In the spring of 2020, right after lockdown, the divisive internet personality Trisha Paytas, who has about 5 million followers, made a viral video about DID, alternately lampooning the disorder and claiming to have it herself. Soon after, Kiwi Farms, a hateful, misogynistic forum where “lolcows” (or “crazies”) are “milked for laughs” and whose discussion pages frequently turn into organized trolling and doxxing, began to focus its attention on vloggers with DID. Kiwi Farms users delighted in dredging the internet for information about vloggers’ personal lives, and the trolls were tireless — the main discussion thread about DID YouTubers currently clocks in at 344 pages. Much of it was unilluminating, but Kiwi Farms posters dug up some offensive pornographic drawings that Wyn’s friend Team Piñata appeared to have drawn and posted on an old forum.
