THIS IS FLASHING RED IMPORTANT

It’s all fake! All you’re doing is causing panic!

Think about it, please, I URGE you.

So you’ve heard 4chan were behind the anon attacks? FALSE. Remember last time they attacked Tumblr? If they did this, they’d be boasting. Their involvement is nothing but a rumour!

Everything. You. Read. On. Omegle. Is. False.

Again, THINK about it. Omegle as a plotting website? NOBODY would use that unless they were completely stupid. All the people you’ve spoken with there? Probably pulling a joke or from Tumblr themselves.

Let me repeat. NOTHING IS HAPPEN ON NEW YEARS. IT IS ALL A MADSIVE RUMOUR THAT GOT OUT OF HAND.

I beg everyone who reads this to reblog, or at least stop spreading false information. By spreading this information, it’s causing panic and making the mess bigger.

If you’re still concerned, disable your anons. Please.

Follow these steps to track the anon hate you receive. Once that is done, phone the local police. Explain what is happening, how you are feeling, tell them the tracking info, and answer the questions you are asked. Once that is done, log off of your computer and go get on your comfy pjs and become a blanket burrito. Sit down In front of the tv with a snack and/or teddy bear and watch your favourite shows and movies for the rest of the night because you did a good thing. Treat yourself. You deserve it.

Guys I need your help. They have a new plan, but I can’t see what they are posting. I need an “8chan premium account” and I don’t have the money for it. Could someone please reblog the info they are posting?

Update: You are all retarded. Yes, you. You who thought this was a legit post. You are a part of those over 500 people. You are all special little, retarded snowflakes. Congrats.

This includes all you edgy /b/ tards who thought this was a dumb tumblrina. 

Happy new year, fucktards.

list of fandoms and a small selection of the people that will be targeted, which i found on the 4chan thread.  

EDIT: Now with another list of possible targets, please stay safe everyone!

ANON HATE INFO/UPDATES (Based purely on what I have heard)

Firstly, Here is a list of fandoms being affect on New Year’s:

  • Troyler (Troye Sivan and Tyler Oakley ship fandom)
  • Supernatural
  • Doctor who
  • Sherlock
  • The Phandom (Dan and Phil)
  • AHS (American Horror Story)
  • Hetalia
  • Attack on Titan
  • Homestuck ( I think that is what it’s called)
  • Harry Potter
  • My Little Pony
  • Adventure Time
  • The Regular show
  • Pokemon
  • Bandoms (Band Fandoms)

They will also be sending anon hate to triggering tags such as #selfharm or #anorexia (etc.)

Anons plan to hack: (possibly, may not be true. This is purely based off of other posts and blogs) 

  • Dan Howell (Also being Targeted with hate)
  • Misha Collins
  • Jensen Ackles

I will always be open to talk if you need me. Do not hesitate. I know how hate feels, and now it’s my turn to help just like people did when I was struggling.

Apparently Vince (The guy in charge) has fled. (Rumors have it that he was also arrested? )

Please add to any more information if you have any. 

Please DO NOT make anymore lists of those needing help or whom are struggling. It only allows them to be targeted more. Continue showering those who are struggling with love. 

Avoid: omegle, 4chan, and 8chan. 

People plan on attacking with anon hate New Years Eve, and New Years Day. I suggest logging out of tumblr or turning off anon and going and watching the Troye/Tyler live stream or spending time with your family. 

Remember that you are loved. Don’t end things now, this is simply another chapter. Turn the page, but don’t close the book. I love you.


System 32 is a vital part of your operating system and without it your computer will not work at all. I’ve already seen a post debunking this hoax but it’s doing the crossed-out words thing with the debunking all the way at the bottom and by the time you read that far, it might be too late. (I know I do things impulsively in response to scary things like this….)

Tumblr Supernatural Fandom Pseuicides: A Grumpy Summary

rachelmanija asked me for an explanation of the pseuicide situation. I’ve seen a lot of people on Tumblr who are also confused, so I’m posting an edited version of my response to her.

(Note that I wrote this around midnight on New Years - a good way to celebrate! - and some of the credulity has died down since then.)

So. A bunch of Tumblr users recently pretended to attempt suicide due to “anonymous hate.” They then either “miraculously recovered” or revealed that their “account was hacked.” People affected by this plague of undeath:

* cwinchester2000

* kingfrerin/Anthea/bvnner

* d—e—s—t—i—e—l

* randomawkwardawesome

* queen-of-the-rising-demons

* paintedcastiel/insecurecharlie

* simormonroe + wearejustalike

* whiskeyjensen

* chesnutmisha

* spnpie1967/anonxdlol (1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Other sources: 6, 7)

* mopeters1954

* rainbowcas (didn’t go through with the “death,” but has the funniest implausible narrative and was clearly the inspiration for some of the others)

* someone who plagiarized Leelah Alcorn’s suicide note in an apparent attempt to equate the “harassment of fandom” to transmisogyny, which I’m not linking because it crosses a line for me.

These are all members of the Supernatural fandom. What we’re seeing here is basically a case of mass hysteria caused by a cascade of people

1) faking anonymous hate mail against themselves, generally mentioning personal vulnerabilities and urging them to commit suicide in very specific ways,

2) after responding to their enemies for a while to build up the tension, faking suicide due to their intense distress over the anonymous hate,

3) successfully acquiring the attention and followers they wanted during this period and the necessary hospital drama narrated by a nonexistent person,

4) miraculously being resuscitated and/or claiming to have been “hacked” by bad guys, and

5) thus inspiring others to imitate the project.

Because people actually are buying the hacker story. It’s a Christmas miracle.

Most of the “anonymous hate” is very, very obviously from the people to whom it was addressed. Or, it should be obvious! But a lot of the SPN fandom on Tumblr doesn’t recognize these tactics! They’re too young and are disengaged with the fandom lore, or else they’re getting it from Andy fucking Blake of all people. (He’s trying to “reach out” to the kids who committed pseuicide right now.)

IMPORTANT: SIGNAL BOOST THIS!

Okay, I was gonna run a normal blog today, but seeing as people are still being fooled I feel like I cannot do that.

So I am very sure the attack started on tumblr. Some people have been caught faking for attention causing other to panic. So the anons weren’t fake, people were mimicking others. Because tumblr LOVES sending anon hate (it has always been a problem, not just now). Tumblr isn’t all “fine and dandy”, some people might argue, but please, do not make tumblr out to be a perfect place, because it is not. This was horrible for a lot of innocent bystanders who believed people actually were getting attacked, and I feel bad for them all for having to be pulled into this. 

No one died either, (if I’m wrong tell me so). 

But along the way tumblr started blaming 4chan for the hate, and that’s when 4chan realized “OH GOSH LOOK WHAT THEY ARE DOING WE’RE GONNA BE A PART OF THAT!”, and they have been following the #affectedbyhate tag on tumblr for lulz, to see what they could do to provoke tumblr. (Yes some anon hate was probably sent by them as well, but they were not alone, tumblr was the main source of that).

Anyway, TUMBLR, was fighting against the anon hate by sending love to people. We made support groups on Tinychat (I was a part of this room), but as soon as the link was put into the tumblr tag, Channers raided. These Channers were just trolls, because all they ever could talk about was Allahu Akbar, Sonic and Hitler, so they were just messing around for the lulz, to stir up some drama on tumblr. We were driven off Tinychat, and I’ve been keeping an eye on the chat ever since under a false alias.

Then Tumblr started using Omegle. Yes Tumblr was in fact the first people to use Omegle in this. Tumblr promoted #affectedbyhate to be the Go-to-tag on Omegle if you needed someone to talk to or needed help. Do you not think the trolls saw this? (And I am saying trolls, because by then a lot of different people had joined in to troll tumblr, there wasn’t just channers, there were both 9gaggers and redditors among the people trying to troll tumblr, because we were making ourself quite an easy target. 

So people started encountering “trolls” that were telling people how worthless they were on Omegle, and of course tumblr acted and went around to look for these horrible trolls. 

I am not sure how or when it happened, but all of a sudden Tumblr were convinced Channers were using Omegle to give out information about the “raid”. (And posting about it in the tag so every troll saw it). People started acting like “spies” while the trolls knew (because everything was shared in the tag everyone was watching at that point, tumblr users could see it, channers could see it, everyone who wanted could see it). So do you not believe the trolls KNEW tumblr was playing “spy”? Yes they did. They are not stupid, they knew exactly what to do to cause panic and hysteria on tumblr. 

They started “leaking” information, so that tumblr would flip over whatever was “leaked” from them, and tumblr ate it whole and raw for them to laugh at in private. 

(I’m just going to say that no “hackers” would use Omegle to give out information, they were talking about “emails” in the chats, but why not send information over email instead of omegle? Think about that. AND they would in fact be using proxy servers, hidden forums and IRC to communicate. Nothing publicly, unless they wanted tumblr to see.)

From this, we gained a lot of “scare-propaganda”. 

They were gonna Hack Jensen, they were gonna cause a blood bath, they were gonna do the 4chan thing, spam gore in the tags, they were gonna DDos <- The last which some poor people believed would take tumblr down forever, but that is a misunderstanding because it only takes tumblr down for a couple of hours at most.

All information gained over omegle is and was false and then they started pointing out blogs to harass, so it wouldn’t die down, as believe it, the trolls were getting bored. So lists were given out so we would “SPAM” our own people. They weren’t planning to attack anyone who they “leaked”, but if anyone where it was just collateral damage in this big mess, but they didn’t care of course, it’s for the lulz after all.

I am 100% sure there isn’t going to be any “attack”, the most they will do is spam gore, and that isn’t so bad if you think about all the other things they COULD have done. 

Right now most of the trolls have gotten bored, and has gone to actually post gore around, but that’s again fear-propaganda, it’s to keep us scared. Most of us seem to have awakened and realized this is just a load of crap, but some are still “spying” and making blogs uncomfortable. 

If you are a SPY and is posting who is going to be targeted on tumblr in the tag, you are just as bad as the trolls. You are actually giving people who still want this go continue a name to harass. YOU ARE A PROBLEM. 

Keep the damned name for yourself and pay attention to their blog, maybe write them a message “How are you doing?” do not tell anyone they are targets. DOING THAT MAKES YOU A HORRIBLE PERSON CAUSING PANIC. 

All I ask is for people to forget about Omegle, start running normal blogs, ignore that there ever was an attack, and support people who need it. If you are getting hate or is scared about it, TURN OFF YOUR ASK BOX, because it is not that hard. I’ve been told many times “it’s not that easy to turn off the ask box”, but my reply to that is “Is an ask more important than a life, TURN OFF YOUR ASK," 

THIS WAR IS OVER, AND WE HAVE ALREADY LOST. 

IT’S A TULPA. 

This entire situation, I mean. It only exists because we made it exist. Hasn’t anyone else noticed that there are more “warning” and “support” posts than there is actual problems? The main problem remaining is us.

So about the tulpa thing. For those of you who aren’t Supernatural fans, I’ll give you the basics. They’re creatures (or objects) that came into existence simply because enough people believe that it exists. 

Of course, there’s more to the lore than that, but that’s all you need to know here. Because that’s what this whole situation is. (You should watch/re-watch Supernatural season 1 episode 17, it’s incredibly relevant right now.)

So, this situation only exists because we believed it did. A couple people faked hate, even suicides (a couple are even 100% confirmed to be fake) which got the attention of everyone on tumblr, which inspired people to send real hate, which got more attention, which made us panic, which got the attention of people who think it’s fun to make us panic, who cause more panic, which gets more attention. It’s a cycle. 

So now, the important question:

The answer? By changing what we believe. 

I’m not saying hang everyone out to dry. You can still send supportive and encouraging messages to people. But do it quietly. The more fuss you make, the more fuss you cause. I know we’re all trying to help, but we’ve done enough damage already. 

Here’s a quick reference list on what we should and shouldn’t do:

DON’T

  • Pretend you’re getting hate. I can’t stress this enough. If you’re down and you need attention, there are less harmful ways to ask for it. Ways that don’t drive others to anxiety and depression. REMEMBER, you don’t need to be dying for the SPN Family to care about you.
  • Think of this is some big conspiracy or a war. It’s just an illusion that we created ourselves.
  • Post omegle chats about victims on tumblr. And don’t warn people that they’re “targets”. Actually, don’t go on Omegle at all anymore, not for this at least.
  • Call out or try to attract hater anons.
  • Post about how freaked out you are.
  • Don’t even post about how upset you are if you are getting hate. Talk to a friend about it or something, privately.
  • Key word, privately.Stop making a public deal out of this.

DO

  • CALM DOWN. Panic is the main problem here. Not hate.
  • Turn off anon. Even if you aren’t getting messages. There may not have been haters to start with, but there may be some now. So save yourself the trouble.
  • Ignore any hate asks you may get. (Chances are you won’t get any, but just in case. Don’t answer.)
  • Contact someone if you need help/comfort. Even if you just pick a bunch of SPN blogs at random, if nothing else this stupidity has proven how much of a family we all are.
  • If you’re really worried about hacking (which is actually much more difficult and less common than y'all seem to think) turn on two-factor authentication in your account settings.

TL;DR? The problem is a tulpa, we’re all to blame.
