Erinn on X

Friendly reminder: Ashley St. Clair literally wrote Elephants Are Not Birds, a whole children’s book fiercely opposing gender ideology and transitioning minors. Only a deeply broken person flips 180° on something they were once that adamant about

Analysis Factors

Confidence
False Dilemmas 2/5
Implies only 'broken' explains flip, but no binary options presented.
Us vs. Them Dynamic 3/5
'Deeply broken person' pits conservatives against her as betrayer, fostering us-vs.-them on gender ideology.
Simplistic Narratives 3/5
Frames her as once 'fiercely opposing' now flipped, good-vs-evil without nuance on views.
Timing Coincidence 2/5
Posted Jan 12 amid backlash to Ashley's Jan 11 apology and Grok feud; minor link to Elon drama but organic to X conservative discourse, not distracting from Iran protests or SCOTUS trans cases.
Historical Parallels 1/5
No parallels to propaganda playbooks; standard X infighting, unlike state ops or astroturfing campaigns.
Financial/Political Gain 3/5
Supports anti-trans conservatives and Elon custody narrative; ideological win for right-wing vs. 'woke flip' but no paid promotion or specific beneficiaries found.
Bandwagon Effect 1/5
No 'everyone agrees' language; individual opinion without claiming broad consensus.
Rapid Behavior Shifts 3/5
Amplifies sudden anti-Ashley trend post her apology via custody rumors; moderate pressure to reject trans views but no extreme conversion push.
Phrase Repetition 4/5
Echoes verbatim phrases like 'flips 180°' and book title across Jan 11-12 posts by @ErinnFL, @BrianAtlas; clustered around her apology.
Logical Fallacies 3/5
Ad hominem via 'deeply broken person'; assumes flip proves instability without evidence.
Authority Overload 1/5
No experts or authorities cited; relies on her book authorship.
Cherry-Picked Data 2/5
Highlights book opposing 'gender ideology and transitioning minors' but ignores recent statements.
Framing Techniques 4/5
'Friendly reminder' softens attack; 'literally wrote... fiercely opposing' and 'flips 180°' biases as betrayal.
Suppression of Dissent 1/5
No labeling of critics; attacks her personally without dismissing opposition.
Context Omission 4/5
Omits context of her Jan 11 apology mentioning guilt over Elon's trans daughter; ignores if full reversal or nuance.
Novelty Overuse 2/5
No claims of unprecedented events; focuses on known book and alleged flip without shocking novelty.
Emotional Repetition 1/5
No repeated emotional triggers; single use of 'deeply broken person' without emphasis.
Manufactured Outrage 3/5
'Deeply broken person flips 180°' amplifies outrage over her stance change without new facts, tying to old book amid recent apology.
Urgent Action Demands 1/5
No demands for immediate action, sharing, or response; merely a 'friendly reminder' without pressure.
Emotional Triggers 3/5
Phrases like 'deeply broken person' evoke outrage and pity, portraying Ashley St. Clair as mentally unstable for changing views, triggering emotional disdain.
