Swatting is a dangerous thing that people sometimes do to people online who have been doxed

Swatting doesn’t just happen to random people who have been opportunistically doxed tho

Unfortunately there have been random people who get targeted by the internet and they get severely harassed and doxed for no reason other than being cringe online or just existing. It's so naive to say that it doesn't happen and it's not a problem lol. Jessi slaughter for example was just a 12/13 year old kid at the time when the internet started picking on her, doxed her, harassed her family, and it basically ruined her life. More recently there was a woman on tiktok who doxed her commenters or anybody who disagreed with her and would send people to harass them or contact their jobs and get them fired. There's plenty of other examples and I almost wish I was naive as you to think this doesn't happen lol

It’s naive to think there’s a significant chance for a random person who was doxed to be swatted which is what you claimed and what I was talking about. I don’t care about those people being doxed lmao I never said people don’t get doxed, I said random people don’t get swatted - be as condescending as you want tho, u still got ratioed
