I don't trust any screenshot coming out of Kiwifarms since I've seen an edited screenshot tweeted with 10 thousand likes from a (now suspended) popular KF user.

You could only see it if you know what to look out for, there was a masking error on the overlayed image in one corner. And the tweet's text was most likely edited with dev tools.

  • Ok, well these things were posted publically on Twitter so there will be many first hand accounts and possibly backups from trusted 3rd parties. Shouldn't be that hard to figure out. I have personally seen some of these tweets as I watch Destiny from time to time and she comes up.

  • I only briefly flicked through screenshots, but seems parent comment has some truth to it:

    Maybe it's possible to game archive.ph, but seems more likely this person's humor has a consistent strongly misogynistic theme. Very happy to see a site causing actual suicides taken down, but the champion of the campaign doesn't come across as any kind of hero

    It's also interesting to juxtapose comments here against the fact it was so easy to find the original thread on Google.

Maybe the Wikipedia page says nothing about the accusations against her because the accusations aren't credible.

  • I do a lot of diligence before I believe anything. I have also seen this person doing targeted harassment with my own eyes on twitter. I am often skeptical of claims that wikipedia is obscuring information, and while this is a small creator, it is spooky to me.

Opinions about whether or not the victim deserves it don't seem relevant.

  • That's not what I'm saying. I don't think anyone deserves any kind of violence or harassment. If they are engaging in such, vigilante justice is not the answer.
