I'm unclear on what part you're calling factually wrong. That the same language that was being used to defend Frenkel and other SFF fandom harassers of women is being used here? That women -- including and especially women of color -- feel threatened and afraid because of Sriduangkaew's actions? That Sriduangkaew's been at this for years?
Your attempts to figure out which one's the worst sexist harasser is avoiding the important point: SFF pro fandom has a big problem with allowing women to suffer sexist harassment and this is just one more entry in that long, ugly history. You're telling women who are victims of one misogynistic assault that they don't get to be afraid and don't get to stand up for themselves because other women were assaulted by someone else.
(My abuser said to me, "What are you crying about? You think you have it bad? Look out in the world and you'll see how bad it gets."
What he meant was, "I can make it worse.")
I don't care that Sriduangkaew fought with Butcher and Watts et al. If those were the only people she targeted, well, mazel tov. Regardless of whether or not I agree with what she's saying about them -- I'll tell you I tried reading a Butcher novel once and wound up throwing it against the wall after two chapters -- as you say they're big boys and, furthermore, they're only a handful of incidents. If the person who spoke to Nick Mamatas has been following him and other people around the Internet threatening to drown them in toilets, say so and I'll make a roundup post about that, too, see if we can put a stop to it while we're here.
What we're talking about are scores of victims, most of them female, many of them queer, many if not most of them women of color, almost none of them professional writers being harassed, bullied, and frightened by Sriduangkaew for a decade.
