Ok, so Lion-Against-SJWs got doxed, and there's ongoing tumblr drama over that, but the relevant bit is the person who sent them this ask (Lion's changed their name)

So do these people stalk their followers and keep obsessive track of who follows and unfollows? What if a bunch of people follow en masse will they have a meltdown?
Oh my yes. If someone follows and they don't like them, and they really want attention, they find every negative thing they can about the person for a callout post. If they lose a ton of followers at once they make a post like "a ton of ppl have unfollowing me lately and i don't know why and it makes me sad T.T reblog so i can get some back pls! <3 (read my byf)" hoping what ever followers they have left will reblog it and their followers will follow them. If the they don't get enough followers they blow up again and the cycle repeats.
 
The most bizarre BYF I've seen in a while

This is from the person who is kin with deadmau5 and even claims to have some memories of being him in a previous life

Maybe he thinks M.I.A. is his waifu and is jealous.
 
I know it's been said but I love the ones that delude themselves into believing they are a cartoon character written by someone else and are edgy-aggressive toward anyone who is a "fake" of them. They always have the best BYFs.

Now before I show y'all the page, here's where I found it.

yeah, before you ask, it's from a Pokemon fansite
They used to have a link to their tumblr, and this was literally the first thing that popped up.

What does "nt" mean? Is it like Windows NT? : P
(edit: Oh, neurotypical. Ooooof course.)

Neurotypical.

What they think it means: Someone without mental illness and/or a developmental disorder e.g autism. You have to ask before following to protect the blog owners' personal comfort and sense of safety.

What it actually means: Someone that hasn't ranked up enough in the cult to self-diagnose with one of the above. You have to ask before following so the blog owner can filter out people that might disagree with his/her identity politics.

Interesting to see the ace-critical stuff on there, as well as the "monosexual" and "allosexual" hate.

What the fuck is "gold-star lesbianism?"
 
the "don't follow me if you're the same kintype" reminds me of that thing that I don't understand, that gets made fun of/portrayed in movies/TV but which I've NEVER seen or encountered IRL, where women allegedly get mad at other women if they show up at a party wearing the same exact outfit. I don't even know if that's a real thing or if it is, why it's a thing.

Maybe it's because I've played too much Bloodborne recently, but I can't help but laugh whenever someone says they are kin with something.

For those who don't play Bloodborne, kin are basically giant aliens with a mindset different than our own.

They look like this

God dammit now I'll always think of Windows NT as "windows neurotypical" :P :P :P
 
Responding to the OP, they're fucking retarded. Not only are you incapable of exposing yourself to alternative opinions regarding matters where one sidedness is strongly ridiculous, but it's just fucking pathetic thinking that internet users actually will abide by your silly "Rules for Following". Nah bitch, *hate follow*.
 
I've followed blogs with a BYF to see if they'd come at me, but they don't seem to pay attention to that.

They don't. They believe that if you clicked the +follow, you're being TRUE and HONEST and adhering to their rules and regulations. Clearly these mile long terms and conditions are some sort of magical ward against the unwanted. What they mostly care about is that precious, precious follower count. You're just adding a +1 to their numbers. Wouldn't be surprised if the only time they confront you is if/when you UNfollow. Especially if you do so without telling them why. Because this seems to send people into a spontaneous shitfit.
