i dont get how any of that makes it okay to "cross the street to avoid someone wearing a gaming t-shirt" ...what am i missing here? Why not just judge people on what they actually do instead of on the group (which isn't remotely a unified group at that) they are a part of? so some asshole doxxed her, that's not cool, but what does that have to do with avoiding someone with a gaming shirt?
I'm not sure that you read the original blog post that got her doxxed, but she says that she hated herself for crossing the street and that people shouldn't do it, because despite there being "assholes that will dox you" as you put, 99,9% of the gaming community is wonderful. It was a call to unity that got her doxxed.
Here's the original blog post:

"Because odds are 99% certain that those guys on the street who I avoided would have been awesome to talk to. I realize that letting the actions of a few hateful people influence my behavior is the absolutely worst thing I could do in life. And not an example I want to set, ever.
So to myself and to everyone else who operates out of love not vengeance: Don’t abandon games. Don’t cross the street. Gaming needs you. To create, to play, to connect."
