I mostly glossed over the later part, where both sides were harassing, only dedicating one line to it. I know that the rad SJW side of the internet is very experienced with doxxing and definitely did it through out gamergate, but I wanted to make it clear that it was in retaliation and that neither side was innocent once it started to blow up.

Unfortunately I'm not super familiar with most of the figures that took part, but I'm pretty sure that Brianna Wu is another indie game developer who came out in support of Quin, saying that she had also been othered by the gaming community, which lead to death threats and her being almost as much of a focus as Quin.

As far as Anita Sarkeesian goes, as much as I dislike her as a critic and a person, she actually did deliver on those review videos, it just took her a year longer than she said it would, and was silent to the criticism that she took the money and ran. They're up on her YouTube channel if you're interested in seeing what she has to say.
