    I’ve also fallen for and followed a fake account before. It was some neckbeard pretending to be a female disabled doctor. Apparently, he actually was some kind of advocate for the disabled, possibly started with the self-justification to “help”.

    Oh wow, apparently it was a bigger deal than I thought back then: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jule_Stinkesocke

    Is the one about Kirk unbelievable? Some parts, yes, such as the immediate registration as Republican (not shown in screenshots), but in general, there are favorable non-Republican responses, such as “Shoe on Head”. I’m also upset about quotes out of context, that part seems to be real, and so it builds a bridge from reality to fiction. It’s just that I wouldn’t turn full MAGA because Stephen King smeared a conservative.

      Stink e sock e? And the name was fake?

      Before I sarcastically say I’m shocked I should look up if it’s a real surname… No dice. Gamers and a furaffinity account appears to be referencing the person, and there’s a children’s book that includes the word in the title.

      So without further ado, I’M SHOCKED! SHOCKED I SAY!!!

        It was a shock, and my faith in the internet will be lost entirely if it turns out that your name is not actually Killgrind.

        (Her supposed real name was Julia Goethe Gothe, in case anyone wants to know. Former Twitter handle @JuleStinkesocke.)
