If you're curious as to who and what 4Chan's /B board is, Slate's got a great explainer. For the record, this isn't not the first time that the highest tiers of Internet Trolls have tried to mess with Bieber's fan base. Late last year, an elaborate prank was mounted in order to convince the world that Bieber had cancer, thus getting his fans to shave their heads in support.[/quote] source: [url]http://www.complex.com/music/2013/01/cuttingforbieber-most-disturbing-hashtag-of-all-time[/url] [quote][b]On Monday, pranksters posing as Justin Bieber fans originated a sick online campaign that led #CutForBieber and #CuttingForBieber to trend on Twitter, circulating shocking images purporting to show fans with slashed wrists, blades and blood The supposed “fans” posted the upsetting images along with messages pleading with Bieber to stop smoking marijuana, as he appeared to be doing in photos released this past weekend.[/b] The barrage of gruesome (real and fabricated) pictures and tweets referencing self-harm as a method of “protesting” Bieber’s alleged drug use sparked sympathy, outrage and disgust. Observers rightly pointed out that fake photos diminish the real mental health and self-esteem issues related to cutting. Many Twitter users responded by posting “cutting for Bieber” pictures of themselves using scissors to cut paper. While the original #CutForBieber images seem to have been done as a sick joke by a prankster group, the “campaign” quickly took on a life of its own. Considering how serious the issue of self-harm is for millions of young people, this hoax is particularly disgusting. It’s just plain wrong to joke about wrist-cutting and self-abuse.[/quote] source: [url]http://www.gossipcop.com/cut-for-bieber-justin-fans-cutting-wrists-photos-twitter-pics-blood-marijuana/[/url] [img]http://sphotos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/406077_108966582612721_883518142_n.jpg[/img] [I]"Justin please, I beg you, stop smoking weed or I might actually kill myself"[/I] This is pretty new so I'm struggling to find a decent source, but it's all over the place.
jesus that photo
This is hilarious and sad at the same time.
ahahha
The cancer thing was kinda funny this is just wrong
First they're cutting their hair and now they're cutting their skin. This is escalating quickly :v:
It makes me depressed someone would take their own life because of a celebrity.
Okay, the shaved heads trend was good fun but this... I just don't know anymore.
M'kay.
Oh my GOD
oh god this is disturbing
This is going a bit beyond a "harmless joke" at this point.
I've had friends who cut and stuff, and I am not finding the funny in this.
4chan doing crazy shit doesn't disturb me. What does is the fans supporting it. Like, how exactly do you go and think "OMFG my love smokes weed I can't take it anymore, I'm gonna cut my wrists"?
It's only trending because so many people are being outraged by it, I don't think anyone actually fell for it
It was funny at first with the head shaving, but now I'm terrified.
They are actually hurting people. The question is: Did he actually smoke weed?
why what is the point of this
I'm sorry, but why do so many teenage girls lack critical thinking skills? Harming themselves for somebody WHO PROBABLY DOESN'T EVEN KNOW YOU EXIST?! I would think of this being just cruel, but ffs, why??? This damn digital age is like Darwin's fucking wet dream.
This is a very good live example of Darwin's "Survival of the Fittest" theory.
[QUOTE=rrunyan;39134835]They are actually hurting people. The question is: Did he actually smoke weed?[/QUOTE] apparently, some photos emerged the other week and he's admitted it's true [img]http://blog.zap2it.com/pop2it/justin-bieber-smoking-weed-blunt-tmz-3.jpg[/img]
I feel like people who do this really really want attention people who start this I mean
The girls who actually do it are fucking stupid, but this is still fucking disgusting.
I'm not sure if I should be sad for laughing at this. With that said I'm sure only those of inferior mental fortitude would take this seriously. [editline]Teenage Girls... Yeah, we might lose a few people. [/editline]Teenage Girls... Yeah, we might lose a few people.
If someone actually does this he/she is worth the fucking cuts.
