Holy smokes. Internet drama, apparently in the repair/ #righttorepair community there's been recent drama around some software for diagnosing Playstation hardware issues.
The drama started with the vendor ("BwE") being unpleasant and terminating licenses for people running software he didn't approve of, not sure if that involved running processes or actually checking installs or the file system. This reached Louis Rossmann, who did a video about it and also established a bounty for someone to create an open source alternative.
Unpleasant dude then escalated by striking Louis' video. This was a **mistake** and escalated it to "now you have my attention" territory.
Today's culmination is the video covering Mr Unpleasant's 'hacker' years in the early 2010s that ended with 4+ years (in prison?) at least in part due to blackmailing teenage girls into sexual acts on camera.
This seems to predate '#Gamergate' but it's absolutely reminiscent of it and I'd be astonished if this dude wasn't all over 4chan back then.
