It's extra weird to me that people try to live a very public life but then accuse anyone with the slightest amount of criticism of behaving criminally...

Who has made accusations of behaving criminally?..

    doxxing. harassment.

    And to answer your question of "who?", marcan themselves based on marcan being the one to block HN links.

    But more generally, the majority of people posting online (especially streamers, content creators, even just twitter posters) these days seem to be very thin-skinned and will claim that any amount of pushback that they get for their words or actions is an organized harassment campaign.

      I think you are generally correct. I think also the personality types who become public makers, etc. tend to also be controlling, so any negative comments / discussion, etc. that they can’t suppress really irks them and often they go to great lengths to try to get rid of it

      Yeah it's really weird. Why push your weird subculture into the spotlight and then cry foul when people are weirded out. Kind of feels like it's all about fishing for even more attention.
