me. This was after having several men message me after I commented on a post about an attack on a young woman in my area. I was assured that I’m far too ugly to be sexually assaulted. I do not understand why they felt the need. To take the time out of their lives to try and hurt me. Madness

There’s some scumbags out there. Hiding behind screens makes them think they can say what they say. Vile. Wouldn’t even call them ‘men’.

Did you find the setting for who can message you or see your stories? Because sometimes people can reply to that too. Make sure it's just who you follow.

I got a DM on Twitter once because I love being barefoot in public, and shared a photo of me walking along a smooth concrete pavement. It was raining, and being barefoot in it was glorious. The pavement was shiny and had a beautiful rainbow colours in the ground.

The DM, from a woman, made it extremely clear she hates all barefooters, that I should see a psychiatrist, that I should delete my account, I should kill myself. She ranted all kinds of vile junk at me. I didn't bother replying.

Those morons who hate barefooters don't have the intelligence to know that we are all actually BORN barefoot, as she was, until someone puts shoes on us!

So, Lis2025, just ignore the freaks, they have no intelligence, no life, they are Billy-No-Mates!

Yes, I did, thank you. It’s terrible the things we have to do to avoid vile people harassing us.

Wow, there’s some very angry people out there. I feel like lately people are so aggressive over absolutely everything. Very sad people.
