Somebody is targeting this Horowitz person I do not know nor care about.

They dug and dug, and found something to attack them with. A connection by investing into a company allegedly doing something illegal and deeply immoral.

Let me put extra emphasis: Horowitz isn't allegedly doing something illegal and immoral. A company he is investing on is allegedly doing something illegal and immoral.

We're supporting this lynching campaign by tolerating it and giving it attention.

"this Horowitz person"
Why highlight this?

What, if anything, is wrong with this?

"Andreessen Horowitz" is not a person. It's one of the biggest US venture capital firms (whose name comes from the last names of its two founders):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andreessen_Horowitz

(And that's stated in the very first sentence of the article being discussed here.)

Oh, I see. Thank you for kindly pointing it out.

I quickly closed the page when I realized the article needs some sort of membership to read, that's likely how I missed this.

I'm less sympathetic with companies, but what I said still applies somewhat. This is a Civitai problem, not a Civitai investor problem.

an article on a website is actually nothing like lynching
