The exploit is pretty clever and cynical.
Not just from a plagiarism standpoint but indeed social engineering the hole can of worms that is "gender politics". If someone downvotes or publicly criticises an article about rape or abuse, however politely, they can be very quickly jumped on by various people invested in the story. Said persons may have the best intentions, or may indeed be in cahoots with the OP.
I recently posted a comment on an an article in the minefield that is the #introduceyourself tag - I politely suggested the OP should provide some verification, considering their introduction to the whole platform was a rather grave tale. I was quickly met with a barrage of hate from, for want of a better term "white knights". They went as far as going to my profile and downvoting most of my recent posts.
So, I backed off. I tried to do the right thing, and I got my ass harassed. So, from now on... I'm done with being mister principled. People can vote for stupid shit if they want. They can make some scammer rich, it's none of my business.
Anyway, kudos for coming clean and being cool.
And this is the second layer of the exploit where she feigns innocence.
She didn't come clean, she was BUSTED
