Supernatural anon hate getting uglier than usual
I'm deeply skeptical about five suicides, but do believe that someone is targeting SPN fans:

impossiblefandoms.tumblr.com:

So basically what’s happening is that over the past few days an anon hate attack has been targeting certain blogs run by people who are depressed/anxious/suicidal etc. The anons first attacked the Supernatural fandom (queen-of-the-rising-demons is an example of this) we’ve already lost 5 people to suicide because of the attack as of today. In the early hours of today the group of anon haters started spreading and targeting other fandoms such as:

Doctor Who,
Sherlock,
Superwholock
Phandom,
Troyler fandom,
American Horror Story,
Hetalia,
Homestuck,
Attack on Titan,
Harry Potter,
and many more.

Now there’s rumour of a full on hate attack, on as many people as they can, regardless of mental conditions mentioned in previous posts. There’s rumours that this attack will happen on New Year’s Eve/New Year’s Day. Pleasepleaseplease spread the word and warn people to either; turn off their askboxes if they don’t want to be affected by the attack, or leave their askboxes open and prepare for the fact that they may be targeted.

We can survive this, fandoms are family, and family don’t end with blood.

And the best explanation I can find:

Starting some time around yesterday (yes, around Christmas, how terrible is that?), some anon (perhaps multiple? Can someone clarify?) started targeting blogs that are known to be suicidal/depressed/have a history of dealing with those issues with anon hate.
Many of these blogs come from within the supernatural fandom, which has even led to Mark and Misha commenting.
More importantly, though, this onslaught of anon hate has caused many blogs to feel unsafe and has even caused suicide attempts. This amazing post and this great post have listed some of the blogs that have been affected, although there are more.

Check out the tags affectedbyhate and supportfamily.

Some important news updates:

chesnutmisha is very, very much alive. Someone hacked her account and faked a post saying she was dead. Please stop reblogging that post; she’s worried the misinformation will persist.

shudup122334455 has been identified as an anon hater (he/she forgot to click anonymous). Please report this user to tumblr and flag them.
In a time like this, spread the love. Send a message to a couple blogs on your dash. Check the tags mentioned above to see which blogs need the support right now. Keep an eye out for updates. Stay strong, stay safe. #familydon’tendwithblood

and pastafox again:

4chan was another website whom some of their users don’t like tumblr users very much. A while ago, a 4chan user posted a fake warning from tumblr to 4chan, basically saying they would raid their blogs. (How, exactly, I’m not sure. To be honest, I only ever saw the screenshot. After what happened next I wouldn’t dare go on 4chan.). Unfortunately, some tumblr users saw this and thought it was real, so maybe like, ten people went over to 4chan and started spamming the boards there. Well, this was basically kicking the hornets nest and not long after, 4chan raided tumblr. It lasted two, maybe three days, and the majority of what they posted were gorey, pornographic, or otherwise disturbing images. As you may or may not know, many people on tumblr are highly sensitive to this material where as 4chan users apparently are not. They posted these pictures in the feminism and sjw tags as well as many fandom tags such as superwholock and attack on Titan. People on tumblr either went through the tags reporting people and reblogging things to help push the images out of the tags (that’s why I created this blog). Or if they just didn’t care they blamed everyone on tumblr for a post that 4chan made. Anyway, the raids have long since stopped and hopefully, it will stay that way.
I hope this helped ^^’

Guys. This is it. I went super duper undercover. Like I felt sick. Guys. Please spread this like wildfire. Everywhere. To your friends. To your enemies. Everyone. You can save many lives.

PROTECT JENSEN

okay, please, for the love of whatever the hell deity you believe in, whatever type of blog you have, reblog this. If this is true, all of tumblr could be at risk. We can’t afford to take this lightly- tumblr is too important to far too many people for this to be brushed aside.
Fake or not, this is nothing to joke about!! Please signal boost the fuck out of this right now. They are going to start attacking the actors of Supernatural, now. This. Cannot. Happen.

My friend knows someone who was already suicidal but got pushed over the edge by the anons. I can try and retrieve the URL for you if you want to check the validity.
