I'm still mystified as to what exactly doxxing entails and why it's apparently comparable to stabbing someone in the gut

Revealing someone's actual identity so they can't hide behind a wall of anonymity.

Always but it was much more difficult for them to meet up and encourage each other so they were forced to become productive members of society.

Even so, reposting someone's personal information is a no-no. It really serves no point other than to direct harassment to that person.

But opinions & cultural norms only change is you show people the thing you're complaining about and they go "drat that's hosed up." MLK complained about jim crow and black people being treated like poo poo. Feminists complained about women being locked out of many societal roles and being treated like poo poo. Gay advocates complain about their partnerships not being recognized by the state and being treated like poo poo.

When your audience by and large reacts with "drat that's some trivial bullshit," you can complain forever and nothing will happen. The SJW movement or whatever it might be called, the trigger warning advocates, the intersectionality people, the media representation police -- most of these complaints are things that are so removed from normal experience that people can't emphasize.





Particularly when you're complaining about those horrible gamers, at which point it becomes some trivial bullshit inside of the trivial bullshit that is video games.

The people in power at the time thought all those things were trivial bullshit.

I hear a lot like "if you oppose somebody who calls themselves a warrior for social justice or a crusader, consider what you're actually opposing". Well, it's that.

Two male co-developers, IIRC.

Also one of the criticisms she raised at TFYC's game jam was that the women giving the ideas could just take their idea and make the game themselves. This, coming from someone who needed two co-devs for a game in Twine.

Well those two women should clearly have set up patreons and just begged people to give them money instead of...well I guess they still did that, but with a bunch of other people as well to ensure that nobody would dismiss it as a scam or vaporware
