I'm not dismissing your argument because of inconvenience, I am because there isn't any actual criticism outside of name calling and opaque references to alleged misdoings. Name calling like "symptomatic of narcissistic, sociopathic women", claiming they invented harassment for personal gain and calling one a "literal con artist" (a person who isn't involved or mentioned at all in this article btw) without explanation are all personal attacks. And then you actually complain of "divisive politics"? Maybe consider taking some of your own advice, and ask yourself why people might react negatively to the things you write.

What you are interpreting as personal attacks are only included to serve as context. You only believe that I am slandering these people because you have not been exposed the other side. Unfortunately, the only evidence one could assemble would typically consist of twitter screencaps, discord discussions, and some degree of testimony. I have none assembled, and am not interested in searching reddit, for example, which you could easily do yourself; But I encourage you to look into it, because this is my highest rated comment on HN, suggesting that there is a distinct population on this forum who share these views, but perhaps are unwilling to express them publicly because of what has become a taboo.

  Call it whatever you want, calling someone "narcissistic" and "sociopathic" is a personal attack. Dropping allegations of being a con artist without any explanation or reference is just an attack, not intelligent or interesting criticism. And this is about person you just randomly brought into the conversation, obviously with an axe to grind. If you can't believe I hold my opinions honestly, not based on ignorance or because I haven't "looked into it", then you are in an echo chamber of the worst kind.
