View source for Flerfs treating TFE as a threat

{{series tfe}}This page documents examples of [[:Category:Flerfs|flerfs]] treating [[The Final Experiment]] as a threat and [[TFE debunk attempts|attempting to discredit it as a hoax]]. In doing this, they unwittingly admit that the physical evidence collected on the trip, especially the southern 24-hour sun, is a [[Wikipedia:Cognitive dissonance|threat to their worldview]].

Flerfs have repeatedly claimed, or expressed anxieties, that TFE is a “hit-piece.” In response to this, [[User:MCToon|MCToon]] has said:

<blockquote>I mean, how can you have a “hit-piece,” right? The fact that the sun doesn’t set &#91;near the [[Wikipedia:Geographical pole|Pole]], around the [[Wikipedia:Solstice|Solstice]]&#93; … That’s the “hit-piece.”<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/live/O_CJzkN-ENE?t=35m37s 35:37, <q>Tomorrow we fly to Antarctica</q> by MCToon Live]</ref></blockquote>

<blockquote>I didn’t have to stick the camera in &#91;[[Austin Witsit|Witsit]]’s] face, I didn’t have to do anything to mock &hellip; None of that is necessary. That’s not the type of “hit-piece” that this is. This ''is'' a hit-piece. One hundred percent, it’s a hit-piece. The hit-piece is that the sun circled for 24 hours a day. That’s the hit-piece.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/live/2eAqrEpDZ5k?t=37m54s 37:54, <q>WItsit Lies, Red's Hijacks the schedule, then GlobeyMcGlobeface and Wheelchair Bowling</q> by MCToon Live]</ref></blockquote>

In other words, to a science denier (like a flerf) '''''reality itself'' is a “hit-piece,”''' and therefore so is anything that forces them to confront reality—such as TFE.

=== Union Glacier location ===
<blockquote>
'''Flatzoid:''' I do think that they're being duped to think they're at Antarctica. I don't think Union Glacier is really at Antarctica. I think that's at a different location and it's placed as Antarctica.<ref>[https://youtu.be/3Z9NRoFpDco?t=10696 2:58:16, <q>TFE Is not faking anything?</q> by Creality Jesus Saves]</ref>

=== Flatzoid claims TFE was rendered in Unreal Engine ===
During a debate between Flatzoid and Dave McKeegan, Flatzoid claimed that he thinks that TFE could have been done in Unreal Engine.

<blockquote>
'''Flatzoid:''' My uh idea is how they could have faked it was Duffy or someone could have gone earlier and and got high def HDRs uh surround environments of Antarctica, because when you look at the in the footage we don't see Union Glacier anywhere around there and they're only about 1.5 km away you should see Union Glacier camp we don't see Union Glacier camp at Mount Rossman. So that shows that they were either probably there when it was off-season when there were no tourists available, they were able to get their uh environment done, HDR environment done, and they could make recreate it in Unreal Engine 5 if they wanted to and therefore when they did all really go down in December they were able to just fake the sky and have the rest as a real environment.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4xhvYvFWps&t=11820s 7:18 Flatzoid claiming TFE was faked in Unreal Engine, <q>A Flat Earth "Debate" - Dave McKeegan VS Flatzoid - Was The Sun In Antarctica Fake?</q> by Craig McNeill - FTFE]</ref>

Dave McKeegan made a great video about how it's not possible to use Unreal Engine to fake TFE.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MA7h1gwmNzU <q>We faked the 24hr sun with Unreal Engine .... Apparently</q> by Dave McKeegan]</ref>

<blockquote>
'''Video description of <q>The Final Experiment — 1 Year Later: Exposing the State of Flat Earth</q>:''' One year after Will Duffy’s so-called “Final Experiment,” the truth is clearer than ever: the Antarctica experiments failed, the narrative collapsed, and the Spaceball shills who defended it — McToon and FTFE — have run for cover.
