Post a Poll. Question Post. Posted by. Destiny 2. Help Forums. Is she? I found out about her last night, and I watched many vids of her and she doesn't seem like a troll. If she is then she's my queen. Comment Reply Start Topic. Post History Loading, please wait. This may take some time She was,high. Her username was moldyLunchboxx, but she was known by her nickname Boxxy.
To thank her friends who helped her on the game she made a couple of videos expressing her love for them in which she acted out her Boxxy character, wearing anime makeup and behaving in a particularly animated and goofy manner.
Catie left Gaia shortly after to pursue other interests, forgetting all about Boxxy and those two videos. They were just left online to gather dust, regular YouTube fodder. Fast forward to the end of the year. The idea was to make fun of her, as her spasmodic behavior seemed to suggest either a severe case of ADHD or some drug intake. Many commenters agreed that she was indeed annoying, with her emo make-up, affected voice, excessive energy, weird antics, head bobbing, arm flailing, incoherent ramblings and random jumping between subjects, and ridiculed her to no end.
But then, other comments started to appear, on both i-am-bored and 4Chan, and those comments were actually favorable. Very favorable. The girl was unbearably cute, her excitement was infectious, her hyper behavior was funny and her expressions of love were endearing. She was like this adorable little animal sniffing excitedly at the world around her, and somehow mesmerizing to watch.
People fell in love, seriously and madly. The two Boxxy videos went viral, but for the first time, viewers vehemently disagreed about the merits of a viral video. And they do mean anything. Since the posts are all made anonymously, people let their bad self go. This was maximum Boxxy, and the polarizing effect she had on 4Chan reached epic proportions. This was the beginning of what went down in history as the 4Chan civil war, the first Internet war.
The Internet took notice, and the Boxxy videos were spread by YouTubers, bloggers and through the social networks. To understand why they hated her so much, one needs to understand the nature of Anonymous. They saw the Internet as a place without ego, where everyone can be equals within a community, an alternative to the phony world based on appearances.
Most of all they hated attention whores, and when Boxxy generated all this attention they felt like she was destroying the Internet and making it a place for cam whores like her. Her details were eventually leaked, people called her at home, and there were multiple murder and rape threats. In one of the most famous cases of cyber-bullying, they terrorized a harmless and kindhearted year-old girl whose only sin was that she made people love her.
