The one and only T.Puff has ended her month of silence to complain about the internet trolls.

> On April 25, the UMass College Republicans hosted an event in Stockbridge Hall featuring several prominent pop-conservatives. Some, including Hampshire College junior Cora Segal, shouted down the speakers with cries of “Fuck you!” and slogans like “Keep your hate speech off this campus!”. Spurred on by Yiannopoulos and The Triggering’s third panelist, comedian Steven Crowder, a hashtag aimed at insulting Segal’s appearance set twits to Twittering.
> This is where a months-long battle with bloggers and internet trolls began to unfold for Cora Segal, protest organizer Jennie Chenkin — two women at that event who have shouldered the angry and sometimes violent wrath of the web.
> “As a fat woman, people are going to be horrible to me no matter what I do,” she says. “I might as well stand up for what I believe in and make myself heard, but I am still not immune to incredibly valid human emotions of feeling terror and feeling horrible when I have people sending me death threats or telling me that they want to rape me or that I should be grateful that they want to rape me.”
> “I’ve talked to a nonprofit that works specifically around internet harassment,” Segal says. “There are very legal specific definitions of a death threat. The words literally have to say ‘I am going to kill you.’ They’re very much death threats, but the messages I’ve been getting have been saying ‘I want you to die’ or “you need to kill yourself,’ ‘I hope you die,’ ‘go kill yourself,’ that kind of thing. That’s still very much a death threat and it doesn’t change the severity of it."
> Kassy Dillon, who shot the video, says she condemns the attacks on Segal’s appearance. “People are using Cora as a symbol,” she adds. “She’s not Cora. She’s the nickname they gave her. She’s a symbol now. They’re not going after her.”
