In response to "what is doxxed? -- nm" by old fogey crash davis

her personal information (including exact living address) was posted somewhere on the unsavory parts of the internet

This is bigger than the other game developers and game critics that this happened to...she's much more well known and very likely has already had to deal with stalkers. The GamerGate assholes just declared open season on her.

it was really bad before. now it just went nuclear. -- nm - Remlik Oct 22, 18:12 1
- I'm on Team Felicia wherever that may lead -- nm - old fogey crash davis Oct 22, 18:13
And because she's a woman criticizing men who are behaving badly. -- nm - tobooooooooor.2 Oct 22, 18:05
I haven't taken the time to understand GamerGate. I just know there are some real dicks involved -- nm - old fogey crash davis Oct 22, 18:04 19

  - I think there's badness on both sides; but when one goes tremendously, horribly overboard, trying to imply some kind of parity doesn't sit well. -- nm - b! Oct 22, 18:35 12
    - GamerGate supporters have been doxxed, received death threats, etc. too, but they're not "celebrities" so... - Scots-IrishStephen Oct 22, 18:40 11
      - that stuff is never ok, no one should ever think it is. -- nm - b! Oct 22, 18:44 10
        
        Honestly? By and large they're cowards using the cover of anonymity to terrorize and intimidate. Fuck em if they can't take a joke. -- nm - Reagen Oct 22, 19:01 1
        
        ?? nothing I addressed there was related to the bullying thing (which I only just read about in the past 5 minutes, and which I now understand to - b! Oct 22, 19:04
        
        I agree. :) - Scots-IrishStephen Oct 22, 18:48 7
        
        congratulations on missing the point, if you think the doxxing (and all the other specific acts of harrassment) is actually the main issue here. - znufrii Oct 22, 19:05
        
        Yes, and most of the harrassment is being perpetrated by professional trolls who couldn't care less about gaming. - Dignan Oct 22, 19:05 4
        
        I'd agree to some extent that we're in a lulz loop - Reagen Oct 22, 19:10 3
        
        The journalism angle is indeed pretty weak. - Dignan Oct 22, 19:19 2
        
        I agree with a lot of what you say, my only thing with respect to the "ethics" issue is that because of her friendships within the gaming press, a lot - Scots-IrishStephen Oct 22, 19:35 1
        
        Oh, sure. And this is just a small window we've been given. - Dignan Oct 22, 19:41
        
        Going forward, I think there's a clear need for pocket communities like ours. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 22, 18:49
- Wikipedia has a decent overview -- (link) - tobooooooooor.2 Oct 22, 18:13
- Tim is l33t -- nm - Bloody Ice Oct 22, 18:05
- The claim is that something about "ethics in game journalism" but the real point is they believe women need to stop having opinions. -- nm - Tim Oct 22, 18:05 2
  - I can't believe people are still misogynistic in this day and age -- nm - old fogey crash davis Oct 22, 18:09 1
    - I can. -- nm - tobooooooooor.2 Oct 22, 18:11
