But unfounded rumors have drove a lot of people off sites and off fandom pre-tumblr days as well, like a lot. People have shut down their websites, deleted livejournals, fanfiction.net, myspaces even, and have left certain fandoms for years, and or were drove off permanently as well way before tumblr was a thing. I'm not just talking about banning a user from a forum or websites. People have gotten their whole website taken down, people have been hacked and like I said, accused of real life delinquency as well. Fandom has always been incredibly crazy. I just don't think Tumblr is ruining things when it was like that beforehand anyways.
No one's denying that stuff was bad pre-tumblr, but if you're the airt, you said what happened on tumblr was more mild than pre-tumblr.
Doxxing is much more serious than getting an entire website taken down. It's someone hacking and posting personal, identifiable information on the internet - personal addresses, ID numbers, etc. - for people do with as they wish. There's a difference between being driven off fandom sites because fandom has a bug up their ass and having someone search hack your personal info and use it to disrupt your real life.
