My point is exactly that people shouldn't *have* to do it. I shouldn't have to deal with the fact that guys who make rape threats still get to keep their comments up after they've been reported to admins. I shouldn't have to deal having to jump through hoops over and over again with the admins to get the 4th, 5th, or whateverth alt banned for a user who is stalking me month after month.
That the admins should be making this place safer for mods in general and for mods in targeted groups especially. They should not be doing things that make harassment and threats easier.
Every time the do something like this users and mods point out problems with it and it's a combination of folks like you saying "oh, well, it's entirely on the victims to deal with it" and admins ignoring the feedback. I'm sick and fucking tired of it.

They *shouldn't* have to do it, but they do. No amount of hoping that the admins do something to fix it will stop the fact that she is still getting harassed and is fearful of those people. We don't live in a utopia and the quickest, easiest, and most effective way to stop getting harassed on reddit is to leave reddit, or even just make a new account.
You are sick and fucking tired of something that doesn't even happen. No-one here has suggested that it's entirely on the victim to deal with it, merely suggesting that the victim *could* easily deal with it themselves.
What you are suggesting is equivalent to someone being hungry and instead of making some food themselves, they have a hunger strike until the government sends someone to their house to cook for them.
A vulnerable woman shouldn't be left in a place where she's put at greater risk by people making and supporting tools that enable harassment.
She isn't left in that place. She has every chance to leave the place. She just isn't taking it because people that *did* take it, such as yourself, want *her* to suffer instead of yourself in an effort to stop it.
