Why is it so hard for these youtube, commercial etc quasi-celebs to accept that when you put yourself into the public light like this, you WILL ATTRACT SOME DICKS, the majority will be fine, but there are bound to be some losers mixed in...

IGNORE THEM, they only have power if you give it to them...These people have thousands to millions of fans, but "some people said gross things" grow up and remember you can ignore the haters lol

haters gonna hate GIF

Once you put something into the public space you cannot control how that is interpreted or repurposed etc. The Internet in areas like this is a total shit show, to expect or even delve into wanting to control that is an exercise in futility. She doesn't deserve harassment but there is a point where you're just beating your head against a brick wall. Go after the platforms that allow this behaviour rather than each infraction case by case. I don't see her, or celebs in general, boycotting or calling for reforms in social media policies or moderation etc (at least those would be realistically somewhat effective). They're just screaming into the prevailing winds of asshats online.

I think a very large part of her response here is catering toward her activist circles. I’ve followed her on social media for several years and at some point social activism has become her primary focus and then some. To the point that I’m fairly certain she would prefer to do that for a living.

The easy thing to do would be to ignore the harassment that virtually all women get online but she’s challenging these behaviors head on to rally the activists around her and to give herself more clout in those circles. That the internet would obviously double down in terms of harassment simply strengthens her case toward the groups she is targeting here.

Unless I'm missing something you are kinda being an asshole. I don't really get what 'hot stove' she has been touching?
You know, I don't know the spotlights this lady was in, but I find something hypocritical about getting famous for, say, licking a PSP and then complaining about "sexist world".

Sex sells, if you use it to your advantage, it's your choice.
No longer selling it s also yours, but you cannot rewrite the history.

And if people think sex sells only to one half of the population, welp, erotic book industry a market of about 1 billion USD..

She is famous for these ads. People had to hunt back through her life for anything that would even excite a Victorian gentleman.

The experience of being a prime fixation of chan types vs being a typical model or actress of her status is not comparable. It’s understandable that she’s upset about not being able to use her social media platforms normally anymore, and totally fair for her to push back against harassment.

That's silly. There's nothing understandable about capitalizing on your sexuality and appearance to sell phones then suddenly trying to pretend that you are somehow principled and taking some kind of stand. There is literally nothing stopping her from using her platforms. The average instagram model gets some seriously heinous comments and many of them seem to handle that without making a big deal about it, same with the titty streamers on twitch. They know what theyre doing will attract that sort of person and they don't care because $$$.

Literally all she has to do is tune them out, but instead she's using these people to gain clout on the internet with a certain crowd that feeds off of this kind of moralistic grandstanding because now it's the in thing. ANY kind of celebrity will attractive adverse elements. Hell one of my favorite DOOM streamers recently got made fun of for his appearance by all kinds of trolls and the dude made fun of them and went on with his life.

That shit goes hand in hand with notoriety among millions of people. If she doesn't like it she can remove herself from the public eye, or curate her media platforms better with the tools provided to her. "Harassment" Do these people work at her job? Are they calling her home? Showing up at her house? As far as I know the answer is no, just turn the computer off and it all fades away.

It's hard to sympathize for someone who has made millions of dollars off of being attractive alone, when they sudden have a problem with people sexualizing them. Even in her video in the OP where she's complaining you can literally look down her shirt to see her cleavage.
I get the aspect of not wanting overly detailed unwanted sex chat. A lot of guys are very cringe about that, like Men_in_Boxes Men_in_Boxes think of how irritating it would be if after every post you made you were quoted by hundreds of cringe inducing thirsty gay men talking about their dicks, how they're stroking their cocks while reading your posts, showing you photos of their dicks, talking about how much of a load they shoot when thinking about you.

It'd get old fast and I'm sure you'd be asking them to fuck off too.

You don't have to engage them at all. Hundreds of millions of people get spammed offensive messages in their comments every day and they pay them absolutely no mind and go about their lives without making some kind of spectacle out of it. I don't understand people who give power to the noise on the internet, as if it has any that they don't give to it.
 
honestly, folks ogling over beautiful women is nothing new and it's totally fine. the only issues is due to technology right now a lot of the people who's doing the ogling that also happened to be not as respectful can now get their message to say beautiful woman directly and that's what's causing them to get up in arms about these.
