How Lily Draws In Her Audience
One of the more disturbing aspects of Lilyâs influence is that she specifically attracts people who are vulnerableâpeople who have been abused, marginalized, or mistreatedâand then weaponizes that against them.
For abuse survivors, especially those who are still healing, itâs easy to latch onto someone who speaks with absolute certainty. Lily presents herself as someone whoâs been through it all, who knows what abuse looks like, who sees through manipulationâbut in reality, she just demands blind loyalty and paints anyone who questions her as an abuser.
A few ways she traps people:
She presents herself as an authority on abuse. Since many of her fans are survivors, they naturally trust her judgment. But she exploits that by redefining abuse to suit her needs, convincing them that anyone who criticizes her must be an abuser.
She provides a "safe space"⌠thatâs actually a trap. The more people invest in her community, the harder it is to leave. If they start questioning her, they risk losing their entire support system.
She feeds into their fears and trauma. Many of her fans have a deep fear of being manipulated again. Instead of helping them build healthy skepticism, she teaches them to see her enemies as manipulators while blindly trusting her.
She isolates people from outside perspectives. Any criticism of her is framed as âtransphobia,â âabuse apologism,â or âbad faith.â This keeps people locked into her narrative because they fear being seen as bigots or enablers.
Lily also specifically appeals to neurodivergent and LGBT+ fans by framing herself as a champion for marginalized groupsâsomeone who "tells it like it is" and "fights for the oppressed." But in reality, she weaponizes their experiences and struggles to keep them under her control.
How She Hooks Neurodivergent Fans
A lot of neurodivergent people, especially autistic folks, struggle with black-and-white thinking, difficulty navigating social nuance, and a strong sense of justice. Lily exploits these traits by:
Presenting herself as a voice of moral clarity. Many ND people prefer clear-cut rules over messy social politics. Lily gives them that by framing every situation as good vs. evil.
Encouraging "righteous" anger. Many ND people have been dismissed, gaslit, or ignored in real life. Lily taps into that frustration, making them feel validatedâwhile directing their anger toward her enemies.
Punishing critical thinking. If someone questions her, she dismisses them as "brainwashed," "supporting abusers," or "part of the problem." Since ND people can already struggle with social cues, they may second-guess their own instincts and default to trusting her version of events.
Using a rigid rule system. Her community operates on a set of unspoken but harsh, inflexible rules. Break one, and youâre ostracized. Many ND people follow strict rules in social settings to avoid conflict, so they adapt to Lilyâs without realizing theyâre being manipulated.
Lily markets herself as an unapologetic trans woman who doesnât care what cis people think. This attracts other trans and queer people, many of whom have faced discrimination and feel like they have to âplay niceâ in society. Lily offers them an alternative:
"You donât have to be polite anymore." She encourages LGBT+ fans to be openly hostile to their critics. This is appealing to people who have been bullied, harassed, or discriminated against. But instead of healthy boundary-setting, Lily fosters a siege mentalityâ"youâre either with us or against us."
Weaponizing transphobia accusations. Any criticism of her, no matter how valid, is labeled transphobic. This makes her LGBT+ fans afraid to question her, because they donât want to be seen as betraying another queer person.
Claiming she understands LGBT+ oppression better than anyone. She dismisses any queer person who criticizes her. She uses this as a way to delegitimize her LGBT+ criticsâeven though many of them respect her identity but simply disagree with her behavior.
Lilyâs entire mode of operation hinges on controlling the narrative. She doesnât present argumentsâshe declares facts and expects her audience to accept them without question. If you challenge her version of events, you arenât just wrong in her eyes; youâre malicious, an enemy, a âstalker,â or a âbad faith actor.â
This is why she never provides evidence or proof for her claims. She doesnât feel she needs to. Her authority as a figure in her community is enough for her followers. If Lily says something, then itâs true by default. Any contradictions or inconsistencies get hand-waved away because her fans trust her, not facts.
Her black-and-white mindset reinforces this. There is no room for nuance in her world. Either you support her fully or youâre against her completely. Thereâs no middle ground. This ensures that even when people start noticing inconsistencies, theyâre unlikely to speak up for fear of being branded as part of the enemy camp. Itâs easier to rationalize the contradictions than to risk being exiled.
This same strategy applies across all aspects of her behavior. She tells her fans Joon the Kingâs documentary is just drama and should be ignoredâso they ignore it, despite the fact that it presents mountains of evidence.
This is why Lily thinks she can lie so freely. She assumes her audience wonât remember or care if she contradicts herself. And in many cases, sheâs right. Because sheâs conditioned them to trust her above all else.
