(his wife was also involved in the leaks)
This is something I find extremely disgusting, and galvanizes my viewpoint about the kind of people who are behind these operations. You see, I personally believe in a sort of thing of "Tit for Tat." If I punch you, you can punch me. That sort of thing. It's called mutual decency code between disagreeing parties. Its one of the basic understandings of human civilization
When you threaten, blackmail, or attempt to attack others via proxy, (just because they are in the general vicinity of your opponent) that is extremely heelish, thuggish, and cowardly. It is a tactic used by soft squishy people lacking in moral backbone, and the moment it is used you automatically know who is in the wrong.
And while the tactic works sometimes, especially with soft people; it is also an extremely dangerous card to pull, because that specific thing is how extreme revenge grudges are created with some people.
This may sound edgy or posturing; but if someone decided to strike me via proxy through my loved ones, especially my wife, I would dedicate a large portion of my time, energy and focus in absolutely dismantling them, their lifestyle, their aspirations both current and future. If they brought physical suffering, there is a very good chance that I would be facing jail time for the actions I would commit.
While it makes sense that the character of the individuals involved would use such a tactic (Pedophiles/transexuals/young adult male "incels" aren't known for having close relationships towards anyone outside of their hedonisms) it is still absolutely disgusting.
Personally, if I was Doll, this would infuriate me, and I would dedicate my new found down time in making the lives of those who would threaten my loved ones absolutely miserable.
Tl;dr You don't fuck with a man's wife. That is absolutely a quick way to escalate retribution and makes you look like an absolute asshole.
