Does Vox realize how much of a caricature of himself he's become?

Gallo said something negative but accurate that most people hadn't heard of until a month later when the puppies invoked the Streisand Effect to spread it far and wide in posts notable for being thousands of words longer than the original comment, because brevity is not a Puppy strong point.

Note that for all the Puppy claims of being fiercely independent people who abhor groupthink, they all jumped and snapped in unison, a month after the post in question.

Note also that despite Sad Puppy claims of not being Vox Day's minions, they sure jump when he dangles the bait.

I dunno, the “blogosphere” is awfully large.  It's difficult to play Chun the Unavoidable against the World Wide Web.

Besides, consider the fate of Ann Coulter.  Did you know she's still active?  But she'll never get her high-water-mark audience back, because she also “escalated,” played “Can You Top This” against herself - and lost.  Even I don't pay attention to her anymore, and I used to like her work.

If it got noised about that the people centrally involved publicly disavowed Vox, he might find himself dwindling…  his audience eventually reduced to those Lefties who find it useful to believe that his living caricature is the Real Deal of the Right.
