Overview

  • Screenshots shared by the X account Exposing (@herweirdsilas) revealed a series of 2017–18 Curious Cat posts in which Cain used offensive language and imagery, including a “LEGALIZE INCEST” T-shirt and a parodied missing child poster.
  • In a July 9 Google Docs statement, the trans artist accepted responsibility for the content, apologized for the “shameful” remarks, and noted she was 19 when she fell into an attention-seeking online subculture.
  • Cain claims the material was obtained through hacking and coordinated digging and describes its timing and method as part of a deliberate attempt to ruin her.
  • She rejects allegations of child pornography creation, pedophilia or zoophilia and characterizes the exposure as a transphobic campaign rather than an act of genuine accountability.
  • The musician pledges to atone through concrete actions and reaffirmed her support for causes like ICE abolition and criticism of corporate power.
