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

Cannot wait for Nicki Minaj new single

Pound the Alarm!

Nicki Minaj's latest single Pound The Alarm will be having a music video release soon, currently being filmed in Nicki's home, Saint James Trinidad and Tobago and from the preview I cannot wait. If you have not heard the song, here is the youtube link. Its currently on the top 40s single chart for the UK. 

                                         I <3 Face Painting! ^^

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HouET3H0vAE

Why do you like Nicki Minaj's music?

Nicki like all the artists I like at the moment always makes such catchy music and her raps are also as addictive. The Beez in the Trap is my personal favourite, when someone has been annoying you its just the perfect song to start playing and telling the world to get lost. I also like her colourful outfits and her attire choices, artists that change their attire choices extravagantly each time they appear are a lot more interesting, its what makes them artists. Both their music and their fashion combined gives them that title. 

Also I love her accent and alter egos particularly in the songs, Moment 4 Life and Roman Holiday in which you hear them. Makes me smile so much these songs. So in conclusion I like Nicki's music because it does what music is supposed to do, make you smile, dance, laugh and shake your fist at the world when it gets you down. 

Lady Gaga comparisons

With regards to the Lady Gaga comparisons that I've noticed on many websites including youtube all I got to say to those people is to chill. People love to compare artists today and say "THAT ARTIST IS A COPYCAT!" "BURN THEM AT THE STAKE" "BUY THEIR ALBUM AND BURN IT!". And I'm like, wowwww, chill.

1. Nicki Minaj is aware of comparisons as people have already asked her in interviews, she replied to this with a response that makes a lot of sense. A lot of the female artists this generation are using wigs, outfits the lot to promote their music. Its not just Lady Gaga using extravagant costumes, Katy Perry, Rihanna etc are just some of the few. 

2. Lady Gaga does pop music whilst Nicki Minaj does rapping, those are two completely different genres of music. So I'm guessing its Nicki's clothes choices. Do not forget Lady Gaga is inspired by older generation artists such as Madonna, David Bowie and fashion, she didn't design all her outfits. She knows where the clothes came from, the designer etc but she has a team that discusses with her what her next clothes are going to be. 

3. There is a difference between copying and inspiration, copying is when you take an idea and claim it as your own. Inspiration is when you take an idea/ concept you like and change it to make it your own. Lady Gaga was inspired by David Bowie in the Just Dance music video when doing the blue lightning bolt across her face, and from all the costumes she has done a lot of artists may have also been inspired from this. This is good because it means people are joining the trend. 

My point is people need to calm down and just enjoy the music. I know people want to prove their how hardcore they are as fans and how much they love the people that inspire them but recently on the news I saw a fan videotaped himself harassing Nicki saying she ripped off Lady Gaga which I just thought was ridiculous. Lady Gaga's message of equality and love everyone sometimes does not get into some thick people's skulls unfortunately. Last time, people were bullying Adele after she beat Lady Gaga to a few off the awards, going onto their twitter to call her names. And its quite sad unfortunately. :(

 I love Lady Gaga and I also love Nicki Minaj. They are two talented females producing music to entertain, if you don't like their music there's over billions of other music to listen to. 

Other than that, cannot wait for Pound The Alarm and Roman Reloaded is available on iTunes and in stores. 

Dark Knight Rises Massacre

Films should never have openings like this. Ever.

First things first. All my prayers go to all the families and victims affected by this horrible tragedy, I started this entry days ago and couldn't bear to continue because it was still sinking in.

First hearing the news:

I was in a car, being driven back from Essex when my friend Kaerith told me that on Twitter it was trending that people had been shot in a cinema to a viewing of The Dark Knight rises by a guy trying to impersonate the joker. 

Marvel frenzy

This news shocked me but also horrified me. Marvel is highly popular at the moment with Thor, The Avengers Assemble, Iron Man etc clocking in the box office numbers. I went to see The Avengers Assemble, (which by the way is incredible) and it makes you think how short life is. It could have been any of us in a cinema watching a film, the least likely place you'd think something bad would happen. The incident also brings to light about how USA has guns available.

If you love guns, put fingers in your ears, caus I'm gonna diss 'em

I don't know what the laws are about selling guns in the US being from the UK but over here. Getting a gun is like getting 3 weeks of no rain in March. Its impossible! Period. Only police and military have access to it. I was also watching Law and Order: Special Victims Unit (which is set in Manhattan, New York, basically USA) and the number of times somebody had gun when they were not supposed to including underage children was shocking. There are arguments that I'm sure people will argue why people should be able to carry guns e.g. to protect themselves. But there really needs to be more restriction on who buys it, particularly the ones this criminal had when he did what he did.

Memes and Jokes regarding Dark Knight Incident...

Some of the jokes I have seen on Facebook and twitter related to the incident are not funny. This is a tragedy not a joke. People actually got hurt, its not some viral video on You tube of people doing silly things. Find something else to make jokes about, but show respect because let's face it, almost everyone goes to cinema these days and it could have been you. LECTURE ENDS there 

Obama didn't name the man who impersonated the joker.

When I heard what Obama said about this incident I honestly did smile. Wise words there as he said "although the perpetrator of this evil act has received a lot of attention over the last couple of days, that attention will fade away". From what I have seen with films such as 'We Need To Talk About Kevin', these incidents usually happen because the killer wants to be famous, craves attention. And Barack Obama is right. At the end of the day, the criminal will get locked up and put in prison. And the families and victims will be the ones who are remembered and honored.

Peace

My prayers also go out to the anniversary of the Oslo incident of Norway. I pray next July in 2013 we do not have another incident of gun violence.

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 Beyoncé 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!)

Fifty Shades of Grey

What is the book everyone is going on about? O.o

When I went to the land of Essexia the other day with Kaerith and Mrs C. we looked inside WHSmith and shopped inside Tesco in which I noticed a particular book has gained quite a lot of popularity being continually put on display. Its called 'Fifty Shades of Grey' by E.L. James. The book had a picture of a tie on it and after typing Rihanna into google news the book was mentioned again, when a fan tweeted the singer to read it she replied to them to go eff themselves, "#phuckyoamateurs" was what she said specifically. Okay RiRi no need to start some more twitter beef. O.o

But seriously, what is it with books gaining so much popularity and its been over a year since they were released. The Hunger Games was not a new book, it only became very hyped when the film was released and then people began to notice the books. However, having read and seen The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins I can say that popularity is understandable as the book is excellent and has a fantastic and emotional plot line. But Fifty Shades of Grey unfortunately I have not read yet and upon reading the plot on wikipedia, its quite a controversial book. Touching upon topics of S&M, sadism, bondage and masochism. I guess that explains the sequels in the trilogy I saw in WHSmith in which I saw handcuffs as one of the front covers.But I do wonder about its popularity. Are people reading it because its the latest trend, a movie is being made of it, its controversial topics, or the fact its in the genre of erotic fiction and they need something to steam it up. Or is it just that a GOOD BOOK. For those of you who have read it. Would you recommend it?

I'm guessing the tie on the front cover refers to one of the protagonists is the billionaire entrepreneur, Christian Grey who I'm guessing like with all business men likes to wear a tie. Hence the cover.

Twitter~ Is it pointless or not?

My wonderful friend Kaerith first introduced me to twitter in the year me believes of 2010 or posssibly 2009. Kaerith loves to roleplay on twitter as characters from the Final Fantasy series for fun. Roleplaying on twitter, how do I describe it. Well you pretend to be a character from a series. So for example pretend I'm roleplaying Postman Pat on twitter and discussing with Bob the Builder about the weather but it has to be in Postman's character. Not mine, so for example:


Postman_Pat: @Bob_Build Good Morning Bob! Here's you're post. *cough*

Bob_Build: @Postman_Pat Oh Hey Pat! Didn't cya there! Fine morning we're having!

In reply to Bob_Build, Postman_Pat replies: @Bob_Build *mumbles* gotta deliver more letters you nitwit T.T

In reply to Postman_Pat, Bob_Build replied: @Postman_Pat Cheerios mate (assho***).


So that's twitter roleplaying for you in a punch. Now I joined it and roleplayed a random character from a series called Hell Girl which proved completely unsuccessful. Final Fantasy being a very popular and well known series is more easier to roleplay in. So twitter became very silly and pointless for me. It made no sense for me. What on earth was @ for? And why did  people use a hashtag like this # followed by a word? What on earth did RT mean? And why did people talk very cryptically and as though they're not having a conversation but spouting out nonsense. I gave up twitter and left my account to gather dust.

Time passed and at the end of 2011 I decided to change my twitter account from a roleplaying one to one that was me as real person so from a random character it became Yours Truly. After getting an ipod touch and downloading twitter as an App, it somehow became more enjoyable. It felt like texting but with no worry of spending credit. I began to understand all those acronyms and technical terms. RT means retweet. The hashtag is used to show your tweet in the trends for that word. You use @ to direct a tweet towards someone. And then that's when I discoved it. You can tweet to celebrities. Yes, they don't reply, and you can kind of see why after searching @celebrity's name to see that tweets of 50 directed towards that celebrity pop up every 10 seconds. But it feels so good to say thankyou for something or appreciate something they've done.

Another reason I began to like Twitter was that unlike Facebook, I could talk about rubbish without irritating people on Facebook. When you update your status update quite a number of times on facebook, people don't like it, it spams the newsfeed and they'd rather hear from other people than just you. And also some people don't know you can alter settings to restrict how many posts you receive from a person.

So yes, you can tweet rubbish, crazy things, blow steam and the best thing is it's like social dieting. On facebook your status update can be quite a long status update, whilst Twitter restricts you to only tweet with 140 characters. At first, when using it, this sounds ridiculous but you get used to it over time and it also helps you get to the point quicker. Have you ever found that you can go on and on and on with a status update, whilst in Twitter, you just say what's on your mind and BAM your done.

My last reason for beginning to like Twitter and finally understanding it's reason for exsisting is a personal reason. Facebook became such a hassle recently, as well as drama, annoying people and constant pestering it can sometimes become too much and also addictive, there are times where you realize your just on Facebook wasting time. After deactivating my account and using Twitter it feels good for alot of reasons.

Reason 1. Less people use twitter because they think it's stupid. So less people hassle you, less drama on there. (unless all your friends use twitter I am so sorry for saying that, you find that reason doesn't apply to you).

Reason 2. You can't use Twitter for very long periods like Facebook, you do eventually have enough of tweeting, so it doesn't become addictive like Facebook. In other words, you spend time doing other things.

And finally, I like Twitter, for this reason too. He hasn't appeared in awhile. But for those of you who don't know meet 'The Fail Whale' :)

Whenever Twitter becomes over-capacity, our wonderful friend the 'Fail Whale' greets us to tell us tweeting just isn't possible :D Oh isn't life just amusing on social network sites. XDDDDD
