    I miss Nicole. She was like inverse Tom. She wasn’t anyone’s friend and she wouldn’t leave you alone.

      I forgot about that. Was thrilled and frightened when received the email. Did anyone make sure the person in the pic was okay? Think she was not aware her pic was being used to spam Lemmy.

        I literally did. She is a real person who was using an online chat platform and someone was doxxing and harassing her. She was horrified when I linked the Lemmy threads where she became a meme, she wasn’t aware, she knew who it was immediately because of other issues with them. It would be best that we let this one die for the sake of an innocent person because the meme is basically helping the weird stalker win

    Man, I was hoping “Original post” was tge original post

    I hope Nicole is doing okay. I think I remember someone finding out the images used were stolen, hopefully the real Nicole is out there living her best life.

      I did look for a screenshot of the DM, but came up dry. Best I could find was this Mastodon profile that I think it linked to.

      I was going to make some meme a while back using a screenshot of her message and went on a search about what ever happened. I guess some people tracked down the source poster and he started sharing like gory pictures and stuff and people weren’t sure if it was Nicole or other pictures found off the internet or what so I decided not to make the memes just because I had no idea what happened in the end

        I just assume it was some scammer and they always freak out when they’re under the microscope.

        I’ve heard conflicting things: it’s a scammer, it’s a campaign to harass this person, it’s a stalker.

        There was another comment elsewhere the gore was unrelated/fake/a copycat.

      There was some spammer messaging people left and right a while back followed by a ton of copycat accounts. Admins had to crack down on it all.

        Another strange aspect of the whole thing is that all the pictures of “Nicole” look like creepshots that someone took from her webcam without her knowledge. You can also see the top of a bong in the most common image (the same one that’s in this meme).
