SJW’S ARE ALL ABOUT THE PROJECTION: When The “Harassed” Become The Harassers:
A group allegedly dedicated to stopping online harassment and abuse used the same tactics it claimed to abhor to harass those it disagreed with politically.
Crash Override Network, founded by Zoe Quinn after she became well known for being publicly shamed online by an ex-boyfriend, targeted people with whom it disagreed with – most notably, people who supported the Gamergate movement. . . .
Quinn used her new celebrity status to found Crash Override Network, which was supposed to stop online bullying. But internal chat logs from members who would eventually create the group, leaked by a member of the group, reveal that it used tactics such as doxxing (by which a person’s private contact information is published online in order to intimidate them) to harass people in the Gamergate movement or those who members of CON had a personal grudge against.
For example, the group discussed trying to contact the superior officer of a Purple Heart recipient who had expressed support of Gamergate to try to silence him. The group also discussed contacting Google in an attempt to get Justine Tunney fired after she also voiced support for Gamergate.
While responding to the logs, one of the people involved, Randi Harper, explained away the behavior as some kind of Stockholm Syndrome, writing on Twitter: “fact: when people are under abuse for an extended period of time, that trauma can modify their behavior and make them imitate their abusers.”
That doesn’t make it okay, especially if one is denouncing abuse while engaging in the same tactics.
Becoming abusers wasn’t an unintended result; it was the whole point.
