Like... surely it has? Maybe to a man of color or a queer man or...? I can't think an incident though. Like a giant orchestrated push.

Even non-coordinated mob incidents that we think of as "Internet Ruins Person's Life"—like Justine Sacco—I can only think of women

Even my favorite early Angry Internet Mob example—Dog Poop Girl in South Korea—involves a woman.

I know violentacrez gets cited as a "doxxing" but it was just Gawker and I don't know of an online campaign that followed?

@sarahjeong did anyone post his address? I don’t think that counts as doxxing.

@graceishuman Not sure tbh

@sarahjeong doxxing I guess I assumed is more people posting your address, where you work, shit like that. violentacrez wasn’t doxxed AFAIK

@graceishuman I've used the term for outings of ppl actively trying to maintain anonymity, eg sex workers, but I think lots of ppl agree w u

@sarahjeong @adriarichards @daniellecitron talks extensively about cyber mobs and marginalized groups in her new book.

@schemaly @adriarichards @daniellecitron yep, I've read it. I have no doubt marginalized groups get more, but I'm shocked to find I can't +

@schemaly @adriarichards @daniellecitron + think of ONE man who has received abuse on this particular coordinated level

@sarahjeong What about Star Wars Kid?

@Annaleen was he doxxed?

@sarahjeong But it was weird because he was also a culture hero too.

@Annaleen Yeah, that is an interesting example. I need to think about that one.

@sarahjeong there's been some serious abuse, but typically with men who were activists or agitators, not dudes just doing their work.

@anildash Like a 4chan-style, large-scale orchestrated sustained campaign, though?

@sarahjeong no, they've only ever organized in support of dudes over the long term, afaik.

@anildash dang

@sarahjeong I mean, that's what I've always assumed. Even w/ me, the MRAs and the like only flare up every few months when there's a prompt.
