Discredited and attacked for posting about harassment from UWS resident and influencer

Almost a week ago I posted here to share an experience getting threatened and stalked on Riverside by a big guy in a brown suit:

Guy in the suit was identified by some as the famous YouTuber and UWS resident Erik “van” Conover. For this post I was called a liar, a shit poster and even an agent of elon musk because my handle had “doge” in it and Erik had recently criticised musk in one of his IG stories (lol). As the dog pile grew my post was aggressively down voted and locked

Just FYI to everyone who caught that, the guy in the brown suit is currently under arrest in NH for running over a cop after a week of similar chaos and violence:

Needless to say that I’m grateful my encounter ended without further violence or escalation. It was still a troubling experience, and being discredited in this sub also sucked

Maybe think twice before you discredit an accuser posting about one of our beloved influencers?
