The Dark Underbelly of Online Abuse: When Mental Health Advocates Become Targets The Adelaide Crows' decision to report the disturbing trolling of captain Jordan Dawson to SA Police and the AFL's integrity unit is a stark reminder that online abuse knows no bounds, not even for those who advocate for kindness and compassion.
Dawson's own efforts to raise awareness about mental health have been met with vile racist messages and personal attacks, highlighting the cruel irony that those who seek to uplift others can become easy targets themselves.
Crows' CEO Tim Silvers has noted that this behavior is becoming increasingly common, and it's clear that our collective tolerance for intolerance has reached a breaking point.
