Uh, how fucked up is this? Remember when I said Tegan & Sara were part of a documentary that chronicles their years-long ordeal with a stalker/hacker who catfished their fans and generally made their lives hell? Well now, you can watch it starting Friday on Hulu. What a crazy, scary and definitely not cool thing to have happen to one of the most iconic lesbian musical acts out there, and their fans. Fandom is so interesting in the first place, but for someone to fully create a Fake Tegan persona and then proceed to catfish many, many fans and more for YEARS. Wow. That is some truly, truly deranged dedication. And talk about the ultimate disaster scenario in the annals of parasocial fan relationships. I don’t know if they ever get justice or find Fake Tegan (like, wow, did they keep this whole horrid ordeal under wraps – understandably), but I do know I’ll be double-checking all my password strengths and two-factor authentications.
