Hello! Here, I've listed some tips that might be useful if you or a friend are experiencing bullying from an anti: 1. Report them! °• I know, scratch has less than favourable moderation, but trust me on this! There's still a chance they could get into trouble, so it's worth a go. 2. It's ok to get support. • Visiting things like therian helplines is good, and quite encouraged. It's what they're here for, and they're great listeners. 3. Be sort of formal? ° If the anti is not very troublesome, being formal may discourage them and sometimes make them back down. Why? Because you're making them start to believe they're losing, since you're keeping your cool. 4. Don't feed them attention/panic °• It's giving them the reaction they're looking for, but others defending you should be ok as the anti will start being outnumbered and slightly intimidated. 5. Delete nasty profile messages. • If an anti is doing that kind of thing, you can delete it. Don't worry if it's giving in: you're removing negativity. It's ok. 6. Ignore 'em ° Pretty self explanatory, but for serious situations antis should be fought against before it gets worse. Serious Antis who do not receive some kind of attention will create worse and worse efforts in attempt to get this attention. But the biggest tip of all: YOU ARE NOT IN THE WRONG!
Tips with ° are for non-serious situations, but tips labelled with • are for serious situations. (e.g leaving hurtful messages on your profile) tips with both are for all situations. (If you'd like, you can relax to the music ^v^)
