====== Winterfox Supporters ======

Numerous members of fandom, sf/f writers and editors, and social justice bloggers have stood by [[Winterfox]] since her [[the-mixon-report|outing in late 2014 as a harasser and blackmailer]]. Some of this is due to a misguided (to put it kindly) sense of solidarity with her as a woman of color, despite her being obscenely rich and despite her having targeted many WoC in her reign of terror. Some of it may be due to Winterfox’s having blackmail material against them. And a few of these people find her behavior amusing.

==== Committed Supporters ====

  * Alex Dally MacFarlane, a/k/a [[https://twitter.com/foxvertebrae|foxvertebrae]] on Twitter and alankria on LJ, who //“[[http://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/149163.html?thread=791224235#cmt791224235|colluded with WF]] to try to destroy the careers of various writers.”// [[https://twitter.com/foxvertebrae/status/522020589817856000|Just]] [[http://www.alexdallymacfarlane.com/2014/11/lies-misrepresentations-and-reports/|two]] examples from them.
  * [[https://twitter.com/asymbina?lang=en|Asymptotic Binary/Asymbina]], who apparently knew Winterfox from RPG.net and seems to be her most hardcore supporter. See, for example, [[http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?739504-When-An-Author-That-Once-You-Liked|this epic thread there that she started.]] //“[[http://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/149163.html?thread=791224235#cmt791224235|AB may also be operating]] as a mouthpiece for BS considering they ran with what ADM kicked off with the character assassination attempt on Pat Cadigan. AB also kept throwing up smoke when Requires Hate Record Anon was operating on Tumblr.”//
  * [[http://nihilistic-kid.livejournal.com|Nick Mamatas]], despite his outing of her. See: everything he's posted anywhere on the matter.
  * [[Deirdre-Saoirse-Moen|Deirdre S. Moen]] and her husband Rick Moen. DSM //“[[http://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/149163.html?thread=791224235#cmt791224235|wrote expose]] on dead sf writer Marion Zimmer Bradley being a child abuser. Seems to only care about abuse if it can help her career. Husband Rick Moen is a Vox Day apologist.”//
  * [[http://alienne.livejournal.com/|Alienne/Adrienne Leigh]], whose LJ //“[[http://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/149163.html?thread=791224235#cmt791224235|is devoted]] to 13 years worth of creepy stalkery letters to the man who dumped her 13 years ago.”// [[https://twitter.com/adrienneleigh/status/530797500903723008|Two]] [[https://twitter.com/adrienneleigh/status/530529304414007297|examples]] from her Twitter feed.
  * [[Jha|Jaymee "Jhameia" Goh]]. See [[https://twitter.com/jhameia/status/522456644547256321|these]] [[https://twitter.com/jhameia/status/522451556549926912|four]] [[https://twitter.com/jhameia/status/522486272733220864|early]] [[https://twitter.com/jhameia/status/522475805394616321|tweets]].
  * Tori Truslow, a/k/a trillingwire on Twitter, MacFarlane's romantic partner. //“[[http://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/149163.html?thread=791224235#cmt791224235|Occasionally suspected]] of ghostwriting or uncredited collaboration on Benjanun Sriduangkaew's fiction due to very similar prose styles, subject matter, and plots. Several stories TT described on her LJ had the same plots as stories later published by BS. However, they're obviously close buddies so that could account for the similarities.”//
  * K. Tempest Bradford. See: [[https://twitter.com/tinytempest/status/521738507434606593|two]] [[https://twitter.com/tinytempest/status/521737479582666752|early]] Tweets, plus her post [[http://tempest.fluidartist.com/calling-out-collecting-receipts/|Calling Out, Collecting Receipts, And The Line Between Creepy and Conscientious]].
  * Kameron Hurley. See: [[https://twitter.com/KameronHurley/status/522374488634445824|these]] [[https://twitter.com/KameronHurley/status/522375392041390080|tweets]]; her post [[http://www.kameronhurley.com/on-becoming-what-you-hate-redux/|On Becoming What You Hate, Redux]], where she defends the use of alternative personae and performative rage; and her later post [[http://www.kameronhurley.com/on-internet-bravery-this-is-not-nazi-occupied-france-folks/|claiming that WF’s victims should shut up because Hurley’s grandmother in Vichy France had it worse.]]

She claimed to be "[[http://james-nicoll.livejournal.com/5297360.html?thread=99517648#t99517648|appalled]]" at the prospect of the anti-[[Hugopocalypse|Puppy]] backlash leading to Mixon's éxposé of Winterfox winning a Hugo award. (Rosefox's fears have come true!! HA-ha!)

==== Concern Trolls ====

These people have not come right out and expressed support for Winterfox, but they sure seem mighty, mighty //concerned// about the effects that the Mixon Report will supposedly have on fandom, or (in the case of Simone) they feel equally terrible for everyone involved.
