See, there were a couple fishy things about this from the start. For one thing, when I cover Proud Boys pulling nazi shit, I make sure to catch *regulars* doing it. Showing that a troll popped into your chat and spammed you doesn't prove anything.

Second, I've spent a lot of time researching the Proud Boys. I'm well-aware that they're incredibly insecure about their masculinity, and are *all* about trying to act macho. If I were trying to pose as one, I wouldn't use Lisa Frank swastikas to do so.

Third, I know the Proud Boys still (mostly) adore Trump, for the most part. So if I were going to pose as a nazi-sympathizing Proud Boy, I definitely also wouldn't go around throwing Le Happy Merchant-themed anti-Trump stickers around.

Now, here's where it gets fun. The thing about telegram stickers? You can't just download one. You have to get them in packs. I'm on nazi telegram channels all the time. I know all the popular packs. But I'd never seen this sticker before.pic.twitter.com/Pbl6hVgIqE

Now, the stickers I'd supposedly posted got deleted quickly, and I never had a chance to see what packs they came from. But then today I saw you post this sticker-- another one I'd never seen before.pic.twitter.com/AjsTwxVj0b

I thought, gee! I wonder what pack that's from. And as you likely know, all you have to do to view the full pack is click through. Look what I found.pic.twitter.com/6kBaAiqnGR

And Minerva, I took my time skimming to see who uses what stickers in the Proud Boy chat. There's really only one person that uses this sticker pack. And she uses it... a lot.pic.twitter.com/yp95INoLOJ

And although you're in that chat pretty much constantly, for some reason you were nowhere to be seen when I made my supposed Hitler sticker dump. But you did make an appearance right after to make SURE to announce you DEFINITELY had no idea what had happened. Very convincing!pic.twitter.com/ChNJvd4nyK

You did, however, make absolutely sure to suggest that your PB "give me the wrath," a wrath that involved sharing my home address and cell number and asking folks to volunteer to rape me. Oh, and also involved a death threat that you very happily participated in.pic.twitter.com/wlhp26hecz

But why? It's not like your detractors in the Proud Boys had been slut-shaming you and passing around unflattering photos of you online all week. It's not like you were desperate to distract them and give them an outrage to talk about. Nah, definitely nothing like that.pic.twitter.com/sz1HjUMxnn

So here's how I see it: a) you're a crypto-nazi piece of shit who collects Hitler and "gas the k-kes" stickers for fun, b) your incredibly sexist PB orbiters were turning on you and you wanted to give their misogyny a new target, or c) a & b combined.

Unlike your "lol who can we get to rape her" friends, I don't hand out home addresses-- although you've made yours pretty easy to find.

You've already got enough violently misogynist haters in those PB chats that for your own safety, I'm not going to put your identity out there or even your etsy shop, although "Who is John Galt" Pinterest art is extremely funny and it hurts not to share it with the world.

But maybe. MAYBE. Next time your PB "friends" are targeting you... Instead of trying to send these violent misogynists after another woman, consider that maybe it's not worth being a hanger-on to a racist community that treats you like garbage on a regular basis.
