We already have a rule not to conspire/interfere with the people involved in the whole KickVic saga, so the whole schtick of "Kiwi Farms harrasses and intimidates victims!" is just ludicrous.
We just want to find out the truth of what really happened that has created the whole rift between the American anime industry. Most of the KF users here have followed this for the past 5 months and has documented each and every action that the people had publicly taken.
This all ties back into a single stupid concept: "words are violence".
These people think getting mocked on social media is a form of attack, assault, harassment, and oppression that is equal to literal punches in the face. If a bunch of randos comment on your tweet and disagree with it, you are "attacked by hate mobs" and they want the same sympathy and protections we give to victims of mob violence in the streets. If you question a person's story, you're re-traumatizing them. If your mentions are flooded with ridicule, they're trying to kill you (virtually, but isn't it the
same as real life, really?)
I don't like doxing; but I also don't like taking
anything on the Internet seriously. So if you're going to turn your Internet postings into
Serious Business, and you want everyone else to treat them
Seriously, then you're obliged to back up your claims with your person, just like in real life. Wielding the potential power to ruin a person's life is inextricably linked with exposing yourself to the same risk. The courts are designed this way for a reason; we learned hard lessons about the abuses of anonymity for 800 years before US laws were written as a response.
To give the potential witnesses the benefit of the doubt, I think it's
very likely that ArmzGurl, Soye, and Rial took a handful of women who were
not willing to make serious public accusations, and referenced their stories ("over 100 women!") without their permission for defamation. I have legit sympathy for those cases... but then they should also be the ones who
aren't willing to testify on the record and don't need protection. MoRonica and Casey have insisted,
in writing and on the record, that they have witnesses who are eager to come forward and be public. Very well; then be public, and enjoy the same public protections Vic himself has.
