[QUOTE]A Social Justice Warrior’s attempt to get a British professor fired for his YouTube channel isn’t going as planned. Jenny Keller aka [URL="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCugaJelwjuj2SNf9G5jxviQ/feed"]Laughing Witch[/URL] [URL="https://youtu.be/B85RR_Jnl78?t=4m36s"]was involved[/URL] in a campaign targeting [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Mason"]Dr. Phil Mason[/URL] aka [URL="http://t.co/OuW68NqfiX"]Thunderf00t[/URL] over comments he made on Anita Sarkeesian and #GamerGate. There were a few others involved in it as well, all going after Mason for not believing Sarkeesian. Mason [URL="https://youtu.be/B85RR_Jnl78?t=26m1s"]struck back[/URL] by pointing out Keller’s name (which she revealed), revealed the business she co-owned, and put up a link to Yelp. His YouTube subscribers then inundated Keller’s business Yelp page with negative reviews, and caused Keller and her husband, Paul Burns, to respond by [URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iYwSppabhM"]going[/URL] to the FBI. How did that work? [URL="http://www.wusa9.com/story/news/local/bowie/2015/10/29/prince-georges-co-business-battles-economic-cyber-terrorism/74846146/"]Not well[/URL], according to WUSA.[/QUOTE]
Doxxing is never good, regardless of who's side you're on.
For a long while I avoided Thunderf00t and other youtube profiles like him, but I got lazy and watched the video he made of this incident and holy shit people like Laughing Witch actually exist what the fuck. Going through his videos now is pretty interesting to watch, it's always crazy how worked up some people can get just because somebody that they've never met disagreed with them.

just be careful.
Thunderf00ts a big mixed bag.
Hes actually a very smart scientist in his field.
Hes pretty smart on some social things.
At times hes fucking ass backwards and super retarded.

When?
[QUOTE=1/4 Life;49067030]When?[/QUOTE]
Dont have my thunderf00t diary on call, but ive watched a lot of videos, I just remember at times hearing shit he said being completely fucking stupid, where as at a lot of times he has a decent head on his shoulders, regardless of how gracefully he comes off.
Basically, what im trying to say is hes a human being.

True, but nothing is happening to her that she didn't try to do to him. She decided because of his opinions he shouldn't get to keep his job and now it's happening to her. It's retarded that any of this is even happening, it would be nice if the internet had a language other than death threats and swatting.
[quote]"Those people seem to be totally dedicated to causing as much harm as they can because we engaged in a political action."[/quote]
Actively attempts to get someone fired by lying to their employer because they disagreed with them.
Does this to numerous people.
Then complains that there are people that seem totally dedicated to causing harm because of politics.
I fail to see a difference between these reviews and the ones made against Chick Fill A.
A stonethrower broke the windows of her glass house.
They want 25k for a fund to "defend themselves."
this is also the exact amount they need to pay off a company before going bankrupt
lmao in the video she says "so basically I've been shut up and shut down"
and what exactly were you trying to do thunderf00t?

Problem in this case is it's not just her getting what comes around, her colleagues are suffering because of it too. I'm not saying she didn't deserve it, but the other employees at the company [i]definitely[/i] didn't.

They were bankrupt months before this, despite them trying to pin it on him in a last ditch effort.

My Thunderf00t review is: Generally right, often annoying, takes 15 minutes to say something that should take 1 minute to say.

Again how is that different from what happened to Chick Fill A?
Let me go online and taunt an entire online community full of completely unpredictable people who are just as opinionated as me
I mean like, it's one thing to post about something. But going after someone like this because you disagree? then getting your shit rekt like that? kind of expected

Employees of a company suffering for the political views of the company or the company owner(s) is nothing new. It's unfortunate that this women didn't have the foresight to either distance her opinions from her husbands company, or filter them for the employee and companies' sake, but that's the reality.
I mean I doubt you'd call it a "problem" if employees of an openly racist CEO lost their jobs, more so just tough-luck. It's politics.
On one hand, doxxing people or trying to get them fired for online opinions is awful, unless if they pose some sort of immediate threat. Being a threat is different from an opinion, though.
On the other hand, someone experiencing "what goes around comes around" is always delicious. Especially when they start crying about it afterwards.
Plus, in this case, what she did was more than expressing an opinion, she was harassing someone with the intent to harm them economically.

If I recall correctly, he also has some sort of hate boner for Rebecca Watson. Maybe he stopped recently, though? I don't exactly watch his videos very often.

I missed the part where she was a co-owner, I thought she just worked there.

And then he makes 10 more 15 minute videos about that thing that should have taken one minute. But yeah he's usually right. He likes to be overly thorough, the curse of a scientist i guess.

He stopped that ages ago i think
[QUOTE=FlandersNed;49067000]Doxxing is never good, regardless of who's side you're on.[/QUOTE]
Doxxing is bad, but at the same time I can't help but think there's some "justice" involved when people get treated the same way they try and treat others.
Why are people saying he doxxed her. In a video she proudly exclamed that she was using here real name when she tried to get thunderf00t fired.
Thunderf00t has some of the shittest thumbnails I've ever seen, that's all I have to say.

How can you not have a hate boner for Rebecca "a guy hit on me on the elevator in a non threatening way so I'm going to make a big scandal out of it at a convention for atheists" Watson?

[QUOTE=FlandersNed;49067000]Doxxing is never good, regardless of who's side you're on.[/QUOTE]
Not doxxing if you're using your real name and parading the idea that you work for a business that is owned by your husband.

It's not on it's own, but when you provide such information to your audience in a suggestive manner it does.
Granted he never came right out and said go rate their business on yelp, but one could (and plenty did) construe it as a suggestion to do so.
I don't really approve about how he decided to go about this, what they did was a total kick to the proverbial nuts by going after his place of employment.

Thunderf00t doesn't doxx people and try to get them fired.
He soundly crushes their arguments with facts and a somewhat annoying smugness.

But is it wrong to do that? I mean, it's socially acceptable to go after those companies who say moronic things or do moronic things like sell a wedding cake to a gay couple.
I don't agree with the act either, but I mean the Huffington Post and The Mary Sue and those sorts of "progressive" media sites who gave the women who Thunderf00t criticizes on his channel have a field day when it happens to someone they don't like.

It's doxxing if it's a woman. Even if she uses her real name before.
I wish I was joking, but it's what I've noticed.

Well Right and Wrong is different than "right and wrong". It's basically trading low blow for low blow, and while to some degree you have to play that game you would hope to take the high road and abstain from such action.
