That would be great if it worked like that. I know it's stupid in my position, but I like my name, and I know I didn't really do anything wrong. I feel like it would absolutely just be like letting the offending party win, if I did this. But I need to grow up and accept my new reality.

Did your employer not listen to your side of the story at all?

My manager did and I could tell they believed, but the optics of it all I imagined made it too toxic to be worth defending me over. Racist, sexist content was falsely attributed to me.

In what sense were there “optics” beyond the company? Was this incident public, or just on some forum that would only show up when people Google your name?

Some other platform picked it up and started bagging on me. Not national news public, but still.
