Stranger Things actress has apparently quit Twitter over faked homophobic memes

[BryBreadmin]

To explain, the meme started with some idiot claiming Millie Bobby Brown ripped her hijab off her head.

This, being so obviously ridiculous, started a joke of making really obviously fake stories/images about Millie Bobby Brown being homophobic or racist. Then it just spread way too far way too quickly.

I must admit i laughed at some of the images, because of the sheer absurdity of it.

However Twitter is hot garbage and promotes cancerous behaviour in general - I hope this doesn't affect her that much.

Maybe it's just me and I'm being a bit of a conspiracy theorist, but does this feel like some Russian psy op maneuver to divide people to anyone else?

[BryBreadmin]

No.

I have seen trolls and the alt-right using this strategy before to shutdown any account they wanted ( because fake news propagates like fire and no one even bother if there's a source ), but this is the first time I legitimely see LGBT people doing this to an innocent.

Still strange that it started as a series of jokes and degenerated into this.

didnt you know that when you're a victim nothing you do is wrong?

I thought naziswift was objectively funny, but this isn't really that funny.

these obscenely absurd memes only work when they are obscenely absurd, it's not impossible to believe that a celebrity is racist or homophobic.

Russians did not invent saying dumb shit.

[paramud]

No, but they have been pulling typical divide and conquer shit using social media. To give you an example, here's a post from a tumblr account that was confirmed to be a Russian agent.

If I were a celeb there's no way I'd be on social media.

What a bunch of fags.

I mean - it shitty, but I chuckle when I see the memes on my feed
