‘Creepy PMs’: 30 Screenshots Of The Weirdest Private Messages People Have Ever Received, Shared On This Online Group
A recent report from Pew Research Center has shown that roughly 4 in 10 of US adults have personally experienced online harassment. 75% of people, stated that the majority of abuse happens on social media, and 24% of the abused indicated that texting or messaging apps were where their most recent experience occurred.
Recently, Instagram has launched a new feature to filter abusive messages in DMs. Twitter has also revealed a new prompt that asks users to think twice before posting an abusive message. However, the problem of online harassment seems to have permeated all layers of our online presence, and these tools may reach just the tip of the problematic iceberg.
So in order to see what really happens in these dark pages of private messages where people are constantly made to feel really uncomfortable, the subreddit r/CreepyPMs has shed some light on things that end up in our inboxes.
“A place for people to share the strange and disturbing PMs they get from all over the internet,” says the group’s description and it’s honestly the part of the internet we all would be better off without.

The internet has given us incredible freedom to communicate with people across the globe, share our thoughts, and get to know things all without leaving the house. But it came with the price of putting too much freedom in people's hands in a virtual space where identities, actions, and accountabilities for them are often blurred.
The rise of cyberbullying and online harassment via private messages, comments, online groups, and forums has reached its peak. From impersonation accounts to hateful slurs, death threats, unsolicited messages of a sexual nature, and so on, the problem is pervasive and ever-growing.

And to fight it, it’s important to identify and be aware that you or someone close to you has become a target of online harassment. It’s when an abuser uses technology to harass, threaten, embarrass, or target another person. It happens on devices like smartphones, computers, tablets, and gaming systems.
Sometimes cyberbullying can be easy to spot—for example, if your child shows you a text, comment, or post that is harsh, mean, or cruel. Other acts are less obvious, like posting someone's personal information, or using photos or videos that hurt or embarrass another person.

Harvard Business Review has reported that people of color and LGBTQ+ people are disproportionately targeted, and women are twice as likely as men to experience sexual harassment online.
PEN America, which stands at the intersection of literature and human rights to protect open expression in the United States and worldwide, has created a useful Online Harassment Field Manual that will give you more information on navigating online abuse. Most importantly, remember that you’re not powerless and that there are concrete steps to be taken.

Meh, this is nothing. I suffer from an even rarer disease - I need people to randomly give me money for no reason, or else my skin turns green and I die :(
Ian Koch 5 years ago
so if I said that was funny, would we have a similar conversation ending with you saying "just give me money"?

Anudeispedia, also known as the Indian Flu, is, according to the consensus of leading Cybernetic Indian doctors, a deadly disease rampant in Cybernetic India. It's estimated to kill 130 thousand Cybernetic Indians every year. It mainly affects Indians between the age of 14 and 23. -found on google. Little trick backfired

My goodness, too bad there is nowhere else on the internet that he can find pictures of nude women to treat his affliction. Although I’m not sure if he is aware that she might prefer him dying a horrific death than to keep messaging her.

Someone on here I guarantee will say why do they have man hating stuff again instead of actually faulting the males that do this crap.

Whenever I deal with an insecure douche like these ones, I always resort to 1) the fragile masculinity or 2) the underlying homophobia most men have. Something referencing them having a small dïck or implying they're interested in other guys instead of the female they're harassing or insulting. Works like a charm.

Why do guys send unsolicited d**k pics....like dude wtf. That's so messed up, it's ridiculous.

Probably because they can't get anyone to look at it otherwise

It's even scarier in real life. I had a college friend who I was interested in. We flirted a bit but I was a freshman and didn't want to get into anything serious, just books and conversation. We actually hung out on campus several times. And boom, he sent me an unsolicited d**k pic. I was so shocked that I cried. To make it worse, his face was in the pic with the creepiest grin. Avoided him after that entirely.

That's horrible. I'm sorry you went through that. I too have gotten my share of unsolicited d**k pics... back when i was young and the internet was newish i got one in a chat room for just saying i was female. It's messed up.

Some of these I wonder whether English is their first language, or if it's been written by an 8 year old. I mean, I know the spelling and grammar is not really the point, but it just illustrates how immature and pathetic these individuals are.

So I guess it works like this.... rando guy views female from afar, obtains digits in an underhanded way OR becomes unhealthily obsessed with her photo on social media, then up and sends her an unsolicited pic of his deformed, unsanitary penis. When this spooks/disgusts/repels/shocks or inadvertently amuses her, he flies into a rage and becomes menacing. If this keeps up, the birthrate will plummet to zero and all pregnancies will be from AI until they can synthesize semen and then they will dispense with males altogether or just keep a few in captivity to open pickle jars. Guys, you need to shame these jerks or you risk your gender's survival. Women shaming them doesn't seem to have much of an impact.

You wish a women would ask you anything. So sad when your masculinity is so threatened so you have to prove some kind of point in another attempt at a "gotcha" moment that falls flat and gives away exactly who you are
