I appreciate your concern and deeply regret not giving it more weight this summer. I will say, though, that I disagree that Necromommycon raised "great big glaring red flags" from the time that she first became involved in Andy-blogging (2014). She never tried to hide that she had been friends with Andy, and from the time that she read about "fish skin rodeo" she appeared to be disgusted with his cruelty and angry that she'd misjudged him. She was consistently supportive of Abbey et al. after that. The 2015 fake-channeling comment was troubling, yes, but we didn't know that was her until she confessed to it three years later. The "Andy redemption narrative" is a much more recent development.

I've been digging through archives of her Carlanime and Necromommycon tumblrs, and while there are little things here and there that give me pause, that's only in hindsight. I have yet to find anything prior to this summer that makes me wonder why I didn't see this coming. And believe me, I am looking very hard.
