That affects people's mental models about women, y'know? It gets referenced in future talks. "Remember that guy who got kicked out" becomes shorthand that speaks to how real groups of people are thought of. Also it comes from a guy who calls men men but women feeeeeemales. That speaks to motivation

I wouldn't spend any amount of time on this at all if it was Just a fake story. Fake stories go viral all the time (UberEats, Jamaican Masterpiece), whatev. But this one was also leading people to specific conclusions about what women in fandom are like, based on something that didn't happen
