I think the most important thing to remember about these devs suddenly trying to take some moral high ground is - they have only JUST started to speak up now - for years they have been aware of the alleged harassment and abuse, and have remained silent. Now that the cat is out of the bag, they are desperately trying to find some high ground, and the easiest target for them is the faceless, nameless players.

Most of the backlash in this thread is aimed at the dev blaming the players for their own toxic and revolting culture of abuse and harassment, and suddenly trying to claim some moral high ground, but only after being called out for their own mistakes.
