Does Rapid Fixer Really Over Fix Film?

Experiments to test if rapid fixer can fade or "bleach" photographic film. I tested both black and white and color negatives.
I use Kodak Color Negative RA Fixer and Replenisher specifically because I plan to use it in the future for developing my own color film, however these results likely will be the same for other rapid fixers like Ilford.
