Hooray, another opinion thread on Anonymous with absolutely nothing new or relevant to bring to the table in terms of either information or discussion value. Thanks, OP, three per day just wasn't cutting it.

This is pretty old news. Nonetheless, the whole fiasco was pretty fucked up. They really laid into that poor girl.

Why is anarchy so unpredictable?

Ah anon. Crawling chaos. Guided by the logic and impulse of the many. People still crack me up when they announce their hate over you. Sometimes its just better to laugh off when someone is wrong on the internet.

...
Lets pretend that Anonymous controls the flow of memes. How far would that trail go?

Old news is old, but you are totally misinformed.

1. It's a Cracked article. I'm not going to willingly believe them right off the bat.

2. Knowyourmeme completely counters every single thing said in the article. Her video was apparently posted on 4Chan where she then caught /b/'s attention and then they trolled her for being a spoiled brat.

This is why there needs to be an internet age limit.

The Knowyourmeme research also shows that she was "something of a micro-celeb on StickyDrama, and had been posting questionable images and videos on her Myspace, YouTube, and other social networking profiles." Yeah... There are photos, apparently. I'll take their word for it.

So who am I to believe, researchers from across the web, most of whom probably don't even get paid for their work, or Cracked, and I don't know what Cracked does to get it's articles.

Calumon: But she done something with Goofy! D:
Calumon speaks the truth... oh and Jack too.

The more people you gather into a group. The lower the intelligence the group will display. Anonymous is no different.

I don't think this trolling even meant that like child porn. It's trolling. You don't gain anything from it. It's just to piss them off.

This too, she deserved it, pretty much end of story. That article is just full of crap.

Yet another thing which suggests people might be bad.. hmm, to be quite honest, its the interwebs, until I actually have to live in it I'm quite happy to leave it as the hell-hole that it is.. oh apart from this lovely grotto of happiness called the escapist.. mostly..

OT: anonymous, from what I know are a quite anarchistic group and praised by people for their work against unpopular people (e.g. politicians), so I don't see what need they have to terrorize people on the interwebs..
I'd tell them to keep a leash on their members but organized anarchy is a oxymoron so...

And its 4chan (to me it seems like channel 4 after 9pm but on the Internet..), I took one look at that site and its cheap plain white background, I hate websites like that.. its virtual, its free to make it look pretty, like this site does..

Yeah.... I saw those videos regarding that 11yo girl, and I think she didn't get enough shit from them honestly. That girl is already headed to be a (w)horrible person at such a young age, and her parents are stupid enough to support her and her actions (at least publicly). Death threats are not assassinations attempts, because anyone will throw them around casually (I'll kill you if you eat my sandwich, Etc, etc.). I'd be far more sympathetic if she had some genuine harm come to her or her family for putting her face out on the net, but she acted like a tard and got trolled hard for it. There are just somethings you don't do for certain audiences, and then there are things you don't do for any audience. That girls actions fell between both those lines.

I'm not defending anon so much as I just see where they were coming from. I don't have any respect or disrespect for anon, but I usually like 75% of their attacks because their targets usually have earned it in some way. I just wish they'd do more than DDoS attacks. That's so lame. I just wonder why they haven't gone all out on the Westborro church yet.

That's normal. anon is highly bipolar, but that's expected since anon isn't the same group of people every time it does something.

Don't get mad at everyone just because of a group of assholes, I guess.

i read something on "Cracked" about how Anonymous actually issued death threats to an 11 year-old girl just because she called people on 4chan losers for requesting she strip.

after reading this, i honestly will not support ANYTHING Anonymous does and i hope they all get arrested, tried, and convicted of child abuse and attempted murder.

if it were up to me, i would string them up by their ankles and cut off their hands so they could be left to bleed out. and i mean ALL of them. Anonymous is not a silent defender, they are a obviously a group of bullies who occasionally throw temper tantrums when something dare threatens their freedom to post child pornography...

it's the sixth one down.

First of all, duh. Second, anonymous isn't one specific group. The anons that threatened an 11 year old are most likely not the same anons that brought a pedophile to justice.

Jessi Slaughter? Did you perhaps miss the video she made saying she would "pop a glock in their mouth and make a brain slushie"? - she quite literally asked for it to happen to her

Granted telling a 14 year old to put up topless pictures is wrong but the fact is after hearing that she stayed on 4chan and baited the people involved.

So summarised anon is bad, the girl was too stupid for her own good (as was the father for the video response) and this news is ridiculously old

Should it be depressing that most the time you post, your avatar matches what you're saying?

Calumon: Why do I feel every one of those hits? >.<

Cracked is a humor website. Not a info site. Just as Landover Baptists Church, The Onion and Fox News... OH, SNAP!

They manipulated these stories for lulz. Also, this girl is not a victim, but a example of intentional troll bait - she wanted to get attention, so she have done everything so that /b/ (not Anon) would get interested in her. She made a video after the one with her father, where she explained how she trolled the trolls (and called herself queen, while we all know that Boxxy is queen of The Internets).

Imagine if you were invisible. What would you do? You wouldn't use your power for pure good, but you probably wouldn't be purely evil either. More likely you would be Neutral or Chaotic Neutral.

This is normal for /b/, actually. I'm unsurprised by this.
I second this notion.....

BTW, who remembers Dusty? Anon showed their good side then right?
No. Can you explain it?
