I know at least one black dev who was doxxed, harassed and fired from work on claims that he ran a child-porn subreddit. The link? Having a similar name. Good enough to get him canned I guess.
In a twist that shouldn't be considered anything but tragic, he's also the guy who popularized the #notyourshield hashtag for members of GamerGate who are minorities, LGBT and women, to protest constantly being dismissed by opponents of the movement as "nonexistent".
So of COURSE the same white-knights who argue no such people exist went after him. Go figure.
