A recent harassment campaign targeting narrative consultancy firm Sweet Baby Inc. has been met with silence by its partners.
This is despite the campaign's organizers spreading misinformation about how their games were made.
Failing to speak up could fuel further threats and harassment, says Take This Research Director Dr. Rachel Kowert.

The articles, specifically the older one linked inside this article, mention that the curator page you’re referencing was started after this harassment campaign and conspiracy theory had already started.

I'm sorry, but they're wrong. If you go to the curator page. You'll see the page was made on the 29th of January. Kindred's and Kramer's tweets are from 29th of February. So the curator page was made before the Sweet Baby stuff exploded. The tweets is the reason Sweet Baby got has big has it did. The curator page was an thing for a month without harassment or whatever. Before it got tweeted out.

Not to mention the simple fact that asking people to report harassment (and other blatant violations that my next text block will go in to) is definitely not harassment itself.

So then Kindred said, "and report the creator since he loves his account so much." is not harassment. Really?

And the best/worst part about this is that the press refusing to acknowledge it proves the point that this is a clique covering for eachother, which will inevitably be amplified into a concerted conspiracy by their opposition, when really this is just yet another example of cronies covering for cronies and a smattering of true believer ideologues.
