As a blogger, I am always keeping tracks on
my stats, referring URLs, and keywords so I can always track what is going on
with my blog, what topics my readers enjoy and what are not really as popular.
While finishing up my most recent post on Keziah Connections Event, I noticed
that my overall blog stats had jumped by about 1000 views in 3 hours and (unfortunately)
this is not really normal. A quick scan of my keywords and referring URLs
showed up a lot of traffic from Reddit.com, which I found very odd as I have
never used Reddit and I don’t even have an account on their site.
Roughly 5/7 hours ago, a troll stole a
picture I posted 2 weeks ago on a fake injury makeup shoot I did on an actor called
Kassidy Chaplin and led people to believe that he was a black man who had been beaten
and mugged by young black teenagers and he was having an identity crisis and
considering becoming racist towards people of his own race (Click here for the reddit link)
At first, I thought this was HILARIOUS as
while I am proud of my work and I knew that the fake black eye, swelling and bruising
was good . . . but DAMN, I didn’t think it was THAT good!! Anyway, I started
scrolling through the 300+ comments on Reddit and I quickly became horrified on
what the troll was doing with a piece of my work. He (I’m assuming it’s a he)
was literally creating a racial fire and conning people into sending him free
clothes as his clothes were ‘allegedly’ destroyed by the black teenagers who
beat him up.
I’m just horrified!!!
People, good Samaritans, were giving him
emails and worse still were sharing their stories of when a similar experience
happen to them, trying to counsel this sick, twisted b*****d
I am so upset and disgusted that someone
would use my work in this way but whoever discovered this troll and exposed his
con.
A BIG THANK YOU FROM ME!!!!
