I think part of what made Susan Fowler's account credible to many people was that she didn't use the same terminology as university political groups (trigger, survivor, etc). The title, "I am an Uber Survivor", and the first few paragraphs, made me immediately skeptical. After she revealed specific examples of Uber's toxic culture, I began to feel quite guilty.

Yeah, you have to look at this girl's age and background. It makes sense that she's going to use that terminology. Every generation has different ways of talking about things.

Fowler's post was incredibly well written and showed the power of understatement.

She is very careful but smart about her article. Title reads "Reflecting On One Very, Very Strange Year At Uber", doesn't seem very accusatory to me, however this only makes the what the article presents even more absurd.
