Mia Matsumiya is a talented violinist based in Los Angeles, perhaps most well known for her time with a band called Kayo Dot.

It’s a rather strange group, which makes perfect sense for Mia. She's into some pretty strange stuff. Cryptozoology - the study of “hidden” animals like Bigfoot - is a huge passion. So is adding to her collection of human teeth. Her father is a scientist, and she has inherited his passion for the obscure - specifically transhumanism and nanotechnology. At 4’9”, she also prides herself at squeezing into small spaces. “I can literally fit inside a queen-size pillow case, which is my proudest squishing moment,” she informs me.

Another of her interests has been archiving the hundreds of disgusting messages sent to her by men on the internet over the last decade:

“What will feel if I enter inside you? Are you a virgin?”

“You are so cute and tiny. I just want to shrink you down and keep you in my pocket”.

“I wouldn’t gently caress you. I would gently caress the poo poo outcha. Morning, noon and night. Till ya black and blue”.

“I wish you were here. I wish you were mine”.

I was going to make a list of five examples, but four seemed enough. They’ve arrived in a horrid ongoing torrent since 2000, blocking up her MySpace; her Twitter; her Facebook.

Okay, okay, here’s what we all need: A white male writing an article about the systematic online harassment of a female… by lots of mostly-white males.

But stay with me: Mia Matsumiya is my friend. I met her through my other friend Rae in LA about 8 years ago. I love cryptozoology too, so we bonded over our love of the Mongolian Death Worm. Over the years she’s shown me some of the messages she received, sort of joking about it at the time. I mean, what else could you do, right?

Well, you publish them online. You show the world what’s going on. And people are starting to take notice. Perv_magnet’s already surpassed 10,000 followers, and been written about by the HuffPost, The Daily Mail and as of today, Buzzfeed.

Good thing she stopped at four and spared us the fifth.

She adeptly managed to post more than 3, thereby ensuring she avoided a common technique of comedy in case we accidentally found humor or enjoyed her writing in any way.

I don't know what everybody else is laughing at, but I'm laughing at the mental image of a woman in a pillow full of teeth holding a laptop and archiving dirty messages from Myspace.

transhumanism is antifeminist (i.e. the same male-dominated hegemonic structures that make up humanism (our current demoncratic us, for example) are extended via reinscription into transhumanist 'bodies') so i'm not sure exactly how she can be transhumanist & mad @ dudes who want to bone.
