gollark: Anyway, it's impractical to just not put any identifying information on the internet, and in any case blaming people you target for having it is victim-blaming and thus bees, and correlating public information to identify them still allows for evilness, and you should ask before stalking people or at the *very least* agree to stop stalking them if they ask you to.
gollark: I expect SOME of them like bad movies.
gollark: Yes. There are at least 8 people who exist.
gollark: What?
