"at gunpoint"? Seems like you're painting with some very broad strokes there.

In any case, it seems there's more than meets the eye here. Her team INCLUDING her manager appear to be standing by her and they would likely know the details better than any of us.

I wouldn't be so quick to jump to conclusions.

Do you honestly believe that the journalists at mainstream publications would give platform to any googler that goes against her? If I would answer internally to certain threads saying that I think her being fired was completely justified, I would get a target on my back. That's why you won't find almost any voices against her and, the few ones you find, try to do it in a very "smooth way", always walking on eggshells. People that don't like Timnit know what her and her group would do to your career in tech, in the US.
I think Damore is a perfect example of what you can expect if you gonna go against the justice-seekers.
