Well, mostly to keep following her.I want to say that's why the NightStar account was created originally, to keep tweeting at Doopie despite the block.
He tweeted an apology at her and got blocked again. No mention of an address or anything intimidating.
If someone I told to leave me alone didn’t stop messaging me and posted pornographic drawings of me, I’d say that goes beyond “creeping” but that’s a personal thing, I suppose. And e-stalking can be serious if someone is causing serious issue (for no good reason, to add, something like the Stinky debacle is justified) and distress, especially if it’s all coming from one person. But I’m not completely up to date on all the newer sagas, so I have sone reading to do before passing a personal judgement.
I think (and he can correct me if I'm wrong) @Keine meant "creeping" as a catchall grouping of everything that's not physical sexual assault, or stalking or any other, more specific crime. It's bad and emotionally damaging, but still a distinct class.Just commented about it now. The messaging her after she told him to stop, the posting doodles... it goes beyond “creeping” in my eyes. But I’m probably not as desensitized to it as you folk, so I understand that it’s a personal opinion.
Why's it a distinct class? Well, for one, stalking is much, much more serious because the person will literally show up at your house. That is intimidating to your physical safety in ways that merely saying gross shit isn't.
See, this is annoying as fuck, because when conversations about this come up, there's a constant trend of making everything Chris does, more dramatic in stupid ways that aren't justified by the situation.
Person A: oh, hey, so, yeah, Chris totally was talking to this chick at a bar, and he was giving her weird looks and groping her--
Person B: wait, what? Groping her?? As in grabbing her boobs
Person A: Yeah, dude, like, he was talking to her and saying weird shit
Person B: yeah, but, so, he was grabbing her physically?
Person A: Nah, but I mean, what's the difference? he's going to do it anyway, he's a pervert
Read the comments weens leave Chris on twitter or on any of his videos. There's this weird, persistent escalation going on. The myth precedes the man, it seems.
Though e-stalking isn't a thing, anymore than cyberbullying (as popularly conceived) is a thing. E-stalking will never affect your physical safety. Just your ability to fly under the radar on an international, publicly accessible data network. Which might be kind of annoying, but your life will still go on.
