I don't care if this post gets me silenced. I am simply covering the facts and speaking my mind. I stand up for what I believe in, even if I stand alone. ✌🏿
Recently, a disgusting and horrific incident took place on Twitter, and is probably one of the worst cases of cancel culture and cyberbullying in social media history.
A relatively popular anime YouTuber called "ChibiReviews" has been harassed and doxxed by a few individuals with connections to the Boruto fandom over a tweet he posted on the 5th of October, that said: "How do you think Twitter will react to this being animated?", accompanied with a manga panel from DanDanDan that shows the two main characters in a suggestive position before running off in embarrassment, classic ecchi style.
The quote-retweets eventually got filled with toxic users calling Chibi a pedophile and throwing death threats at him in their faux crusade of protecting fictional characters.
But oooooh boy, it doesn't end here.
The said Boruto fans doxxed Chibi by leaking his personal information, photos of his house, and even photos of his deceased brother's grave, while also mocking his death. The dox has since been removed as of writing this, but it is revealed that one of the doxxers has an alternate Twitter account where he also interacted with a fellow Boruto fan that slandered Chibi almost two years prior.
This is where the situation gets much, much worse.
Not only did ChibiReviews get harassed and doxxed, but an individual or group allegedly connected to soyjak(dot)party hacked into his old, inactive DeviantART account he hadn't used in a decade, shamelessly posting actual child sexual abuse material (CSAM) on it.
On Chibi's most recent tweet, the harassers and hacker(s) are trying to get his phone number and involve his other family members.
It's one thing to dislike a problematic trope or element in fiction, but the line is crossed when you accuse the enjoyer of being a real-life criminal and then try to ruin their life.
I mean, Jesus fucking Christ, people! We have people like smartschoolboy9 running wild in the streets of Britain, Palestinian kids being bombed by Israeli soldiers, and children being taken away from their minority parents by CPS in western countries under the belief that their parents are "abusive" by default, but drawings of cartoon characters are somehow where your attention is at? Cartoon characters with fake ages?
This world has gone mad. We have to destroy it from its core and then start over.
Chibi is currently pursuing legal action against these bullies, but this is still a frustrating situation.
