4chan drama happens again! This time it's all focused around an 11 year old girl named Jessi Slaughter, who posted a Youtube video a while ago that went viral. Her account is gone now due to "violation of terms of use" (or something), but I'm pretty sure you can find it online anyway through various repostings and such. Anyway, she pretty much threw some pretty crazy insults at the internet, including the time honored "Get AIDS and die".
Original video:
4chan reacted pretty damn hard to that, and started doing their thing - ordering tons of pizzas to her home, prank calls, e-mails, etc, etc. Soon after, she posted another video:
And then the media started picking up the story... First up was Gawker, with this post.
In response, 4chan launched a DDoS attack against Gawker's site, and although it failed the first day, they were able to slow down the site on the second day (it's fine now I think).
The guy who wrote the original post about the 4chan harassment wrote a rather snide post bashing 4chan's failure, which you can find here.
4chan has thus shifted gears, and is now attacking the top brass of the Gawker news crew, with spam e-mails and the like. Gawker's reaction is here.
Just this morning, Good Morning America ran a story on this, and... well... you know 4chan. They're at it again. They got ahold of the information of the person who did the story, Parry Aftab, and they're currently running a DDoS attack on her website: www.aftab.com/ (unreachable right now if you're wondering).
The thread with Perry Aftab's personal information is already maxed out though, so I'm sorry you can't find it anymore .
Oh 4chan drama~ Always being explosive for a day then dying off again...
WATCH HER VIDEO ADRESSED TO HER HATERS THAT WAS POSTED BEFORE THE ONE OF HER CRYING BEFORE YOU MAKE JUDGEMENT. I FELT BAD AT FIRST TOO BUT THEN HER HATERZ VIDEO MADE ME RAAAAAAGE.
I was in the original "you rage you lose" thread that started this whole mess, it was pretty lulzy. Also she was on stickam on the 20th and said "I'll take any fame I can get". This is a case of bad parenting if anything!
I dont get it. WHY do they do this? And how? Is it like some global overmindish collective where whenever someone says something they don't like they attack the offender. I mean, this is an 11 YEAR OLD GIRL! How does a place like 4chan even exist. -.-.
FFS, you cant blame the parents... If I punch a kid that´s walking in my way that´s not her own fault or her parents fault for not educating her not to walk in my way, it´s my fault for punching her. -..-
EDIT2: I think it's sad that the parents are blaming the media. It's their own damned fault for not parenting their daughter right.
ml: As a mother, what have you learned from all of this?
DL: I am still trying to take this all in. I can't believe this is happening. My daughter is an only child -- she was our miracle child, because I had cervical cancer and was told I couldn't have children. Then, on two years to the date of my recovery, I wasn't feeling well and found out I was pregnant. I can't be in the same room with her 24/7 and I am trying to explain to her what's going on. It's been very difficult because I don't understand what's going on -- I don't even know what these videos show and I don't want to view them. I am upset enough. I have been throwing up and I haven't been able to eat or sleep since this all started last week.
