   Sad that they feel this is necessary.

   Also feels like something that could be life ruining if someone innocent finds themselves on the list by mistake/fluke. This is presumably crowdsourced which is not bulletproof

      Not as likely as you think. The reason a list like this feels necessary to many (presumably mostly) women is that in SV culture there's a presumption that these sorts of claims are almost always baseless. That these women engaged in consensual activities and either regretted it after the fact or were trying to make a buck.

            Consider the number of lives ruined when there's no way at all to speak out.

                  Why don't you apply this attitude to the people you do seem to care about?

                  If someone is accused of sexual harassment, sexual assault, etc. and they believe it's defamation, they can always take it to the courts.

                  See how this works?
