puppy boyfriend!

But the headline is a little misleading, as by "Investors" they really mean the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless, a NFP based in Denver that has been doing good things for decades.

The investment here is in people, not a profit-making pyramid scheme that rich assholes buy into then cash out later for $profit$.

Also, all of this happened in early 2020, as COVID terror was first stirring in the US. Good timing.

they tried to flood the popular tags with gore and porn. this was when Homestuck was at its peak, so they were a target too. (side note: tags barely functioned at all at this point so trying to make them useless was like throwing a molotov into an already burning building but try telling that to 4channers)

but the Homestuck fandom was ready and countered by flooding the tag with weirder, more explicit Homestuck porn and gore.

to the point that the trolls themselves got weirded out, fucked off, and never attempted a “raid” again.

for example, you could not look in the 'trans' tag for weeks at a time when the raids were at their worst. tags were dysfunctional at best, but they were still a way in which young users on the site tried to find community.

a world without trans people has never existed and never will
