No, I don’t think so. We all know that they’ve been trying to get rid of a certain section of the fandom since before the sham. Maybe this is how the Rat tries to do it?
Everyone in a small corner of Tumblr? That doesn’t change anything and there is no “civil war”, if anything the only thing PR is going provoke is more damning leaks. They certainly don’t want to lose control of a counterproductive narrative that should have ended months ago. The ShamWow is a liability and a hindrance for both the Rat and BC, the only party profiting from this circus now is Team SoSo. They need to stop fluffing off and deal with the underlying issue…
