Exactly. This woman was attacked by SJWs and she lost her job and felt traumatized because of shaming her family, etc. Her life was ruined, but I don't think she ever actually worried for her safety with regards to being murdered or anything of that nature.
MRAs and GamerGate types are doxxing SJWs and sending swat teams and kiddie porn and gory photos and death threats at them. SJWs may not be the best type of people, but the MRA/Gamergate movement is terrifying.
EDIT: as for the topic at hand--I don't think it was completely awful that she lost her job. Her job was in Public Relations, she has to be self-aware enough to realize something like that might come across as offensive. The excessive trolling and harassing goes too far, but as far as the job loss, I don't feel all that sorry for her as far as that goes.
I guess it all depends on the level of offensiveness as far as how I feel about public shaming. Horribly racist, homophobic, transphobic, etc things--if you say them, deal with the consequences. Whether people want it to or not, the world is moving forward toward acceptance, and if shaming is the only way to break people out of those bigoted habits, shaming it shall be.
As far as shaming anti-vax types, if you're going to ignore medical science to a point where you don't care whether your actions hurt those around you, I have no problem calling you an idiot to your face.
