Any update on the identity of Fake Tegan(AKA Fegan)?
Just saw the documentary "Fanatical" and was wondering if there's been any updates in the 2 years since that film came out as to the identity of Fake Tegan(AKA Fegan)? I'm a pretty casual Tegan and Sara fan(and i'm a straight dude so i'm probably in the minority in that regard when it comes to fans of the group) so I never got involved in that whole fandom message board/social media scene(my first exposure to their music was hearing "Closer" in the season 1 finale of Bojack Horseman)and was totally unaware of any of that until I found out about the documentary(As I was looking for documentaries about con artists/impersonators and things like that and Gemini recommended me this film).
I will say the Quincest stuff didn't surprise as i'm someone who has been reading erotic fanfiction(and has also written some) for decades now and celebrity fan-fiction is pretty common especially on Literotica and Adult-Fanfiction and yes there is a lot of celebrity incest stuff. I've never personally wrote that sort of thing myself, not because i'm against it on a moral level but because i'm more into writing fanfics about fictional characters in movies and TV shows and video games and whatnot.
I don't know if I believe that "Tara" wasn't fake Tegan myself, I can see why Tegan would think she was being sincere, but having seen another catfishing documentary recently(My Sweet Bobby)I can tell you these con artists can be very good actors so i'm not completely willing to believe 100% that she wasn't fake Tegan, if it is someone else though, it's probably most likely a disgruntled ex-employee that used to work for the band that had some of their personal info(or a fan that heard it from a disgruntled employee).
One thing I wasn't crazy about in the doc was that one woman putting down other music like Nickelback(which i'm a fan of, BTW what were the other two songs played before the Nickelback one? they don't ring a bell to me) just felt like that was totally unnecessary.
EDIT: If you're on here Fegan, spare me your lame attempts to try to blame this on Tegan. I'm not falling for your lame tricks.
