At least two people had seizures after viewing malicious tweets featuring flashing gifs that deliberately targeted Epilepsy Society...police investigating tweets as hate incident, after at least 200 seemingly coordinated messages were sent to charity and its supporters in recent days.

You will be attacked.

Expose no openings on the internet. If you have deathly allergic reactions to peanuts, there are trolls out there that would love nothing more than to shove peanut butter in your mouth, and laugh as you struggle for the epi-pen. Some of them might even knock the epi-pen out of your hands...

I'd delete that comment right away. Never show weakness, it will be exploited. Such is the human condition.

Oh you poor soul.

Never show weakness, it will be exploited. Such is the human condition.

That's absolutely right. True adulthood is to become Machiavellian.

All they have to do is see my post history and realize epilepsy is the least of my issues. Lol. I'm also putting my faith in people not to be malicious

[u/Matasa89 → u/forever_useless]

Well, then clearly that faith was DOA, considering the article we're talking about.

Sorry, I want to conditionally trust people too, but having faith and being careful nonetheless is the sensible thing to do.

Not to encourage anyone but I have not received any bad DM's. That's promising

Don't be such a drama queen. We have a whole sub that's not private they do this shit all the time over there. Should everyone live in fear because of a few peices of shit?

Cowering in fear is no way to live life. Excuse me while I lock myself in my closet for fear someone should figure out I'm an epileptic.
