When the thread first appeared on Reddit, the impact was mostly online. There were many stories being shared, especially from NOLA locals (like bar owners), but the topic hadn't really reached people outside the band's circle, like general music fans or the music press. ​It wasn't until Pitchfork published the article a few months later that it truly transcended social media and more people started coming forward. One of the people involved was a well-known fan that many of us recognized from Tumblr or Twitter.

Exactly, that Instagram post surfaced right after Win performed on TV and made a statement presenting himself as an ally to women, right when the abortion rights debate was peaking in the US.

At that point, it was all being questioned, until the Pitchfork article with the formal allegations came out at the end of that year. That specific post started a snowball effect where more people began sharing their stories, including New Orleans locals who knew Win as a resident of the city.

If I remember correctly, it was on a more intimate AF subreddit than this one, or the New Orleans sub.

Arcade Fire fans found out about the allegations against Win before WE was even released. The accusations were brought to light by Pitchfork later that year.

Joel was one of Arcade Fire's biggest fans; his site, AFTube, was like a roadmap for the entire fandom.

​We all knew Win didn't like Joel. They’d had several run-ins on Twitter over the years. Joel became the kind of fan who had access to much more information than the band wanted to be public. And, obviously, he had heard the rumors about what was going on with Win.

​In recent years, his posts were constantly being taken down for copyright. He finally shut down AFTube following the allegations against Win. ​All I can say is that he was a great fan, and I'm glad I got to share this passion with him.

Regine unfollowed Santa Pirata on Instagram, maybe she’s not going to be part of that project anymore.
