So, I shared about some bad experiences I had at web3 events in my country and tbh I sorta regret ever making this post. https://x.com/rakshitaphilip/status/1706672277021135166?s=46

Reasons : 1. A lot of people are like, why didn’t you report it then or call out those involved. I preferred to remain silent because I am a low key person and the people involved a bit too popular. A lot of times these things turn ugly fast and I didn’t want it to escalate any further.

2. A lot of people are just texting me and showing support and love but idk I feel very uncomfortable. I didn’t want this tweet to go this viral. I don’t want to attract so much attention to this, instead I want people to engage with my art content.

3. A lot of comments and replies were from men gaslighting me saying these events shouldn’t have alcohol and should have dress codes. I mean idk if that’ll really make a difference, besides I already feel sorta dirty from all the rumours that surfaced then. These comments just disturb me further.

I’m not really looking for a pity party here, I was just sharing this because I wanted young girls who enter the space to be aware of these things and be careful. Anyway, I’d love to get some advice from women on farcastHer on how we can make these events safer for women and expect higher turnouts.

I’m so sorry. This shit just hurts my soul. It’s tragic how common this is, and would be just as tragic if it only happened to you. Speaking up takes courage. And you suffer the pain but I believe it’s people like you who make the future better for our daughters and nieces (figuratively speaking) 🩷🩷🩷

I’m so sorry to hear this. And know that you’re not alone. As to how to change it — this helps. Sharing experiences and calling out bad behavior. And look for the communities & events that won’t tolerate this. Not easy but I’m hopeful we’ll get there.
