TinTower posted:I believe the term you're looking for is "cuntfusing". Indeed I am. The article, for those interested: quote:Games Journalism hasn't ever really been about the traditionally noble profession of journalism. It's never been about serving the public good, deposing tyrannical governments, or even providing information. It's traditionally been about enthusiasts talking about their passion. It's an enthusiast press, not a journalistic enterprise, and nothing proves that better than the recent "games journalism" meltdown around Minecraft creator, Notch's interaction with a hypocrite on Twitter that happened to share the delusional world view of the hypocrites at Destructoid, and apparently VICE.

I think this conversation goes beyond the scope of this thread but yes, he shouldn't have gotten doxxed imo.

If you break into someone's house to steal their stuff, and it turns out they're a kidnapper holding a victim there, the result may be that the victim gets rescued. But that doesn't make burglary good or justified.

One is using public information to do something that breaks social standards, the other causes actual property damage and monetary loss.

Hey, just want to point out that I never went digging for bad things people did. If I stumble across a reply on Twitter or something, I'm conscious of the fact that people have to work with a guy who sends women rape threats. If a guy knocks you over in his car and drives off, and you find out later he was a taxi driver, you might have something to say. Same sort of thing.

People just really want to argue if Doxxing is okay if the person you target is bad.

unwantedplatypus posted:Why in God's name did I delve into youtube comments. Why am I still arguing. What the gently caress is wrong with me? This person actually does a pretty good job of summing up the mental gymnastics many racists go through to justify their racism. "I don't hate black skin, you can only be racist if you hate black skin! I just hate most people who have black skin because I despise their culture! Not racist!"

so, I was arguing with a bernie4trump guy on facebook. that fizzled out, but I guess we'd exchanged too many not nice words for this one. one day I'll tell my grandchildren I lost my leg in a truth bomb attack during the woke wars of '16.

They only doxxed Aatrek because they were mad at being probated from Star Trek. They didn't know what they'd find. it's like how the Unit 731 war crimes advanced our understanding of human biology. Or how the creation of nuclear weapons led to a cool Call of Duty level. Even the greatest evils can sometimes do good.

Aphrodite posted:I think it's because men are generally under more pressure, and are also discouraged from showing any weakness. this is why FEWER men attempt suicide - men get trained to deal with emotions instead of vomiting them our indiscriminately - this is a GOOD thing. IMHO we need a lot more of this - a lot more stuff like executive function training. Men commit suicide more because they choose more effective methods. if we teach men to deal with emotion like women, men will try it more & since men do it better the pile of dead men's bodies will be a mile high as more of us attempt suicide and actually GET THE JOB DONE. Puntification posted:Presented with that fact they would only argue that it means women only attempt suicide for attention. [–]lovewomenhatebitches Also women who attempt suicide often fail because their attempt is just a cry for attention.

Aatrek was a jerk mod that banned people for no reason. Enough people got pissed off that they doxxed him and found out he was a convicted felon. But it also turns out that he actually already paid restitution and served his time in prison. I'm not convinced that he should have been banned from the forum. If anything it would have been funnier if people could poo poo on him while he does an AMA or something. He was definitely a lovely mod though.
