What happened to them? They were such Datalounge favorites, and then they vanished.
Meredith Talusan, Jacob Tobia, and Alok Vaid-Menon

Their threads got nuked regularly because they attracted anti-trans trolls from all over who made DL almost unusable for a couple of years. Certain topics are just not welcome here, love it or leave it.

Alok and friends remind me of the old Far Side cartoon captioned “Nature’s way of saying ‘do not touch.”

How quick we forget: what about former DL icon Chrysanthemum Tran?
Chrissy attended Brown University in Providence, RI, but Tran currently does not attend college and has divulged to being kicked out of Brown for unknown reasons.
They're decolonizing their self these days...

R6 Yes! I loved Chryssy and his slam poetry. There was a poster here who called him stuff like, "our Hanoi hyacinth" and made us all laugh. I didn't mind him, even Talusan was tolerable, he posted here a few times and then took our posts and posted them on some fucking living art project or something he was doing. We called him Megadeth Talisman. Ah the good old days when we could all joke around. And I assume his friends still don't get laid. Alok is the worst one, I'm impressed, every single thing about him is perfectly crafted an intended to be as much of an insufferable prick as humanly possible.

I remember when Chrissy ranted and raved about constantly being "misgendered" over the phone. Bitch was so delusional he didn't realize he had the voice of a truck driver who smoked two packs a day and not some feminine lady voice.

I remember we had words with Talusan about the word "cis" being a slur. Janet Mock (as in mocking women) had been throwing that term around like the slur that it is, and Talusan acted like he didn't know what we were talking about. Sigh, at least he was reasonable, I miss people like him now that we have the fucking Buffalo Grill types. You know him, the one who takes his tiny white dog to restaurants and tries to get lowly staff people fired for not calling him "ma'am".

R6: "A transfeminine, Vietnamese-American Rhode Islander, Chrysanthemum Tran emerges as a contemporary spoken word poet."
The rest of us just "are." Chrissy, in contrast, "emerges."

They're still knocking around but finding it harder to get the same level of attention know that the LBGTQIA+++ Queerio bubble is starting to deflate. Perhaps they've also grown up a bit and so have taken a step back and prefer to be more low-key. All except Alok, who, as r11 says, is basically a fake who's just jumped on a bandwagon so he can become a celebrity.

Hats off, here they come, those beautiful girls. That's what you've been waiting for.
Nature never fashioned a flower so fair. No rose can compare: nothing respectable, half so delectable.
Cheer them in their glory: diamonds and pearls. Dazzling jewels by the score.
This is what beauty can be. Beauty celestial, the best, you'll agree.
All for you, these beautiful girls!

I love that Meredith’s article is really just a giant essay on how she can pass as female (fuckable) whereas the other two look like unfuckable circus clowns.
Shady bitch.

It's often forgotten that Meredith was one of the first in-your-face angry trannies to get national attention ten years ago when she took to wearing a hat she had knitted around Cornell that said "So you lost your dick?" (her roommate had made that comment to her, and it made her so angry she wanted to advertise it to everyone). There was a lot of attention to her on DL at the time.

These 3 hideous creatures are so laughably absurd that I enjoyed reading their exploits on DL.
The craziest story was the dildo gymnastics performance onstage at the university which was acceptable to the school because he is trans, had a straight or gay person pulled a stunt like that they would have been reviled and expelled for porn.

This is my one and only Alok story, which I've told on here before:
Around the time Alok came onto the scene (2015? 2016?) I had to do teaching observations of grad students in my department (humanities). One of the classes I observed was held in an engineering building (classroom space at the university is at a premium and they schedule classes wherever they can).
Anyway, the kid teaching the class was a recent SLAC graduate and earnest enough. He was teaching a unit on "identity" and the day that I observed him, showed his class a few Alok videos.
To each his own ... but the funniest thing was when an engineering professor walked by, paused (the classroom door was open), and watched three seconds of the Alok video with a huge "WTF???" expression on his face before scurrying away to the safety of his engineering lecture.
Even I was a little bit embarrassed for the humanities in that moment.
