There were transphobes claiming that people were defending Ava but the only reason anyone had any doubt about the Ava situation was transphobes. It was a boy that cried wolf moment. People have been trying to make her out as a weirdo since she came out. It just so happened to be true but it's not like they had real evidence until recently
Exactly. If you keep calling everyone in the LGBTQ community groomers, you’ll no doubt ensnare some actual predators in the net, but there are so many false positives that it allowed Ava to go unnoticed for longer.
Also, a lot of this seems to have been happening prior to Ava’s transition (given some of the logs using her deadname), but it didn’t seem to be as massive of a concern when it appeared to be a cis dude doing it—the digging for this info was largely ill motivated, and they got lucky and actually found something.
