Trolling gone out of control~ Case 1: Plastic Bieber

Today we do a psychological case overview of another infamous troll: @PlasticBieber 

Who's Plastic Bieber?

Hey everyone, sorry I haven't posted in awhile. But today wanted to post on my blog about a certain troll the internet is exploding about, who's only known by the name of Plastic Bieber. Plastic Bieber is a person on twitter who posts the most vilest tweets I have seen in awhile. I only discovered this unfortunate creature when going onto facebook. Being a 19 year old male, you will find I am not a fan of Justin Bieber or One Direction and yet I do not hate them as other people do. They have talent and I like two of Justin Bieber's songs due to them being catchy. (Catchy songs are my weakness, including Friday by Rebecca Black, Swagger Jagger by Cher  ) You get the picture. I just prefer other artists such as Rihanna and Jay-Z etc but anyway back to Plastic Bieber. So I only discovered this person via a meme on facebook, apparently she's been doing this for quite some time. 

How did you find out about this troll, I mean person :O

I was on facebook and I came across a meme, it was a rather disturbing meme..
After seeing this, I googled to check if this was some kind of  horrible joke
No such luck alas. It turns out this PlasticBieber is as real as a duck. And the worst thing is her or his twitter account is still working. Twitter has not blocked this bot (I say bot because a normal human being would have something called empathy?) and the level of harassment and pure vulgarity in her tweets makes me stumped at how she hasn't been deactivated by twitter.

Aren't you overeacting? XD

Here are some of the tweets that Plastic Bieber has posted that made my skin crawl and go >.<.
"Retweet if you're tired of gay, black, handicapped, fat, Muslim, and people taking up all your air"
(Surprisingly 108 retweets :/ Very worrying)
"One time I was dreaming Justin was raping me and it was so hot but my dumb bitch of a mother woke me up in the middle of it for school ugh"
And the list goes on, some are silly, childish, others raise an eyebrow and some go too far.

 Now let's pretend this poor misguided creature has posted this in a troubled past and has now turned a new leaf. Well today is 8th August 2012 as I'm writing this, underneath is a screenshot of her profile and we shall see how she's doing today.
Some people post once a month, some a couple days, and some every second. Unfortunately, this person posts ever few hours...
Well, the trolling just continues alas. You can clearly see an inspiration for the tweets in the photos section, with Regina Johnson from Mean Girls. That explains a lot me thinks. A wannabe Plastic? Maybe she's role playing Regina Johnson? And one of her tweets quotes the film, even the name is a dead giveaway. Plastic? Ringing bells.

Why would you think twitter would deactivate her/him? Free speech, its also Twitter, people say what they wanna say.

I say this because recently on the news there were articles making headlines about twitter accounts being suspended due to Olympics controversy. I'm talking about that scandal that involved the man throwing abuse towards Tom Daley after he failed to secure the gold medal for Great Britain in diving or the journalist who posted a public email address of an NBC executive to complain about their covering of the Olympics which caused suspension of the account due to violation of 'privacy' even though the email address is clearly shown on the NBC website for contact details.
If all this fuss is made about twitter cyberbullying and suspension of accounts for violation of posting public email addresses because it revolves around the Olympics, then surely something should be done about this person.

And yet, we still have this horrible, horrible person on twitter.

It's just a troll, get over it.

I honestly do believe this is a troll, no question about it. But I still don't think they should have a twitter account. Trolling is the internet slang/ word for people doing something, saying something outrageous that people think is genuine, but the joke is on them because they are just pretending. I don't mind trolling when it revolves around harmless fun and makes funny memes and puts a smile on people's faces at the end of the day. There is good trolling which I classify as no harm intended and then there's bad trolling, one deliberately intended to provoke people in a horrible way, say the most terrible, controversial things like that infamous girl (who has now deleted her youtube account) posted a video talking about Lady gaga's single Judas being evil.
  Another troll: This girl hated the single Judas by Lady Gaga. Sadly, I couldn't get her name because she took down her youtube video. 8 million views the video received and she was trolling like a cheshire cat who's frowning on monkey juice. 

It's an eleven year old called Jessica

Okay first things first. We have no idea, who this person is. Every photo you see posted by them could be a lie. For all we know, Plastic Bieber could be a 40 year old man, or a 17 year old boy or heck a computer bot. If it is an eleven year old girl, that really concerns me for a lot of reasons.
Girls that age using twitter at such a young age and posting tweets talking about sex, rape, abortion, profanity and verbal abuse and so forth makes me raise an eyebrow. I honestly think it is someone a lot older than they say they are who knows exactly what they are saying and doing. 
Eleven year old girls the last time I checked, (I have four younger sisters), are busy playing games, being creative on art projects, reading books, seeing friends, having fun doing kids things. Unless I'm really being behind the times and the age eleven is the new seventeen in which its now the new trend to start sexting as this person has claimed. 
If it is an eleven year old girl. Someone needs to tell her parent, ban laptop use, give her some discipline and possibly a shrink. Nuff said.

To those wishing to take her down

If you want to take down Plastic Bieber in the most kindest way possible. Ignore her. People like these are all over Twitter and its quite simple what they desire. Attention. Even its through the worst ways possible.
You have to be clever because your falling into a trap. Lately we have had a lot of people becoming famous for the wrong reasons whether it was the Double Take girls doing 'Hot Problem's' going viral due to people so badly needing to sharing it and not because it was good but because it was just plain awful. 

Whenever you post a youtube video ranting about her, you increase awareness of her. It also bugs me how this person has 64,000 followers. If you are following to see what he/she is tweeting next, STOP FOLLOWING, and stop replying to her tweets or retweeting her. Heck start a trend such as #Unfollowplasticbieber or something. 

Especially if it is a troll. They will love the attention, and get off on it, finding it the entertainment of their life. When they get no attention, that's like turning off the TV for a spoilt child. 

 The troll image~ don't we miss the days of the internet when what people said is what they actually meant. :/

Final Thoughts

The only reason I posted this article is because I've had the final straw with trolling. The number of time twitter has come on the news because of cyberbullying and what not is getting to the point of ridiculous. People are becoming so bored they need to verbal abuse to people they've never met not even face to face like a man but via a tweet. They need to grow up, chill, do something to get rid of their boredom and do something. Watch the Olympics, do the gardening, heck learn a new recipe, just stop harassing people on twitter and our psychological case is over. 
Good night and Adieu

Olympics Opening Ceremony Thoughts

Best opening of Olympics by far :D

Four years since the last Olympic when I was watching it at the age of 15 in Morocco, Beijing 2008. Alot of hype was surrounding London hosting the Olympics and it more than lived up to it. The Olympics opening ceremony was incredible. I cannot remember the last time I sat in front of a TV for five hours straight, cheering, smiling, laughing and just having an incredible time. My Facebook and Twitter exploded and I tweeted over 200 tweets, a rare feat I have never achieved before just to show the extent of how fun it was. On Facebook everyone was talking about it, constant status updates as we were all shocked and amazed by appearances of Rowan Atkinson doing his part as Mr Bean causing hysterics. J.K. Rowling appearing to read an extract for the Literature part of the opening. My favourite part was the NHS sequence which involved children in night beds and nurses and doctors danced around them, once night arrived evil forces such as the Child Snatcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Voldemort from Harry Potter began before the good guys came to save the day. People also acted out Britain's history of the Victorian age with factories and furnaces as well as the Women's suffragettes including the music era. From also the Queen's entrance with Daniel Craig as James Bond jumping from the helicopter with parachutes, the night never failed to entertain and amuse one bit. 
The Rings connecting! The number of times my mouth was wide open in awe I lost count :O
                                                            The Lovely J.K. Rowling
                                                       Rowan Atkinson~ A Legend
Voldemort Versus Mary Poppins in Literature~ Kaerith wished Aslan from Narnia made an appearance 

Danny's Boyle's music score

One reason we still haven't seen a sequel to 28 weeks later is because Danny Boyle has been busy preparing for the Olympics. I honestly thought the music he provided for the event was nothing short of just INCREDIBLE. And it was perfect because 28 days later and 28 weeks later are both set in London with scenic empty landscape shots of London, so the soundtrack suited it perfectly. The one good thing I can say about the Olympics ending is that Danny Boyle will finally begin work on 28 months later since he will then be free (fingers crossed).
The beautiful and talented Emeli Sande sings 'Abide by Me', featured in 28 Days Later when Jim discovers his parents died peacefully in the aftermath

3 hours of 284 nations being introduced...

I loved the opening ceremony but goodness me that parade which introduced the countries I didn't enjoy as much. And also the number of countries which made me want to get an Atlas out or Google it. Places like Muamba, Saint Kitts and Nevis and Seychelles (I look at my tweets as saying this because they were easy to forget). I kept feeling very stupid when my face pulled a frown as I thought "THAT'S A COUNTRY!?". And the letter A and B dragged on for 45 minutes. But at least we know everyone in the world is being involved I guess. As well as the long duration, alot of people were tweeting, about how sorry they felt for the drummers. Can you imagine how tired those poor poor drummers must have felt, drumming for 3 hours straight. And the reaction of Queen Elizabeth II was priceless that there were a lot of memes, but in defense of the Queen not looking impressed with the 3 hour duration of countries being introduced she is very old and to stay up that late with the energy and also the high heels. Bless her Majesty for that effort, she really did amazing. I screamed loudly for Japan! Being a Tokyo Dreamer. Morocco and France for my family from there and sat through the whole 3 hours for my country, Great Britain which came last as we are currently hosting the Olympic Games this year. :)
My favourite meme XDDDD

After all the flags gathered on the hill...

We were all dying to find out who was going to carry the olympic flame for the final run as David Beckham and an athelete in a speed-boat approached the last run under London Tower Bridge. We were all hoping it would be David Tennant to commemorate Doctor Who and its British culture and impact, particularly the season 2 episode with Billie Piper playing Rose Tyler called 'Fear Her'. Or heck even David Beckham. Instead it was a male athlete who won something in the last Olympics. 
My reaction was "Who the f*** is that?" O.o You can imagine the memes that started popping up on Facebook.


The 2006 episode of Doctor Who, 'Fear Her' must have taken place in a parallel universe. :/

The ceremony ended with the beautiful cauldron being lit.

And it was a beautiful cauldron, the image I was getting was a flower coming to life, its stem bouncing up. We also saw UN leaders holding the last flag showing the Olympics logo representing all five nations and Muhammad Ali which brought a tear to my eye. Such an emotional and fantastic opening. Even without David Tennant it was beautiful and brought the whole world together under one starry sky. That day 1 billion people tuned in to see the world celebrating all together in one city and that's why the Olympics is still going even since Ancient Times. This is TokyoDreamer9 signing off for the Hunger Games, I mean Olympics. :D

Thoughts on Kristen Stewart Cheating

Oh dear, what happened :(

This morning I turned on my laptop, went onto google news. I like knowing what's happening around the world via google news than a newspaper, saves spending money ;) And under the usual articles about the Olympics in London, icebergs melting and politics. I noticed an article that was trending that was discussing about Kristen Stewart cheating. I was like what on earth is going on, so clicked onto it and began reading. To be honest I'm not shocked but also disappointed. 

From Twilight to Snow White...

I remember watching the trailer for Snow White and the Huntsman and thinking that looks like an amazing film but a lot more was happening behind the scenes that expected. Kristen according to the rumours and I don't think they are rumours, from Kristen's public apology to photography and sadly the camera never lies unless one uses photoshop, it looks like Kristen cheated on Robert with the director who was also married and I have a feeling Kristen also met the wife. 

So what got you typing about this? O.o Its just celebrity gossip again right.

The reason I wanted to talk about it was because I find it really disappointing Kristen would do this. A lot of people already criticize her in her role as Bella in Twilight and in Snow White, one thing that put off my friend Kaerith from going to see it was Kirsten was in the film. But I thought for once, here's where she wiill finally begin to evolve as an actress and maybe prove people wrong about her acting skills. Now I have never hated Bella from the Twilight series until seeing Eclipse in which she cheats Edward with Jacob and there I was like. LOST COMPLETE RESPECT!

Actors act characters, but Kristen for me has just completely become like Bella in that respect after hearing this, which is terrible really. And I feel sorry for Robert. Also all of these relationships were born out of film-making.
(FILM MAKING Y RU RUINING RELATIONSHIPS?)
Also the article discussed how an earlier interview with Kristen discussed she wanted something to f*** her life up and make it go wild. 
Be careful what you wish for strongly comes to mind.

Lady Gaga tweets...

Lady Gaga tweeted how appaling the paparazzi were eating up this story as though its icecream. And I agree with her. I never typed into google news the following:
Kristen Stewart
Robert Pattison
Twilight
It was underneath the olympics article O.o How tragic is that?>.<
If I made a mistake like spilling paint all over the M25 and it was plastered next to the Olympics 2012, I'd feel pretty bad about myself >.<
I agree with Lady Gaga with the respect that this affair should be left to be sorted between the people it affected. But also that's the price of fame unfortunately especially when many of these people involved have used the paparazzi to promote films and events, its a double edged sword.

What now?

I don't know because 
1. We don't know the whole story or picture, news is always biased.
2. Humans are humans. We're not perfect despite what some people like to think of themselves.
3. Wrong place, wrong time?

I hope Kristen and Robert get back together if they're relationship is as genuine as they claim it to be and Kristen learns a lesson from this. 

Why's that?

People make mistakes, its also up to Robert whether he can forgive. But I look at Kristen and Robert as people who are victims of the Fame, they rose to high popularity due to the ahem...Twilight Saga thing and a lot of people feel the bad side of it. It's why BeyoncĂ© never goes on tabloids a lot or interviews about her personal life, she draws a distinct line. 

 And with that, I can't wait for the Olympics, it begins tomorrow. :) YAY! 

(Apart from the fact the motorway and trains are down but other than that HOORAY!)

Here's to the summer!!!

Just wanted to say here's to summer and to my youtube channel receiving over 2,000 views. I have no idea why but its the Mean Girls 2 review that is receiving the most views. Must be because the film is that infamous. Also my secret project is over 100 pages. For those of you who don't know, I'm writing a secret project. Cannot wait for Olympics and this summer I will try to do some more blogging on what's going on but the secret project will take main priority before second year of my uni course begins.
Thankyou ^^
