# NarcStudy: Dex Anous

|
||
**Alias Attribution Archive: Early Sockpuppet Deployment by Joel Johnson**
|
||
|
||
This repository documents the earliest known appearance of the alias “Dex Anous,” a digital identity deployed by Joel Johnson to comment on and attack the publication *Preliminary Case Study: Joel Johnson and the Tactics of Performative Intellectualism*. This artifact, timestamped February 14, 2025, marks the first known public use of a mask account in his coordinated campaign of narrative distortion.

|
||
