It's true that there will always be a new cause to ride to the rescue of with their checkbook, but I would have thought new marks would get brought in with the national attention. The Tranchers obviously did too or else they wouldn't have started up a new gofundme so soon. I do think people are being put off by them on some level whether they're consciously making the choice not to donate because they don't like guns, etc or they're being put off by these obvious men living out an obvious larp and the poor acting so they move on to a new sob story.
I am extremely surprised it's happening. I thought they'd be able to milk another couple healthy GFMs before people caught on. Even reasoning that it's because of how close together the scams are doesn't ring true to me. That would require the marks to click a couple links to find out that information. That's precious time they won't be on the right side of history because they're questioning transwymyn. Maybe not showing all the people they're supposedly helping plays a part. There are no success stories from all of the misunderstood and beautiful women who use it as a sanctuary. You see cute pictures of alpacas and the same 4-5 dudes. It looks like some weirdo compound and not a halfway home to teach trannies how to be farm hands and get them on their feet or whatever.
There is also an increased awareness of how online funding campaigns can be complete scams. It might be that the pool of people willing to donate to causes without a strong history or trustworthy partner is getting smaller and smaller. A similar thing happened years ago with charities that spend lavishly on marketing and administration while comparatively little on the actual cause. People got wise, there was pushback, and the overarching message I've seen since then is to support the charities who operate in your community. Not only do you see the benefits helping your neighbors, but you can better keep an eye on their activities.
