Back in June 2022 when Gays Against Groomers was still at its infancy, Arielle Scarcella was exposed as a groomer by two of her alleged victims (both trans).

To this day, GAG still hasn't addressed the issue or cut ties with Scarcella.

Why? The reason is very simple: because the story doesn't fit the narrative they're actively pushing.

Why? The reason is very simple: because two people saying something on Twitter isn't proof of anything.

This is not to say I support this group or their actions, just that I apply this rule to everything

Also I have no idea who any of these people are. And no idea what "kept up with" means

Wait, what are we discussing here? GAG is (according to Wikipedia) a far-right, anti-LGBT organization and Arielle Scarcella fits right in there with her terf rhetoric. Obviously they are all full of shit and none of them is really interested in helping people or making the world a safer place for queer people.

To those uninitiated, the "groomers" GAG is against are trans minors.

The groomer rhetoric turns out to be projection a lot.
