What manipulation method is this:
Three people have a Voice Chat - Usernames: Sheep Man, Matt, and Aerialyn.
Sheep Man was banned from a Discord server for transphobia in another server, but he believes that the ban reason was related to harassment that he was partaking in against Aerialyn.
Aerialyn was accused of cheating with an exposal video on YouTube in a speedrunning game that Sheep Man also plays, and Sheep Man took this chance to start harassing her with the goal of getting her banned from the server, since the server was owned by the company who created the game she speedruns (4J Studios).
Matt is a moderator for the server Sheep Man was banned from.
The situation is extremely complex and would take (not exaggerating) 57 pages to detail from start to finish (and it's still being worked on for accuracy), so I'm only including the basic pieces of information.
The exposal video was made on an alt account (Minecraft Glide EXPOSING) by Sheep Man but he denies it being him. The exposal misgenders Aerialyn and makes claims that have been since disproven, but getting into this can of worms is another 51 pages, so all that you need to know is that there were 4 videos made against Aerialyn and 2 that were made on Aerialyn's side, along with a hefty amount of comments defending either side. The reasonable conclusion is that Aerialyn didn't cheat, with the video only having been created to misgender Aerialyn. Whether or not Sheep Man genuinely started believing his claims after the initial video was made is unclear.
During the VC with Aerialyn and Matt, Sheep Man tries to reason getting unbanned or figuring out the ban length with Matt. He argues that the ban is unjustified and does a lot of things that doesn't help his case like trying to shift the ban to Aerialyn, saying the R slur, calling the action that the moderation team stupid, and arguing that there's nothing wrong with saying slurs.
Nothing changed after the VC, but the next day, in public chat of the server (the 4J server, where the VC took place), he sparks some drama about himself being banned, but he does so on an alt account "FedMC" to give the appearance of being someone else. More details about the alt before I continue this:
FedMC joined the server Sheep Man was banned from and argued about the decision, trying to minimise the severity of Sheep Man's actions with statements like "this kid must've said the n word or something, right? Cuz that's CRAZY". FedMC got banned from that server for disrupting the peace and moved to the 4J Server. Now for the main bit:
FedMC sparks drama in the 4J Server about how the mod team banned him for a mere disagreement, pinging the server owner and trying to drag others in it.
The main statements (with comments in square brackets):
When Aerialyn enters chat, he says "There were like 3-5 guys [Sheep Man, 2 of his friends, & mute spectators] literally roasting [accusations, egging on, transphobia, & saying slurs] a guy [misgendering] called kitten's [Aerialyn's display name] ass
And apparently they [Sheep Man & friends] got banned from @[other server owner]'s server
For that [They got banned before that VC, so it wasn't the reason]
I watched those convos [FedMC never joined VC] and they were light af [manipulation, cheating, & doxxing accusations against Aerialyn, which were made, aren't light]"
The goal here is obviously to skew the opinions of the unaware people entering and reading chat, but how exactly, and what is the method called? What else is applicable with all this context in mind?
