>The campaign against Jeong is some bs about old tweets where she mimicked the racism she gets back, recast as racism against white people.

This I saw just recently, my opinon here differ from yours though, had these been direct responses to racist comments then I would have found the explanation plausible, but they're not, and coupled with the sheer volume of them I can't see them as anything but her racist opinions.

As for 4chan 'campaigns', does this site has any sway whatsoever ? Back when I went there ages ago it seemed like anonymous people was just trying to be edgy and do 'shitposting'. I thought reddit was 'the place' these days ?

I just learned that VICE had her patron taken down and her Youtube channel demonetized due to her doxxing someone at VICE as a direct result of this article (which is not an excuse for doxxing, but something that would not have happened had not VICE ignored their agreement).
