It seems to me that the people most loudly accusing others of bad behaviour (like doxing and abusing women) are pretty likely to be taking part in that kind of behavior. Like when some known anti-Gamergaters got busted trying to actively dox the popular gamergater mombot. And all the anti-gamergate and male feminist allies who've been turning out to actually be sexual harassers and abusers all along.


This is a common psychological tendency. Plenty of people who commit nefarious actions tend to speak out against said actions loudly as a way to tell themselves they are above said behavior. It's not restricted just to this either. How many times do you see homophobic people who are in extramarital affairs with a member of the same sex, for example? Or those who speak out against drug abuse who have their own issues with it? Projection like this tends to happen quite often but it's also important to remember it's not the norm for most people. It's usually contributed to Freud, so obviously it has it's detractors, but it's still something I think most people would admit is a truth.
