Oh, hey, there's a thread about this! A few things I can add: * I can definitely back up the "tight with OWE wrestlers" claim being something she said, as she cold DMed me in June about how she wanted to get an American work visa for one of them?!?!? * There are people out there who will buy tickets to queer-centric indie shows as gestures of support even if they can't go. I know of recent shows where the total tickets sold doubled or tripled the attendance. Doing so little to promote the show is even more egregious when you take this into account, although it's also possible that she sold more tickets than she's letting on, regardless. * She's definitely claimed to be bipolar and unmedicated, but deleted the tweets. I have a screenshot somewhere. * I'm fairly sure that, at one point, she claimed she was a worker, albeit one so obscure that nobody would know her, but I'm pretty sure that's not true. * Someone saved this audio clip she tweeted during the VENY "food coma" mess and it's...uh...: https://streamable.com/8jra2p There might be more I'm forgetting. Also, a personal take on the VENY food coma tweets: I don't think the concern about the concerns about the tweets sending a transphobic message are misplaced. That said, as someone who has some good friends who are female indie workers, I would absolutely be at a minimum freaked out if one of them had a similar interaction, just with a cis male promoter. At best, it's weird and boundary-breaking.

Sheik has been acting oddly lately even beyond the Bandit and TransGraps stuff. When Effygate was going down, she was incredulous at the idea that Joey Ryan's issues didn't bleed over into the ring, that women had complained about taking the "Boobplex" or doing the magical dick spot, etc., and seemingly tried to suggested that my criticism of the spots Effy does that veer too closely to that red line was born out of homophobia. (Even though I had made clear that I like Effy personally and don't think he's anything resembling an IRL sex pest.) It was just...weird. I mean...I've talked to dudes who told me he tried to pressure them into the dick spot after they refused on the grounds of protecting their own gimmicks. I can't even imagine what it would be like to be a woman in that position.
