      I really like Justin Ling, and I understand his motivation to not feed conspiracy theories without confirmation but...his early skepticism helped feed a conspiracy theory. And he doesn't see it here and I am actually really angry about this.https://twitter.com/Justin_Ling/status/989638573925306368 …

      Why when the target is women, is that suspicious? If the mission statement on FB was racist or religious, would the same level of concern have been raised by MANY (not just Justin) in the media?

      SO MANY WOMEN have said, yeah, no, this tracks completely with all of our experiences. And the pushback from media is ridiculous. Like, we get it, you don't want to deal with the misogyny because it's just so much, so constant, layered into every bit of our society.

      Anyway, fuck this noise. Even though he's a great journalist who probably doesn't deserve to be the target of my anger right now, his tweet is what I saw first when I came on to Twitter right now and I am SO FUCKING DONE.

      My skepticism comes not from the fact that it women were the target, but because it was so tied to 4chan. That site consistently and deliberately takes advantage of situations like this to sow confusion.

      And while I appreciate that there is drawbacks from caution, I'd posit that there would be even more dire consequences if we got it wrong. What if 4chan *had* punked us? Imagine the vindication that sexist community would feel? (Plus they'd be armed with free publicity.)

      Journalism is built in with rules and procedures that are frustrating and sometimes poorly conveyed to the public. But they're good rules.

      And, also, I get your anger and empathize but I wouldn't do anything different. (Noting also that I had a 1200 feature up on the violent misogyny of the incel community in Canada's national paper ~24hrs after he was ID'd.)

          Your prerogative. Just like mine is to express how angry and disappointed I am.

          Yup! I'm just giving you my side of the thing. Totally cool for you to disagree.
