The Pun Tyrant
I missed a few good questions, so if that's ok, I'd like to answer though it's a bit late.
There was this one famous incident, the "Sokal Hoaxes" I think they were called. A group of, as they called themselves, "left wing academics" created a set of fake studies purposely written to be extremely absurd and sent them to social studies academic journals, where some of those fake studies were in fact published, and one even got some kind of honor award. Among the "studies" in question was one about dog humping being a sign of patriarchal oppression and one that was a section of Mein Kampf rewritten wih some terms replaced to appear as feminist theory.
The hoax ended up being discovered while it was still partially underway, but even with the results it did achieve, it became a whirlpool of controversy.
I think I'll go with "Phoenix". Immortality seems like it'd come in handy in such a situation.
What are some of the biggest hoaxes people still fall for?

I'm guessing saying 'a shapeshifter' is cheating here, and although hydras are my favorite mythological creature, becoming one would be...less than convenient let us say, with people probably wanting to exterminate me and all.If you could transform into any mystical creature, which would it be?

English, Portuguese, a tiny, tiny bit of french , German and Latin , and a weeb's worth of Japanese.What languages do you speak?
Not really. As looked down upon as they may be, there are still groups which suffer from far greater stigma due to conditions they have no agency over and may not even act upon, yet are still met with a visceral reaction worse than some actual murderers. By comparison at least, conspiracy theorists get off easy, and are more to blame for their treatment.Are conspiracy theorists the black sheep of society?
