The Rat King designator may be seen by some as a catch-all for SJW troon degenerates but there's a bit more nuance to it than that. Here are the criteria I personally use, broken down into expanding rings. Others may disagree and that's cool but this is what I use when making threads on people and to move threads that very blatantly aren't involved in any way at all.
Ring 1: Directly interacts with Phil and is a lolcow.
Phil, for better or worse, is the OG of the Rat King. Just because someone talks to Phil doesn't make them a lolcow, but if they exhibit behavior that's funny and they interact with him regularly they're in almost by default.
Example 1:
Kylie Brooks. Kylie is a fat racist wheelchair bound black cripple tranny who refuses to shave his beard, and who has frequently asspatted Phil when he's not banned from Facebook for hate speech. Kylie is in the Rat King because he's a top score for people wanting to show how good of an ally they are and his encouragement of Phil hating everything.
Example 2: Zayn Zaki. Zayn is
not in the Rat King despite being a fat half-white pube haired SJW who is less functioning than her glassboned dying boyfriend Tyro, who she steals medicine and weed from. She has never interacted with Phil and even though she's friends with Kylie Brooks, does not involve herself with other members of the Rat King. There is no true connection.
Ring 2: Peripherally interacts with Phil, is friends/enemies with at least 2 other lolcows
Expanding on the above, we have guilt by association.
Example 1:
Chloe Sagal. Chloe is an insane tranny who has been raped 12+ times, had doctors record her autistic screams while torturing her, and is unable to shower or feed herself without someone doing it for her. She is dating Seth Collins, previously dated Rani Bakr, was friends with Billie Raddik, feuds with any tranny who makes more ebegging money than her, and was discovered because she was briefly friends with Phil. She, and her list of paramours, are in the Rat King.
Example 2:
Richard Jones/Fire. Richard is a fat histrionic pedophile troon from Something Awful who regularly fakes suicide threats and wastes taxpayer resources by demanding psyche holds for attention every couple months. He has previously been friends with Phil except when he tried selling him out, regularly attempts to be friends with Chloe Sagal and Greta, and fails regularly at ebegging. Richard is in the Rat King.
Example 3:
Dave Kelly/Shmorky. Shmorky is a fat histrionic pedophile troon furry from Something Awful who regularly insinuates he wants to kill himself and fails at ebegging. Even though he is tumblr personified and shares many of the same delusions and beliefs as Phil and other Rat King members, he does not interact with them publicly. He is
not in the Rat King.
Ring 3: Is friends/feuds with at least 3 other lolcows, has 3 degrees of direct separation from Phil.
We come to the last ring, where the majority of these people fall. Part of the Rat King designator is that they are all tangled together by their tails, stuck by the autism and shit they regularly wallow in. Phil is still involved because if you can get to him in three meaningful hops there's a good chance they're in the Rat King. The key designator is they have to have interactions with others, simply following Greta on twitter and yelling nonsense that no one listens to just means you're crazy.
Example 1: Brianna Wu. Brianna Wu is a tranny scammer who is only known because of trolling Gamergate. She has feuded with tons of people, been supported by tons more, but never really interacts with any of them. She can't be directly traced to Phil because she never directly interacts with anyone that can't aid her. Brianna Wu is
not in the Rat King.
Example 2: Nora Reed. Nora is a fat woman who pretends to be a nonbinary man and lives in a fart filled home her father bought her making mad-lib bots on Twitter. She is directly involved with a number of undesirables, including Randi Harper, Izzy Galverez, Zinniah Jones, Alex Leal, and Jake Alley. She can be directly traced by
Zinniah Jones ->
Seth Collins -->
Chloe Sagal -->
Phil. Nora Reed is in the Rat King.
Example 3: Jake Alley / SecretGamerGrrl. Jake is a fat beta neckbeard who discovered if he pretended to be a tranny on the internet people would talk to him. He's known for making long winded diatribes on Twitter against things that other troons whine about and trying to insert himself into conversations with anyone that might give him any attention at all. Despite his connections and attempts, most cows ignore him, and even though he's a Nick Nyberg and Nora Reed supporter has no 3-hop connection to Phil. He's included in the Rat King subforum for but I've never held he's a part of it based on my own criteria.
Example 4:
Nostalgia Chick. Lindsay is an unfunny nobody youtuber from an unfunny nobody youtubing network, none of which have accomplished anything, ever. She does not interact with lolcows and cannot be traced to Phil through any connections. She is not in the Rat King.
All these words later, we get to the question of
Archivist Becks. She is 100% a lolcow, but based on the criteria above I do not think she is a part of the Rat King. She has interacted recently with Jake Alley, and has brief connections to Katherine Cross, Brianna Wu, and Allison Rapp, but has no direct involvement with Phil and cannot be traced back to him.
