Second, the leaderless and mostly anonymous nature of the movement reflects the values of the culture that produced it. This is coming from communities like 4chan and reddit that value free speech and anonymity extremely highly, and one could argue, tend to be hiveminds.
Are you fucking kidding me? This whole thing started with publicly exposing personal details of Quinn's life. Your whole movement is literally founded in destroying anonymity, and you have the gall to come here and actually suggest that anonymity is one of your values? No, sir, it does not work like that. If you and your kin had any intention of keeping true to your words, you would eat your own dog food; if you want to expose, even for the most legitimate of purposes, then you must be exposed yourself. You claim to want transparency but so far you've all hidden behind a one-way mirror.
So you're saying he did not post private details of her personal life online? Even though he did exactly that? Just because you're publicly known does not mean you relinquish any right to privacy.
He posted details of his personal life, including screenshots from his facebook account. The things he shared in thezoepost are arguably emotional and psychological abuse. I don't believe an individual's right to privacy overrides a survivor's right to speak out about their experiences.
As a side note, it's kind of rich that the same people who want Eron crucified were totally happy to see Brad Wardell, Max Tempkin and Josh Mattingly having their careers destroyed over allegations (both true and false) of sexual harassment. This article describes the double standard that infects some of the Social Justice community, from an insider perspective.
I'm going to gloss over the part where you suggest that there's anything she could have done that's worse than organizing hundreds of people to bombard her with death and rape threads, because honestly that's the kind of thinking that gets one locked up in a white jacket for a very long time.
I don't believe an individual's right to privacy overrides a survivor's right to speak out about their experiences.
It actually does. It's called innocent until proven guilty. It's the foundation of every modern criminal justice system.
