Imagine walking home from school when a stranger comes up to you and asks to take a picture with you. It’s odd to say the least. You’re well educated in the rules of Stranger Danger and politely decline before continuing on with your day. That same night your TikTok, Instagram, and other social media accounts are flooded with weird, violent, and perverted comments from the same person, also the same person who stopped you after school. Utterly freaked out, you block them and think that’s the end of it.

 That is until this person starts showing up everywhere. You had to make a new route home from school, the person showed up at your job, they made new social media accounts to follow you, and started following your family as well.
