Questioning what they may have expected as a result of trolling the other side over twitter and supposedly other avenues is, though.
Was she trolling? I honestly don't know which is why I'm asking. It's my understanding she, like the original gamergate woman, was critical of the misogyny & got dox'd & threatened because of it.
While I understand kicking the hornets nest that is the internet isn't the best idea, being critical of the crazier aspects of the #gamergate movement shouldn't result in the ruining of one's life, should it? Yet repeatedly, when people speak out against those aspects & happen to have a v
Agina, people go out of there way to do just that.
It isn't right & it takes the focus away from the other more legitimate issues the gamergate movement may have. "Blaming" the victim before denouncing those actions implies one feels that the actions of the woman, being critical of gamergate, justifies the life ruining- even if that isn't your true thoughts on the subject.

I have a hard time taking the idea of doxing as threatening when most people put that crap up on their facepages. It's like saying they're fearing for their lives because people can read.
Its my understanding most "doxing" is done by paying for background checks on individuals, as most people don't put their home addresses on their facebook pages. "Hacks" are done by using publicly available info, as well as background checks, to answer password questions, change passwords, & then get access to accounts.
