4chan gay

The Trevor Project came under attack on Tuesday, targeted by a group of individuals associated with the anonymous imageboard 4chan, who sought to overwhelm the LGBTQ nonprofit’s online chat. The Gay Nigger Association of America (GNAA) was an Internet trolling group. They targeted several prominent sites and internet personalities including Slashdot, Wikipedia, CNN, Barack Obama, Alex Jones, and prominent members of the blogosphere.

That day, Twitter users 4chan 's /co/ board began making memes continuing to paint the scene as a homophobic rant, depicting Ruby as a homophobe and saying homophobic slurs and phrases. Those 4chan users who did view the document dismissed it as "fake and gay".

The Defence Intelligence Organisation assessment contained information that could have been exploited by foreign. Various efforts to tie the LGBTQ community to pedophilia have been linked back to 4chan, including the creation of a fake rainbow flag for Gay Pride Month that supposedly was designed to show. The Facebook event simultaneously received high numbers of links to fake donation pages relentlessly posted by bots.

Horse Meat Disco may have been among the first victims of Operation Pridefall, a concerted effort from the alt-right to get corporations to disassociate their brands from LGBTQ rights. To do this, trolls are planning to disrupt Pride month celebrations, which have become uniquely vulnerable this year because of coronavirus, with the vast majority taking place online. Commenting on smaller pages likes or so means anyone who views it will see the posts, and companies will reconsider their posts afterwards.

A portion of his research has involved studying online hate crime. I have to say that some of it is rather creative in its own sense. It was very similar to the [4chan] psy-ops [psychological operations] that happened in late December with respect to the black and Jewish communities, and trying to turn them against each other. To avoid people rumbling them using Google reverse image search, they are using a website called ThisPersonDoesNotExist , which uses AI to create unique, realistic-looking pictures of fake people.

The most efficient way to combat this, says Price, is to report the profiles as either fake or for using hate speech. The former will get faster results: social media platforms care more about fake profiles as they threaten their business model. Doing this will also train the algorithms to be better aware of accounts that match the same activity.

The strategy might appear simple — set up a bunch of fake accounts and demonise queer people in the comments section — but the psychology behind it is more complex. Instead of immediately going in full pelt, organisers plan a more insidious approach, which they hope will gradually turn the tide of opinion against queer people. As Pride month progresses, the trolls will gather on 4chan and organise an escalation of the frequency and intensity of the campaign.

How would they do that exactly? And in order to do that, the way they see it, is by gradually shifting the discussion. How did she feel when the tweet started gaining traction? As far as those involved in the Horse Meat Disco incident are concerned, this type of activity will have little effect.
