How to fix it
Critique the content or action, not the person's body. Remove calls to target someone and any personal details.
Good to know
Check Duets and Stitches especially: reactions that sexualize or mock the other creator's body. Watch for 'go comment on her page', 'report this account', posting someone's address or workplace with hostile intent. Public figures may be criticized more freely but not doxed or sexually harassed. Does NOT count: criticizing someone's content or actions, criticizing bullying, fiction not aimed at a real person.
