It bothers me that many women feel they have no choice. The consequences for fighting groups of cyberbullies have always been bad, and seem to be getting worse despite the lessons of Gamergate. Nigel Ng has asked his fans/followers several times not to harass Hersha Patel, which might help, but those folks often have an ugly agenda of their own. She’s been caught up in something because he decided to make her the butt of his joke, so I hope the impact on her life will be more positive than negative in the long run.
