What I'm doing I do because I love it and I want to laud incredible hard working artists. I have no plans to drag people through the mud publicly even if they deserve it. That's just not what I want my image to be.
But some people test me.

In any incident where your faith in an artist is broken and you are looking to support another, particularly victims of the harm said artist had perpetuated: consider buying their work, sending them money. A simple follow on their social media isn't going to cut it.
And don't forget them either.

I've been saying for years that TTRPG mirrors the literary world in the amount of work people put into obscuring their backgrounds.
3/ Partly because as soon as you raise it, two main tactics are used.
People start screaming about doxxing. Sorry, but while I'd rather you were just honest about this, pointing out who your family are or what your day job is isn't doxxing and can be pertinent information.
