  • I just watched the episode where she has the biggest issues with allying to some faction that kept attacking them. Then she gets “a talking to” from the first officer and the security officer going “bruh we just got our asses kicked, this aint the alpha quadrant we need this”. So the solution is to ally themselves with the first other faction they come across - a deus ex machina fleet of previously unknown oppressors of the faction that kept attacking them.

    Apparently the dealbreaker is “the oppressors who enslaved an entire race trying to assassinate the leaders of the other faction they used to enslave”

    Prime suggestion all the way. They really tried to make it “the sensible choice” in the early seasons, and they failed so hard at it that it’s rolled over from “funny” to “eyeroll” again



  • As I said multiple times - doxxing can use public databases and social media to gather that information. Read the wikipedia definition, it is right there.

    Imagine a vtuber posting a photo on their private facebook. Then their neighbors grabbing that photo, knowing they are said vtuber, going to the fandom, linking the photo as “this is the vtuber, they live at XYZ”. Would you still go “oh that’s not doxxing, they posted their faces on the internet that one time!”? Of course you wouldn’t.



  • Read up on the wikipedia definition of doxxing. It states plainly - it can be done from public databases or from social media, and that the goal is often to shame someone. This fits 100%. Otherwise you could argue that “it’s not doxxing, I just went through this guys comments and he slipped up and said that he lives in X city, then posted a photo that let me triangulate his exact location in the city from landmarks”. It is doxxing and a criminal act.



  • Definition from oxford languages, search for and publish private or IDENTIFYING information about an individual, typically with malicious intent.

    You are literally arguing semantics on something that is obviously doxxing because you don’t like the fact that someone got doxxed that you don’t like. For every definition that doesn’t specifically say “identifiable” information, there are three that do. But by all means, you go out and find the ones that let you sleep at night. I’m done with having a “world battle” over something that’s despicable behavior.



  • Historically, the term has been used to refer to both the aggregation of this information from public databases and social media websites (like Facebook), and the publication of previously private information obtained through criminal or otherwise fraudulent means

    Literal quote from the wikipedia article I linked. It. Is. Doxxing.




  • My definition of doxxing comes from wikipedia and is supported. People here think their opinion of what doxxing is, is real, despite no proof or actual definition. I already went through the definition and shown that this is indeed doxxing. Want to read it, here

    And yes, this post contains private information. It contains the information of “these are this guys parents” which would only be known to the select few neighbors at best. Furthermore, it contains information about their political beliefs. So yes, it absolutely is doxxing with the intention of shaming the parents. The info doesn’t need to be completely private and hidden - aggregating info from public databases or facebook counts as well.
