If anything, the fierce backlash shows how effective the movement was. What no one could have seen coming was that the mis and disinformation that bombarded the internet around the same time would eventually create a fractured reality where the basic facts of existence are a matter of opinion. In a world like that, the efficacy of name and shame is reduced to near zero because you can simply switch to a reality where sexually assaulting women is socially acceptable and continue on with your life.
