Fake Reviews RFC

I think I'd like to take an open stance on a few things.

1. I seriously doubt that DumpSurveillance and nobswebdev are faking their reviews on a mass scale. Of course, I have no more ability to verify this than anyone else. I'm going off a few assumptions:

- Analyzing "weird" review activity is extremely speculative. Most of my own reviews come from blank auto-reg accounts with 1–2 purchases, but I know those purchases really happened. A lot of buyers just aren't interested in building an identity here. One of my customers once told me he'd already made 10+ purchases from me, but I would never recognize him, because he registered a throwaway account every time.
- There are indirect signs that these accounts really are making sales. For example, some of their deals were closed through a mediator, and some others with verified users. After nobswebdev's paysafecard-to-xmr sales took off, he raised his fee, which looks realistic. DumpSurveillance regularly boosts his listings with large sums, which would be pointless if he had no real sales. None of this rules out the possibility that some reviews are padded, but it clearly doesn't look like most of them are fake.
- Overall, finding a niche and suddenly having sales go really well is a perfectly real scenario. For me it was Telegram accounts: much to my own surprise, people are still highly interested in them — it's my best-selling listing on the market. I find it entirely plausible that paysafecards-to-xmr and KYC assistance turned out the same way.

At the end of the day, we once again need an updated rating system, so we can know for sure who's faking it and who's not, lol.

2. I find transphobia disgusting. When someone asks to be referred to as her, it's usually meant very seriously. Distrust often comes from not having any personal experience with trans people; I myself used to be moderately conservative about gender claims, until I became close friends with a trans man — his heavy, everyday suffering over a body that felt ugly and wrong to him moved me so much that, honestly, I'd have been ready to call him ze/zir/zur whatever pronouns if that shit made his suffering any easier. Provocatively calling trans girls "he" and discussing details of their bodies is unacceptable, just as it would be with anyone else.

And that's even setting aside the discussion of AilliA's gender. Speaking about her specifically, I see no reason to doubt she's a cis woman. All the current evidence (adam's apple screenshot analysis, poses on the photos) frankly sounds like utter nonsense. As far as I know, Douglas has seen AilliA in person on MoneroTopia, so to defend this conspiracy theory you'd have to account for him too. Eventually, this kind of paranoid fixation on prying out someone's "real" sex is unhealthy in itself.

3. I'm firmly in favor of pushing back against aggression, verbal aggression included. I think it makes sense even in the most anarcho-capitalist / egoist terms (which I personally don't agree with). It doesn't restrict free speech: any idea, even a crazy one, can be discussed in a kind tone, all it takes is good faith. Racism, sexism, homophobia and the rest of vestigials have no worth defending; while spaces where some human traits are regularly targeted are unfriendly and counterproductive. Slippery-slope arguments (“if we ban fascism today, tomorrow we'll ban everything!”) are absurd — nobody would defend the "freedom to enslave" or the "freedom to commit physical aggression" the same way.

A society that answers chaotic aggression with a demand for restraint and self-control is no less free. In fact, it's the only society that can survive freedom.

If Aillia comes here, he will deny it 100%. Why admit this, when you have dudes sending you hundreds of dollars per donation? Why give up the sexual validation? "I like your glittery titties", as some dude said to Aillia.

The dude looks to be 6 feet tall in the outdoor picture, huge feet, huge adam's apple, has breast implants, masculine musculoskeletal body, and is hyper-sexual around strangers. His hair is long yet doesn't straighten it or have even basic layers cut into it like a real woman would do. Doug would say, "Yeah I saw her in real life. He- oh, she's definitely a real woman". What these people SAY doesn't matter. They SAY these donations will improve the website. They lie. The fact that people genuinely believe they're donating hundreds of dollars to a woman passionately into Monero are sorely mistaken. Long hair and adding emojis at the end of your sentence doesn't make you a woman. 🍆✨

There's a reason Aillia always says he "feels like an alien" all of the time. This isn't a woman.
