BuzzFeed News spoke to Mia Matsumiya, a violinist who wants to show “the crazy, awful, and unacceptable things women receive online”.
Mia Matsumiya has received many supportive messages from fans following her career as a violinist. But for the last 10 years, she's also been receiving something else: creepy, abusive, and harassing messages from strangers.
Matsumiya first noticed the harassment online when she began blogging when she was performing in rock bands in 2003-2010 while living in New York.
"I started getting the messages when I began blogging," she told BuzzFeed News. "My blog ended up with a small following and with it, a bunch of unwanted and frightening attention."
At one point, she said, she received a a death threat, forcing her to stop blogging. She said the police didn't help and told her to "just turn off" her computer.
