I was more thinking alone the lines of, are people seriously hunting OP down because they are straight and cis? Are they bringing this up in arguments? Because otherwise why/how would they know?

I wasn't talking about actively making it a secret, but I'm the type of person to not volunteer information unless asked and I consider my personal life to largely not be fandom's business.

Especially for OP who seems to be annoyed by these sort of discussions? Maybe they are better off leaving their personal life private? You don't HAVE to reveal personal information about yourself in fandom, especially if fandom is your escape.

I think people forget in the social networking age that it's not always a good thing to reveal things about yourself to the public, you never know who's looking at it online.

I was going to basically say what cloud did, but you do make a good point here. We don't know OP's story, but a lot of people offer a lot of useless information these days.

Sometimes that goes beyond this sort of thing too. Sometimes it's an actual safety concern. Stalkers and whatnot. We could all do being a bit more guarded.

Yeah I didn't really word my opinion well so I get what Cloud was saying, but I was more coming from a place of wondering why people would even know anything about OP's sexuality in the first place, how/why it was coming up and where the harassment was coming from. We really don't know enough about OP to judge either side, we've all seen extreme SJWs harass others, but we've also all seen the LGBT community make valid points which others may take too personally?

But I also think things like tumblr and facebook are things that you should be very careful about how much information you let other people know. Tumblr if anything proves that people are vindictive and will use anything, literally anything against you.

I've found that people usually assume you are privileged, white, cis, straight, and neurotypical unless you're at a site catering specifically to something else. So you can easily get ranted at for being that if you are- and ranted at even if you aren't.

100% this. In a conversation once on LiveJournal having to do with homosexuality, I remember being told repeatedly to get the fuck out of the conversation and to sit down and shut up simply because I did not start off my comment with a proclamation of my sexuality. I found it incredibly offensive that some straight white college girls were telling me to shut the fuck up about issues that had to do with me and not them simply because I did not volunteer personal information about myself. I don't think you should have to be a card-carrying member of the LGBT club in order to NOT be insulted in a conversation.

Holy shit you're still BAWWWING about this with your stupid fucking icon?
