Jessi Slaughter was only 11 years old when she became a "viral Internet meme" back in 2010. Everyone has seen the video where Jessi's father points at the camera and threatens to call "the cyberpolice" on the 4chan trolls who were harassing Jessi. The reason? She was "out of control" online and accused Blood on the Dance Floor singer Dahvie Vanity of raping her. Jessi's online harassment and sexual exploitation took a toll on her and contributed to her developing mental and physical illnesses.

Agatha ("Threemilk") was an ASMR YouTuber and Twitch variety livestreamer who became the object of obsession for members of the /r9k/ ROBOT9001 board on 4chan. Although her growth may have been thanks to the attention from these members, she became a victim of cyberstalking, with anonymous users doxing her and sharing photos of her in threads while making lewd, homophobic, and anti-Semitic comments. Overwhelmed by this, she deleted all of her social media and videos from her channel - which had amassed over 40k subscribers - and disappeared from the public eye to pursue a college degree.
