@DarthCoin does this really apply to the BIP-444 soft fork though? Since it is two competing chains but not two competing coins isn't this different than the scenario you laid out? Listening to Bitcoin Mechanics recent video he explains that the Bitcoin Karen fork will just lay in wait until enough miners move over to work on this UASF chain then once it catches up the original chain will then experience a complete wipe out.

actually modify your Bitcoin client to accept the nonconformant transactions, the result will be that any Bitcoin you hold will be slowly (or perhaps not so slowly, depending on your use habits) replaced by worthless scam-Bitcoins
this fork maybe a scheme to ensure only regular transactions are propagated.
