Meanings
plural harassers
- One who harasses.
Ordinary people have already been face-swapped into videos for humorous or prank purposes and there is no reason to believe that abusers, harassers, stalkers, and blackmailers will not soon be face-swapping victims into compromising video as part of their arsenal.
2018 April, Larry Zimmerman, “Cheap and Easily Manipulated Video”, in The Journal of the Kansas Bar Association, Topeka, Kan.: Kansas Bar Association, →ISSN, page 211 more example
All the eyes focus on the harasser. However, the person affected, the harassee, is often left behind. The harassee is most often a second thought. Employers may say “don’t forget about the harassee”, or “we must check on the how the harassee is doing”, but that is insufficient.
