Following the March 2019 Christchurch mosque shootings, news outlets including "Rolling Stone", "Vox", and "The Atlantic" referenced Evans' warning about the nature of the shooter's manifesto. Evans argued that the manifesto was merely a red herring full of references and memes meant to distract observers. Following the 2019 Poway synagogue shooting, "Vox" relied on Evans' work to explain how the shooter's manifesto again constituted a 74-page in-joke meant to further radicalize other 4chan &lt;a href="/pol/"&gt;/pol/&lt;/a&gt; users.
