Bear in mind that one can say something along the lines of "her actions caused this situation" or "her actions made this situation worse" without saying "she _deserves_ this situation because of her actions." They're very different sentiments. I'm sure I've seen statements like the first two in the past few days but I don't recall any like the latter.
I remember statements along the lines of she left a trail, that's why she got outed, and for all our sakes she should either leave or switch pseudonyms, because by getting outed she's hurting the project more than helping it... and I strongly disagree with those statements.
Yes, but those statements aren't saying she _deserved_ it. They say nothing about SlimVirgin as a person.
BTW, I think there's a slight inaccuracy in your recollection. I don't think the common argument was that she was hurting the project by getting outed, I think it was that the project was being hurt by the attempts to continue covering her identity up afterward. SlimVirgin herself wasn't actually involved with that as far as I'm aware.
