Hope everyone that sees this knows that they are not alone in this battle but if you ever need to talk reach out to your loved ones. It’s ok to ask for help RIP K1KAK1KA was a victim of cyber-bullying and targeted harassment, a problem which plagues online communities, especially in gaming-related ones.Even professional players aren't exempt from perpetrating the acts, such as when four Gears of War competitors were banned from competing after harassing a female streamer in the game.Female content creators and casual gamers naturally end up forming safe circles or groups as a sort of support system for one another, as many have faced the same types of violence both online and offline.
