Your title makes it appear that AME/APE "Fuckery" is exposing market fraud. What do you mean by "fuckery"? Did you misplace this word in your title?
These are individual retail investors who are legally buying stock in companies they believe in. Over the years, many investors have come to the conclusion that they prefer to choose wisely, and then "buy and hold".
One of the main things that has come to light is that when you buy a stock on any of the main brokers (Fidelity, Vanguard, TD Ameritrade, etc.) the brokers don't actually buy the share. Yes, you'll see the share(s) you just bought appear in your Portfolio - however there's a good chance the broker didn't make the purchase (yet).
Also, the shares you buy ARE NOT IN YOUR NAME.
You are a "beneficiary"... the Broker (Fidelity, etc.) is the owner of the stock, and you are in "Street Name". Now, go read the small print in the Agreement you signed when you signed up. Basically, they have the right to sell your shares right out from under you (and without your permission) if it is in the broker's best interest to do so. Think about that - especially during the MOASS ("Mother Of All Short Squeezes").
Here's a video that, although a bit annoying, does a good job of explaining how it's not safe to keep your stocks in a brokerage account - and how Direct Registering your shares with the Transfer Agent is much safer because your stocks are now in YOUR NAME! ComputerShare is the Transfer Agent for both AMC/APE and GME.

Every share that is removed from a broker and Direct Registered is a share that is no longer subject to a variety of, well, "fuckery" from the evil hedge funds. The more shares that are removed from their evil hands, the less power they have. Ultimately, when the float has been 100% DRSd it will prove that there are millions (probably billions) of synthetic ("fake") shares. Marge will come calling for payback, and the hedgies will be forced to close their positions.
Lastly, I'm not a financial advisor, but I believe that AMC is a "distraction". I'm not sure why it was lumped together with GME, as they are very different.
Adam Aron (AMC) has done - and is doing - very questionable things. Ryan Cohen (GME) is a true leader.
Here's a link that sheds a little light on this. The best info can be found in the "comments":

Lastly, I would encourage everyone to get the Hell off /r/WallStreetBets - and spend some time on https://old.reddit.com/r/Superstonk
I think you'll find that GME is the true play, and I believe GameStop is part of "The Plan" to put an end to the total and complete criminal corruption that has been embedded in Wall Street and the financial markets for about 100 years.
GAME STOP - GAME OVER
