And then people got mad about that and got the woman fired. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/03/how-dongle-jokes-got-two-people-fired-and-led-to-ddos-attacks/

Condiv posted:basically, companies are not beholden to racial justice or any kind of equity, and rather fire employees if it looks like they might hurt their pocketbook. doxxing and reporting racists to get them fired seems like a good idea until you realize the right is way better at cooking up outrage than the center, and will likely turn this tactic against us. they've been turning that tactic against the left for the last *checks watch* 150 years or so, it's about loving time the left caught on to it and started using it themselves
