Yeah, having to tiptoe around the pooner is probably why Amy Player's story isn't a normie-targeted documentary series by now... and it sure helps her keep getting away with it, when the very people she tricks will shout down someone who saw through the last trick.It's ridiculous to read the complex psychological analyses on various Dreamwidths of her behavior and mental illnesses and personality disorders that ignore the gigantic elephant in the room that her pathologically lying about her sex just possibly might have something to do with her pathologically lying about everything else.
It reminds me of how the Tenacious Unicorn Ranch troons got so many puff pieces about them, but nobody ever mentioned how many of them were "plurals" (just like Liz Fong-Jones). There's just as much evidence for plurality as there is for being trans, but people know that's a fantastic claim too far, even if they'd never say it.
@Larry David's Opera Cape I'd recommend Strange Aeons' YouTube videos about Amy Player and about HIV Living, with the caveat that she's a pronoun-respecter. Still good work otherwise, and being a Tumblr person herself helps her get primary sources.
Yaoi experts show up here because female-focused fandom has been absolutely nuked by poonerism, possibly to a greater extent than male.If memory serves, women on KF aren't showing up from reddit, twitter, and tumblr. Sister sites like ovarit have been name dropped quite a lot. Anyone at risk of pooning out who shows up on KF arrives here because they've heard it's a hive of transphobes. Then again, we get a concerning number of yaoi experts in this thread. Somehow, a Ao3 to KF pipeline exists in baffling fashion.
I never had a Tumblr account, and I only had a Reddit account for a couple of days (needed to contact someone in my town subreddit about their lost cat post), but I came here via lurking Tumblr, lurking r/Tumblrinaction (etc) and then lurking here for a few years. Lurked Tumblr to keep an eye on my fandom friends from elsewhere, then the Pooner Nation attacked.
Ao3 is only about 15 years old, and there's not much "community" there. There are comment sections under works, but no PM function by design; it's intended to store works from offsite fandoms. It's a lot like KF in that way: free speech absolutists who are super serious about archiving, but can't really be brought up in mixed company. Every couple of weeks Ao3 posts on the main page about another fanfic site that they're backing up; some obscure fandom with years of works, almost defunct now, and the admin/web ring owner wants to turn over the keys.
