A gimmick account can appear in many forms, either by pretending to be a character from a piece of media, posting about a specific subject (Ex. Halo facts), etc. Gimmicks can be pretty annoying to some people, hell Null made it a rule in 2014 to not be one.
But they all must follow the unwritten rule: stick to your gimmick... or atleast try to. Enter the Twitter gimmick account 'community'.
So let's start off with what attention whores do best.
Unnecessary soapboxes
With BLM being the newest trend it was inevitable that gimmicks would jump on the band wagon.
This article shows the big accounts that participated (archive.md/I4WGN)

Infact there are so many gimmick accounts bringing up politics that an entire gimmick account was made just for that @GimmickAccsBAP (archive.ph/wip/dTex6)
This good short video by 'Stickman Joe' talks about gimmicks during the capitol riots and Trumps ban
(Original Vid)
As shown in the video and documented by @GimmickAccBAP, @MetalGear_OOC (archive.ph/MfdaL) had a full blown mental breakdown about BLM, Trump, capitol riots, anime avatars, pronouns, nazis / white supremacy, small dicks, and anything else really for 4 hours

Even if you agree with the politics this is still annoying and OneyNG perfectly explains why.

Okay but first lets play a guessing game, what does the owner of the account @PigsPostingLs (archive.ph/dTY7s) look like, and what are they e-begging for?
Were you even surprised this was the person running it?
@Womenpostingws (archive.ph/k2mVA) making a twitter idea a subscription service

Of course just like horse shoe theory two opposites are the same, so it's only natural that @WomenpostingLs (archive.ph/orV69) has to shill by promoting his atrocious podcast.

Another easy way of making money from the success of the gimmick is to like or retweet an OnlyFans promotion after getting paid by an e-girl. Examples from @UnLimiTed-Lbs.
Twitter users 'took action' to this by making a reaction image

2 people is pretty pathetic to brag about especially since they can just ask @WomenPostingLs how many people they blocked
(https://twitter.com/search?q=Women posting L blocked&src=typed_query&f=live)
As well as blocking, gimmicks can fortunately private their accounts in order to hide from the evil transphobes.

Going private to own the libs

When all of this happens followers start to get pissed off, which leads to the gimmicks coping.


@CommentaryLs (archive.ph/MZRWD) had a mental breakdown after getting backlash for a tweet.

(The person in the bottom right 'CordWit' is the main one to follow throughout this. For some context, him and John Swan (another commentary youtuber) were going to make a video on Dream. But John Swan ended up being cancelled for impersonating Dream and trolling a kid.)
Someone replies to them (now deleted) presumingly asking why is CordWit in the pic. Commentary Ls responds with

CorWit replies to the original tweet and Commentary says

Commentary then starts to reply to quote tweets

Then they completley lose it
Obviously once you make it big and do something that makes you look retarded you have to flex that you have two jobs just like @MomentsTweetor (archive.ph/nREC8)

Also don't know where to put these at but this is from @EGirlsPostingLs (archive.ph/ljmgF)
Two of the admins are arrested / under police investegation for fedposting

They had allowed an e-girl to run the account, and she got removed within two days, drama ensues




The other admin running the account had let her join

Thanks to some info provided by @I've Seen Some Shit, it turns out the e-girl is a drama starter, and had also been using the gimmick account to send some guy her nudes

E-begging, and shilling
Of course a community couldn't be complete without these people.Okay but first lets play a guessing game, what does the owner of the account @PigsPostingLs (archive.ph/dTY7s) look like, and what are they e-begging for?

Blocks, stress, unfollowing, and private accounts
With Twitter being a huge safe space the block feature is used extensively, hell it gave @RTDSAT (archive.ph/jFdnr) a power trip

Don't know where else to put this but the accounts @downbadpatrol (archive.ph/D3ojV) and @lyricshitposts (archive.ph/31FuI) were both being operated by a company to experiment the success of these accounts

And this is allegedley the e-girls roomI've Seen Some Shit said:I think this is the first thread on Kiwifarms I've seen mention Lori - that e-girl who ran E-Girls Posting Ls for two days. For those unaware, she was a content leech on Twitter best known for repeatedly trying to harass video game composer Hideki Naganuma and selling pictures of her saggy, fat tits on Twitter. She also tried to have her cake and eat it by endorsing minors to follow her on Twitter despite posting softcore pornography of herself frequently and saying it's okay for them to do it so long as they "scroll past" her pornographic tweets (I apologize for the archive being of Google's cached version of the tweet, her Twitter was suspended).
As a contribution to the thread, here's her sending a picture of her tits to someone who didn't know her and used to interact with another former mod of the account before Lori decided to stalk DMs and likely look at very personal messages.
She's not really enough of a lolcow to warrant her own thread (or at least, so much of her thread-worthy material is lost either due to account suspension or her deleting her own things), but if you wanted a rabbit hole to go down, you can look up her typical usernames of "syrupfreak" and "catgirlboobies" and find some gems of her nonsense from her remaining social media, what little of it's survived, including some of the saddest nudes you'll ever see.
Edit: I've discovered her current twitter handle is @sephirothsbimbo and is apparently amidst some drama relating to her falsely(?) accusing someone of grooming another person. Most of her tweets on the topic are gone so I can't figure out the whole story, but it might prove an interesting read. Islamic content warning, of course. She got fatter and uglier, but that isn't stopping her from posting provocative images that'd only entice the most depraved of creatures. And apparently pictures of her bloodied underwear.
