Acclaimed sci-fi writer exposed as notorious Internet troll. Cognitive dissonance puts nerds in a tizzy.

The troll engaged in threats of violence and rape against minority and women authors. The troll was then shown to be one of the many vile alter egos of a minority woman who is relatively successful and writes in the sphere of social justice within science fiction.

It wasn't really clear to me whether this troll was masquerading as a man or as a woman when making these attacks.

What's interesting to me is that in other similar situations it is tacitly implied by social and print media that estranged men are the ones making such vile threats, giving the SJWs evidence of endemic sexism in male dominated areas (such as science fiction writing, gaming, STEM, etc.)

I doubt if I'm the first to wonder whether the threats of violence against women that inevitably arise following situations such as gamergate, elevatorgate, the python conference, shirtgate, etc. are largely false flag operations used to discredit men and provide evidence for SJW outrage. It's fuel to stoke the fires on social media.

That's what disturbs me about these people. They're willing to terrorize and even drive the people they claim to be helping to suicidal thoughts, all in order to advance their cause.

There's a quote that was never really said quite this way, but that I still consider appropriate for the type of fanaticism shown here:

"We had to destroy the village in order to save it."
