Neotarf, glad you focused attention on these kinds of issues. À propos of
that, a troubling pattern I noticed in Wikipedia categories:
Category:Abuse <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Abuse> includes a
subcat, Abuse of the legal system
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Abuse_of_the_legal_system>, which I
took a close look at, because I hoped there would be some reflection of the
double standard of in/justice for affluent white men who commit sex crimes,
in particular the infamous Stanford rapist case which attacked the victim
and judge Aaron Persky's sick joke of a sentence that made a mockery of
justice.
Instead, all I found under that was a sub-subcat "False allegations of sex
crimes
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:False_allegations_of_sex_crimes>"
to which the perpetrators of DARVO harassment claim to belong. Nothing
about double standards, victim blaming, and other such misogynistic abuses
of justice.
Thanks for going there, Neotarf.

These are mostly TL:DR and not tailored specifically
to online
communities, but are mainly valuable for their overviews
DARVO
"DARVO stands for "Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender." The
perpetrator or offender may Deny the behavior, Attack the individual doing
the confronting, and Reverse the roles of Victim and Offender such that the
perpetrator assumes the victim role and turns the true victim -- or the
whistle blower -- into an alleged offender. This occurs, for instance, when
an actually guilty perpetrator assumes the role of "falsely accused" and
attacks the accuser's credibility or even blames the accuser of being the
perpetrator of a false accusation."

Institutional Betrayal
"The term "Institutional Betrayal" refers to wrongdoings perpetrated by
an
institution upon individuals dependent on that institution, including
failure to prevent or respond supportively to wrongdoings by
individual"..."Victims, perpetrators, and witnesses may display betrayal
blindness in order to preserve relationships, institutions, and social
systems upon which they depend."
http://dynamic.uoregon.edu/jjf/institutionalbetrayal/index.html
*Tactics against sexual harassment: the role of backfire*"...if an action
is perceived as unjust and information about it is communicated to
receptive audiences, it has the capacity to cause outrage and consequently
backfire on the perpetrator. Perpetrators regularly use five types of
tactics to inhibit outrage: (1) cover-up of the action; (2) devaluation of
the target; (3) reinterpretation of the events; (4) use of official
channels to give the appearance of justice; and (5) intimidation and
bribery of targets, witnesses and others"

"A button to report harassment"
This is ties in to the Citron speech Q&A on "precision in recall": or
"a
rule that was very easy for people who are harassed to report that
harassment, but it also enabled people to use reporting harassment...to
harass other people."...and "we’re making a place where you can safely
report harassment, and somebody will turn around and well, now somebody is
going to in a very hidden place, report that I’m harassing them, and you
know, work against me..."
