I Hate Catfish Profiles On The Internet

The idea of Catfish on SW has always been an odd dynamic to me. Everyone knows they are here, and just about all people complain about catfish here. That seems to be the accepted truth. However, the weird part is that when people call out a catfish, users here suddenly have some sort of morality flip in which calling out a catfish is a heinous act. It is very odd to me. Of course if you are a popular member here and you call out a catfish, it is perceived as less of a travesty to do as such. Although, the more well known and possibly well liked the catfish in question is, the more egregious the act of calling them out turns out to be, which is also interesting.

It just seems like such a peculiarity to me. I mean, admins here tried to make a whole system to verify that people are who they say they are, surely at the large request of users here due to the amount of catfish, yet this system was then ridiculed beyond mercy, and now we sit in the same place as we were before.
