This page documents examples of flerfs treating The Final Experiment as a threat and 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 threat to their worldview.
Flerfs have repeatedly claimed, or expressed anxieties, that TFE is a “hit-piece.” In response to this, MCToon has said:
I didn’t have to stick the camera in [Witsit’s] face, I didn’t have to do anything to mock … 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.[1]
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.
