No good can come from 'raising awareness' of child grooming. You may as well take evidence of that to law enforcement if you deeply believe it's happening.
Vigilante justice directly lives at odds with Western values, and sharing and pushing such accusations over and over in public is harassment (for argument's sake, you can harass people with the truth), and harassment is something the public feels they can kind of help with by denouncing the accusations and declaring solidarity with the harassed.
This isn't a particularly new arrangement. Reading into your post, I would hazard a guess you felt that it was scandalous that Zoe Quinn at one point slept with a reporter who later reviewed her videogame? Were you alarmed by the fact that games media figures had a secret chatroom where they communicated, potentially colluded? Wasn't that, in your eyes, the same situation? Why express alarm now?
