I'm curious, what did the poster do to cause 4chan/trols to focus on her? I know she pointed out some stuff in her article (she's a woman, mixed asian background, lists her pronouns on her page), but, usually, there's some sort of inciting incident that causes people to dogpile. To ward off any non-constructive replies, I'll point out from the beggining that I'm not blaming her of anything, and the trolls are _obviously_ in the wrong here.

All it takes is one asshole finding your youtube, github, or whatever. They tell their shithead friends, who yuk it up trying to ruin your life.

I had the same question so I dug around. As far as I can tell it really is just one anon that hates her for no reason. He's posted a couple threads with vague insults egging people on to comment on her github.

You can trace it yourself by using one of the 4chan archives, but to save you the trouble it started over someone complaining about GitHub having a readme page with a random profile as the example pic, other users looked up that profile, at which point the usual 4chan process took over. Also something about food pics. https://rbt.asia/g/thread/76729744/ https://rbt.asia/g/thread/76729744/ https://rbt.asia/g/thread/76735740/ https://rbt.asia/g/thread/76735740/

It's pretty straight-forward why they dog piled her: She was included in the first tweet that showed off the profile readme feature. You can see it in this Twitter thread: https://twitter.com/pifafu/status/1281001171352645633 https://twitter.com/pifafu/status/1281001171352645633 I wonder if pifafu was similarly harassed.
