"Doxing" in 2025

  • 🔧 Actively working on site again.
phonebooking or unmasking I'm a big fan of co-opting certain terms from establishment globo-homo types, it worked for troon afterall
 
I can refrain from using the dang dirty "dox" word, or I can refrain from giving you dieting advice, I'm not sure I can do both,

  • Journalism
  • Investigative journalism
If the intent is to refrain from giving gay retarded satanic pedophiles in legislature a buzzword to criminalize, then just call it what it is.
 
Does anyone legitimately think a new term won't simply result in it also being tied to the journalist's intent? This feels like generating buzzwords for the sake of generating them.

Calling Gamergaters gibby goobers did fuck all to detach them from negative connotations.
 
info dump makes the most sense since thats what it is.
and it just sounds correct, normal and not gay.
i.e. heres an infodump on chris chan
 
I like the term phonebooking and phonebook, because it underscores the banality and legality of it. If it is in the phonebook, how can it be controversial?
The implication. Why do you open a phonebook? Because you want to contact someone. It's the sole purpose of a phonebook.
We want to avoid this implication, I believe.
 
Phonebooking is great for a couple of reasons.
1. It pays respect to where most doxxing originally came from
2. It points the asshole who got phonebooked to a source of the legit problem (ie data brokers).
3. Unmasking is a tranny term and is really fucking gay and lame. It also is inherently hostile, much like trannies. Using that term, in the long term, will be flipped around as a personal attack as opposed to the ubiquitous nature of the the phone book.
I agree, but phone booking is too long. It's need to be shortened, maybe phooking. I think it will catch on. Here is how it's used in a sentence.

"I was posting online and I got phooked when I posted personal information."

"Don't go to Kiwifarms, they're notorious for phooking people."

I know Null's heart is in the right place, and I do understand the need for a new term as a pragmatic choice. Not going to fight against change, especially one that's made out of survival and not being linked to criminal behavior.

That being said, even if everyone agreed to use more politically correct terms like "documenting," all people that hate this site will keep saying "le evil doxxing site" to defame this place. That won't change.
 
It's all well and good but we as a people have already done this song and dance. Words get redefined to be worse than they are, we have to move to other words. Those words get redefined and we have to change language again. It's a war that someone needs to fight rather than concede.
The time to fight that war would have been when laws were being proposed on various state legislatures that used "doxing" or "doxxing". But it's now become a legal term, similar to the evolution of trespassing.

Fingerprint? Can be shortened to finger, as in to point out or identify.
"Yeah here's some info I fingered out of this cow here".

As for my input, relying on a "new descriptive word" for something for us seems pointless as people that already have a cantankerous attitude towards this site will say our new word is "dogwhistling, if they call you this, you are being DOXXED and HARASSED".

Just be simple and objective over what you are really doing about it.
I.e.:
"Here is where this person lives"
"Here is where this person works"
"Here is also info about this person's family"

Stating clear and concise info without the dreaded connotation of DAWKSING (what normies and troons count as "harassment") will get us a lot farther than making up some gay new term that would eventually be used against us.
