Not really a Streisand effect. This would be like if everyone knew where Streisand lived and she said she moved and almost everyone pretended she moved but she didn't move because in this analogy it is impossible to move because this analogy has really gotten away from me.

The Streisand effect basically means that the internet will do the opposite of what you want it to do. Or rather, it will do the opposite of what you say you want it to do, which is why leftist censors keep taking Ls but Trump and Elon are so good at manipulating social media.

A Streisand effect is when an attempt at censoring information results in diffusion of that information much wider than doing nothing would have resulted-in.

B. Streisand wanted pictures of her coastal mansion removed from a pretty-much obscure survey of coastal erosion. It was petty, it was absurd, it was ridiculous. A star throwing a temper-tantrum.

This drew more attention to it and now tens of thousands of people were looking at those pictures because she tried to have them removed from the Internet.

Like that ''I can count to potato'' meme little girl who, with her mother, tried to get the meme removed. The meme was already dead when they pulled this stunt.

If they really want to blame someone for making the girl's picture public, blame the mother who accepted her child's face be used in a texbook about genetic diseases.

It only got more people to circulate the memes instead of everyone forgetting about it.

Back to the subject at hand, censoring Ellen Paige's name because of Trans ideology is drawing more attention to her name and herself.

But she craves the attention. Pretend-victimhood is what brings her under the media spotlight after she hit the wall so hard she went cray-cray.

It's a ''pretend-Streisand effect''. Twitter and the media pretend this is horrible ''deadnaming'', meanwhile Ellen Paige is all hyped she gets media attention again.

Like how she jumped in-frot of cameras at late night shows after Smollet's hoax claiming ''WE'RE SO OPRESSED IN TRUMP'S AMERICA''.
