Go, girl, go.

CHVRCHES frontwoman Lauren Mayberry did something with an Instagram troll most wouldn't even bother to do: Spotlight them and call them out for being the disgusting assholes they are. 

Mayberry posted a screenshot of the offending comment to her Instagram (while very politely, we might add, blacking out his/her username—a gesture most probably wouldn't have allowed themselves):

Along with a thoughtful message, speaking out against these kinds of crude threats many—both famous and not so famous—deal with online every day: 

"My band is lucky enough to have some of the most awesome, supportive and respectful fans in the world and we are so excited to be in the studio making an album to share with them. Yet, on a daily basis, we still receive communications like this. These people never learn that violence against women is unacceptable. But they also never learn that women will not be shamed and silenced and made to disappear. I am not going anywhere. So bring it on, motherfuckers. Let's see who blinks first."
