There's something so pitiful about an obvious pooner pretending to be stealth. Even when balding lets her be assumed male at a casual glance, she can’t roid her way out of a Kermit voice, narrow shoulders, tiny hands, and unrelenting feminine mannerisms. Not to mention feminine interests.
I stumbled across this pooner youtuber “David M” because she made
videos covering published author Cassandra Clare’s fanfic-days plagiarism and I’m a sucker for old writing world dramas. Yesterday she uploaded a video covering
Amy Player aka Victoria Bitter aka Than Fiction aka Andy Blake aka
my favorite pooner of all time, so now I have to share.
Poor little poon can’t help but constantly wave her girlish hands around while insisting "not all pooners!!" She tries to cover for it by playing the fag, even jokes about wearing
leather pants to famed NYC gay bar The Eagle at some point in this video, but there’s a noticeable difference between the gestures of an effeminate man and a still-feminine woman.
She’s not much better at YouTube than she is not letting the whole world know there’s no penis in those leather pants: she’s terrible at summaries when that appears to be the premise of her channel, she refers to infamous hobbit-channeling poon as “Victoria Bitters” when the pseudonym was “Victoria Bitter” from the name of a popular Aussie beer, and she refers to criminal acts as “icky” and and wrings her hands, stammers, and looks distressed that covering a true crime topic means talking about people doing and saying not-so-nice things. The cherry on top is she actually travels to a few of the locations in the sordid tale of Amy Player only to not get much footage at all of the infamous failed charity garden because a gardener was weed wacking the lot and this poon was too timid to ask if she could film some b-roll or just come back later. Her
Cassandra Clare videos also contain some great whining about Rowling, for anyone who somehow hasn’t had their fill of that.
(If you're not familiar with Amy Player, pooner cult leader of the livejournal era, I encourage you to go down that rabbit hole. This
woke-but-watchable video covers her antics in the Lord of the Rings fandom where she formed her first-but-not-last Final-Fantasy-House-styled cult, but ends without covering the similar Harry Potter cult and the murder suicide it instigated. There's
a decent r/drama post covering most of the rest.
The memory holed article by
Kevin Spacey fanfic writer Aja Romano also fills in what came after, though it has its own weird bias.
FanLore.org has an Amy Player overview with lots of links. If you want direct sources, here's
a blog from one of her cult escapees and the
livejournal of someone else who got sucked in. And of course,
Amy does have an inactive thread here.)
