I worked with multiple separate journalists for half a decade to get MINOR coverage of one of the most open-secret predators in medieval studies (extremely niche high profile) bc some of us weren’t victims of physical abuse or direct *enough* harassment and even that wasn’t enough on record

like it was so hard to break you had various journalists digging their teeth in, personally frustrated and refusing to give up, and it still was only eventually coverable as an episode in a podcast series bc we couldn’t materialize a direct enough victim in the most recent record

also do you have any idea what it’s like trying to get victims/survivors on record??? it involves endless furtive contacting of ppl you barely know to say, “uh, many consider this person a predator & their interactions w/ you appeared like they could’ve been in that zone. Would you go on record”
