...is this even doxxing? There's nothing personally identifying that isn't already public.

    You are putting their faces in the public to hundreds / thousands of people, telling them "go hate these people". Yes, it is doxxing. This will lead to crazies harassing them. You can also reverse image search them to directly find them.

    It's reverse image searchable in part because you can also search "Wess Roley parents" and it's right there.

    The 'that isn't already public' part of my comment is kinda important- this information and this image is already public, so posting it isn't doxxing anyone.

    As I said multiple times - doxxing can use public databases and social media to gather that information. Read the wikipedia definition, it is right there.

    Imagine a vtuber posting a photo on their private facebook. Then their neighbors grabbing that photo, knowing they are said vtuber, going to the fandom, linking the photo as "this is the vtuber, they live at XYZ". Would you still go "oh that's not doxxing, they posted their faces on the internet that one time!"? Of course you wouldn't.
