For those confused, several people have accused him of sexual harassment and at least one has accused him of outright rape.

Before people get too conspiratorial about honeypots and whatever else, Andrea Shepard is a core developer and had this to say:

>It seems one rapist is one rapist too many

I'm not sure I understand what this means. How am I to interpret this?

The "Forest" story seems to be labeled wrong. It's clearly written by a woman.

All the names are pseudonyms, I imagine. Forest can also be a woman's name.

In addition to the mixed-gender pseudonyms, I think all the "Stories" have Applebaum's picture, rather than the person named. Which makes it hella confusing.

I'm not entirely sure I believe there's more than one person responsible for any of the content on the website.

Yep. The hash checks out with what she posted before.

puellavulnerata means wounded girl... How rich and SJW'ish is that?

Calling everything you dislike 'SJW' makes you sound like you're 8 years old. Andrea's a core developer for the Tor project who's self-written twitter bio is "Token Porn Pixie * Catastrophic Cryptocunt" -- Maybe, just maybe she's not being a SJW but rather just doesn't like rapists?

Wait, can you be opposed to rape and not be a SJW? That just blew the fedora right off my head.

This entire conversation is so screwed up.

You're not open-minded or forward thinking just because you oppose people who aren't open-minded or forward thinking. Both sides in a debate can be discriminatory. You're propagating stereotypes which are harmful (re: the fedora comment).
