The original analysis compared positioning of moles on her arms and face to the porn star's along with a comparison of other facial features like the indentation under her chin and the structure of her nose and cheek bones.
She also has photos of herself from when she was around the age she allegedly did porn posted on her twitter, which was what personally was put me over the line of "it's real" since they look like the same person.
But putting that aside, what I find objectionable is that both she and Yarvin were (allegedly) doing heterodox things in 2008, yet Yarvin remains persona non grata in "respectable" institutions while she isn't. And more people on the "right" will defend a former career in porn than would defend heterodox writings on political philosophy. Richard Hanania constantly has to repudiate his past pseudonymous writings.

I did not see that. I also think it's a little bit in bad taste, not necessarily on your part - but allow people to redeem themselves. There were Christian organizations in the Middle Ages dedicated to saving women from prostitution.

You're not wrong. That said, it makes perfect sense from the POV of the hypocritical establishment. A woman doing porn is no threat to them. Even child molestation isn't, which is why they are far more tolerant of that. Yarvin's heterodoxy is a threat, which is why they are not tolerant of that.
I'm all in favor of redemption: I need plenty of it myself.
And I could imagine someone with that sort of past being among the most critical of modernity. "When I was 18 why were all the adults in my life telling me I needed to 'find myself'? Why was one of the ways I could 'find myself' having sex with a stranger for money while other strangers filmed it? Why is that seen as a more 'respectable' path than getting married at 18 and starting a family?" And so on...
I'd guess it blew up because (as you mentioned in your original reply to me) she's been annoyingly critical of even the milquetoast "right". And based on other things she's said doesn't even seem to have "reformed" herself all that much.
I'm not too judgmental even on that, because like Coke needs Original, Light and Zero, we also need different packaging to appeal to different people. You may view Matt Walsh as 'milquetoast', but to most people, and to everyone we want to reach, he is a right-wing radical. In fact, to me, as a European, nearly every American is a right-wing radical, because I quite like things like mandatory vacation days, employment protection, sick leave, etc. Walsh's social positions are just common sense though.
My only problem is that she sperged out over it, because she believed her way is the only way. Whereas I believe that we should have her way and Matt Walsh's, and many others. In fact, "I love and support trans people, but" should be a last resort.
