You are actually spot on with this comment and it's unfortunate that the conclusions being jumped to in the rest of the thread made you rethink it.
We cannot and will not give further personal information about players we've spotlighted, but when we chose them it wasn't based on incomplete information we pulled from the internet. They're people we've been aware of in some cases for years, whose stories we'd heard before; we wanted to share them with the community because we hoped it would be a positive experience. And for the most part, it has been.
What I'd hope for from this community is the basic understanding that nobody's life is immediately readable to total strangers, that no one is entitled to further context just because they watched a video about someone, and that nobody here would want to be under this kind of hostile scrutiny.
