instead of using "stalking" (a very serious form of sexual violence) colloquially to discuss thoroughly searching or watching someone's profile try

-lurking
-creeping
-hunting
-literally anything else

@gingerrroot creeping and hunting seems to be scary too IMHO.

@severak i'm not arguing against scary language, as it may cause people to think more about the actions they're taking (esp if they really are stalking someone)

i'm arguing against using a specific form of sexual violence when that's not exactly what you mean
