We've got some more Lovely bullshit happening, but this one's a FUCKING doozy, and may in fact end up impacting us in this thread so listen up.
(Also apologies for no screenshots, those will be coming shortly. Also archivers aren't working at all so bear with me.)
A couple of days ago, one of the most critical people on the subreddit, r/GameGrumps, was stalked and harassed off of the Main Sub and posted on Rant after avoiding the place for so long. He's a name some of the more keen on main may recognize: u/Geno098. He's a fairly okay guy, usually very chill in threads, but one of the people who've talked in some threads about some dumb bullshit the Grumps are doing.
But one day, he did something that the Lovelies just couldn't abide by: he said that the latest Grumps thumbnail had
spoilers for Danganronpa in it.
Now obviously this besmirching of the Grumps' good name, nay, his heresy could not stand by unabated. So several of the users dogpiled on him, with the mods removing only talks of brigading from Rant and...not much else.

Then a user, u/machiavelli33, was dismayed by this madness, so he give Geno and ultimatum: "You've been causing yourself quite some trouble here, t'would be a shame if someone knew what you'd truly done" (I'm only paraphrasing half of that) and proceeded to reveal that he'd been following and cataloging Geno's every move over the past 2-3 years - and bear in mind, Geno's NEVER spoken to this guy - which proceeded to freak him the fuck out. Another user named porygonz0 proceeded to pretty much play henchmen with him and gaslight the absolute fuck out of him.
He then made the post on Main and that should be where the story ends.
However, in that same thread, another user, haidotcom, decided to offer his perspective on the issue explaining that the reason for that catalog was
probably because Geno's name had been put on a list in a "private" Discord server (I say "private" because it's literaly gained access to by going to the Main Sub's Discord Server, saying a secret passcode, and then they'll give you the link to it). Said Discord server has links to over
8,000+ users who have criticized the Grumps, past and present.
According to the posts in the threads, this group has existed for years and seem relatively harmless as other people have told this one guy to not leak it, but the fact that someone went through all that effort is astonishing. Also bear in mind that the poster in his question is around his early 20's. This is important because the members of said server and the people who wrote down all of this information are
25+ years old/in their 30's. These are not children doing this.
That means you, yes, you: the Kiwis in this thread are probably on that list as well, alongside a whole shitload of information locked away in some dumbass ultra-Lovely Discord server that they autistically scoured through (such as the e-mails from the big leak). Same with everyone who's made a video on them, same with everybody who's active on RantGrumps. And thus, RantGrumps people have started brigading Main and retaliating, something with Geno is extremely against on principle, to finally say "Enough is enough, stop being pieces of shit and collecting info to RP doxing people". The Lovely Autism Holy War has begun, so pull up a chair and enjoy the fireworks.
