I didn't know who Shane Dawson was before, but I guess I do now. (Apparently he's a YouTube star with 23M followers.)
I looked up whether this had made the news. Well, in the last 24 hours there have been a number of stories about how he's having to publicly apologize..."for his use of blackface, the N-word and other offensive comments". It's a reaction to this video:

When did he make the pedophilia comments? I'll find out...

Hey @CadeMetz, you’ve written a time or two about me before and I seem to remember liking your work.

But doxxing Scott Alexander / SlateStarCodex? Since when did it become OK for journalists to reveal a pseudonym of an author?

Not cool. Can you explain?

Isn’t there a serious ethical issue here, namely, the fact that Scott writes under a pseudonym means that by agreeing to talk to you, he had a reasonable expectation that you would respect the confidentiality of your source?
He wouldn’t have agreed to talk to you if he knew you’d be revealing his identity, right? You relied on that assumption, which was reasonable and not in need of explicit confirmation since he famously wrote under a valuable pseudonym for years.

@JoLuehmann This sounds like as much a cry for help as an aggressive manifesto. So let me give you a piece of advice. You've never read the Bible all the way through for understanding, have you? You don't understand the textual basis of the religion you identify with. Right? OK then: 👇
@JoLuehmann You are on the road to non-belief—agnosticism or atheism. (Declaring yourself a nonbeliever would be more honest than declaring yourself a Christian who has changed the meaning of the word.)

Before you get there, confirm your stance more rationally. 👇
@JoLuehmann Actually read the Bible from cover to cover. I recommend using a YouVersion Bible app reading plan that takes you through all the books in historical order, like this:

But actually look up everything you don't understand or have a problem with.

I pity those who imagine they understand the Bible and that think it is merely superstitious nonsense and fairy stories.
It richly repays not just reading here and there, but all the way through, in deep study, with the help of commentaries and lectures like this one:

Here's a persuasive poem (yes) that conveys my point well:
