Let me put this into context.

We will ban subreddits that allow their communities to use the subreddit as a platform to harass individuals when moderators don’t take action. We’re banning behavior, not ideas.

So, I'm not sure how many people know this, but Brianna Wu's initial claim of harassment and death threats from GamerGate, the ones that got her on national television, were because she said 8chan's GamerGate board doxed her and sent her threats.

Here's what happened. Brianna Wu was stirring the nest, by making a big deal about all these memes people made. She had made one using a meme generator, trying to make fun of GamerGate. So, people shitposted memes in the same manner. Some of them being pretty offensive, but mostly just being shitposts. She flips. makes a big deal about how she's being targeted and it won't stop, and it's a matter of discussion on the GamerGate board of 8chan. Suddenly, someone posts her personal information. No one asked for it, no one planned for it, and there was no board wide rally to find and release her personal information. 8chan was simply the spot they posted it. Within in moments "someone" sent her death threats over twitter using this personal information.

So her logical conclusion was that 8chan's GamerGate board, and therefore all of GamerGate, were responsible for the harassment and death threat she received. Let's not even go into whether or not this was a false flag attempt. Let's just acknowledge her logic. At the VERY most, there were two people involved. One person posted the information, and one person sent her threats. There was no planning or collusion done on the boards to do these actions, they were simply done by one, possibly two people. However, she still thinks she was in the right by blaming an entire group of people for those actions.

She got national coverage for this. No one questioned her reasoning. She was able to paint an entire board, an entire site, and an entire group of people as a hate group for these actions.

Now, we all personally know that KotakuInAction's moderators do not accept this behavior, and if anything like that comes up, it gets banned. However, that was the case for 8chan's board too. It was clearly stated on the board rules that doxing was not allowed, and Wu's dox itself was taken down fast. However, Wu was still able to convince people that it was 8chan and GamerGate behind it all, so how hard can it be to paint KiA, or any other subreddit, the same as well?

I'm sure the admins have their sights set on KiA, but they know what a shit storm it will cause if not handled properly. While they still do amazingly stupid shit, I do think they know the traction KiA has garnered, and that it won't go quietly. The days here are numbered, and I would not be surprised if we see more shady shit go down in attempts to paint KiA as one of these harassment centers.

EDIT: So, I did some digging. I found the archived thread on /gg/ on 8chan when all of this went down. I need to provide a picture to go along with it, because the dox itself has was deleted by the time this was archived. But see for yourself. See what they were talking about. See how sudden it is. See the reaction. And she blamed GamerGate for it.

EDIT And here's her tweet just minutes after the dox where she blames all of GamerGate and 8chan for the one post no one asked for, and was deleted for being against the board rules.
