In Tor's design document,[0] there's this:

I consider PinkMeth to be far worse, and far worse for Tor's public
image, than anything I've seen before. It dehumanizes and exploits the
women, of course. But it also corrupts and perverts its users, and puts
them at risk, by encouraging libelous actions.

On the other hand, it seems to me that any perception that the Tor
community had attacked PinkMeth would also harm Tor's public image. That
job must be left to police and private investigators.
