Rant incoming.
I'm over it with her family. So now we're supposed to believe that Sarah is MIA today because of all the threats she and her family are getting? With her sister even alluding to self harm. Please. I'm so fed up with these snowflake influencers labelling the slightest piece of criticism as hate. If Sarah is actually recieving threats of harm towards her and her family then that is disgusting and those accounts need to be reported.
But is she? I've never seen actual hate posted towards her. Never seen threats or abusive comments thrown her way. Sure, she may just be quick in deleting them, but I haven't even seen such talk on places she can't moderate such as gossip forums, Reddit, Twitter etc. Never. Not once. (*Just because I haven't seen it doesn't mean it hasn't happened)
This is the one case I will say it's ok to share these messages. Other influencers do it. Show us these threats. Show us the hate. Not only to prove it exists but to serve as a message to young impressionable followers that this kind of behaviour is not ok and that there are consequences.
I doubt they exist, though. Especially in the context of actual hate. In case you're reading Sarah, hate speech is classified as "attacks or uses pejorative or discriminatory language with reference to a person or a group on the basis of who they are, in other words, based on their religion, ethnicity, nationality, race, colour, descent, gender, or other identity factor".
No one is doing this. If people are coming for you it's because of your actions, not who you are. Please learn the difference.
Sorry for the wall of text. It really grinds my gears that people throw around buzz words like hate speech when they're actually talking about criticism. I will conceed that what we discuss here can be classed as bullying as most things are of a negative or mean nature towards her. However, no one is forcing Sarah, her family or her friends to read here. That's on them. One could also argue that if Sarah hadn't censored people's voices on her platforms, they wouldn't have found places like this in the first place.
