At least eleven schools or school districts that were targeted by the account “Libs of TikTok” over anti-LGBTQ grooming conspiracies last month received bomb threats just days later.

    LOTT has never swatted anyone. you can't be responsible for everything people who follow you do. nicki minaj fans swat people who diss their idol all the time, yet no one blames her.

      Minaj fans are also mostly children and teenagers. They have no sense of proportional response when upset by something.

      It is still however wrong when fans of something swat people, and yes; Nicki Minaj should be held accountable if it happens more than once.

      Swatting someone is wrong in general, I don't care how evil or wrong you think a person online is. This also goes for doxxing as well as threats or other forms of harassment.

        Uhh that is not the case a lot of the time. A lot of them are adult women, and it has happened more than once.

        I don’t care how evil or wrong you think a person online is. This also goes for doxxing as well as threats or other forms of harassment.

        Did you think it was wrong when Libs of tiktok got doxed?
