Damn we really need new content in the Fishtank sphere if the most interesting thing that's happened all week was one of the 3 crazy women from the show sperging out about us
There is news with Josie's fans but I've avoided posting about it since I doubt anyone here cares. I'm bored right now though and it's interesting enough so here it is.
Summary: A little bit of leakage happened showing that some of her "top" fans are what you'd expect.
- At least a few fans likely intend to coerce Josie, in person, into joining their Discord, scheming in a hidden/exclusive channel.
- Q4L talks like a "groomer" and seems to want a girl named Emilie to be brought to Japan for him.
- Damage control has been run, mostly on 4chan. No refutations, however.
- Some of Josie's fans follow her mom's private Twitter and are followed back, meaning they can see what her mom Tweets. This gives them access to exclusive pictures of Josie, or as they call them "wosies."
I'll give some context as I go. There's a lot to cover and some of it may not make sense so if something doesn't make sense feel free to point it out.
It started on Monday with these messages. Note his plain white name which likely indicates he wasn't in the server when these were taken.
I did
a summary of Q4L (
Queso4Life) when he was nominated "Top Bloke" for a week in an old stream. He's no longer active in the main circles and apparently was banned from their Discord. He still makes face in pre-stream chat but doesn't chat like he used to nor does he post on 4chan. He's still silently active on Twitter, however.
A brief summary, Q4L has posted about Josie since day 1 of Season 1 and has collected well over 10,000 images of her, including pictures from her family's and friends' social media. He of course named himself after Queso, the doll she had with her during Season 1, and used to talk about and allude to things he wanted to do to/with Josie but once he gained notoriety and had a name he stopped and was suddenly heckin' wholesome. From then on he tried to portray himself as a superfan and nothing more.
It is difficult to convey how obsessed he has been with Josie. He worked with other fans to make a Muse Dash clone (
itch.io |
Steam) that Josie played on stream, posted about her daily for over 6 months, likely continues privately, and has altered his entire life around her schedule.
The girl he wants to "smoke and watch mlp with" is the same girl in
the stream Tyson/Lance did. Q4L is studying abroad in Japan and has said repeatedly in stream chat that Josie needs to go to Japan, for some context. Also worth pointing out some other fans are going and of course Q4L wants to meet Josie in person. I'd wager Emilie is/was in the Japan trip group and he wants to
hang out with her as well because he's a creep and was apparently saying some weird stuff to her in their Discord, from which he's been grooming her.
There's more to all of that but I think the context is too boring to include. Her Twitter is
@hoppyfroggys which is deactivated for now.
In short, it sounds like she was going to Japan with someone else and in classic weirdo fashion he couldn't contain his excitement and was removed from part of the community. Keep this in mind.
Vicnoodle (
Twitter) has mentioned he'll be going to Japan this summer which leads me to believe she would be going with him, making this all much stranger. This trip spurred on people trying to get Josie to go, which she acknowledged by saying it's too hot to go during summer.
I appreciate whoever made my job easier of getting some classic Q4L quotes from nearly a year ago.
Bonus, he's the reply.
More leaks were dropped in the same thread, seemingly inspired by the Q4L Discord leaks above.
Twitter Profiles
Everyone pictured here is a fan going back to season 1. Vicnoodle went to the Mondo party in New York to meet Josie, along with AndyjackV who will be relevant later. Vic also sends a lot of super chats via Streamlabs, sometimes even when there's no stream that day. In the 3rd picture you can see Dokkaebi wants Josie in the server but is also against adding many other fans, saying they have "the coolest ppl" already.
Dokkaebi is easy to identify in the 4chan threads due to his German flag with broken English. His initial response was to throw Luke and umz (both met Josie at Game On Expo) under the bus, claiming the leaked pictures are from a shitpost channel. He claims Luke "sneaked into the only girls channel" and multiple people mention a "girl's channel" so it sounds like they actually do have a girl's only chat (that some of them snoop on) which is weird enough on its own.
Dokkaebi is another a long time simp that has posted less and less on 4chan and it's obvious he popped in to run damage control. Worth noting he's second to Q4L for pathetic josieposting on 4chan, having his own massive collection of images. He can't keep his story straight, as we'll see. There's more to him but he just seems like a pathetic guy trying to be the next fake "superfan" with ulterior motives and probably has more in common with Q4L than he cares to admit.
Apparently Dokkaebi sent this pic to Josie and was upset when she didn't respond to it.
Normally I wouldn't even acknowledge this because it's so pathetic it has to be a troll... yet it turned out to be true and Dokkaebi felt it was worth boasting about. He also bragged about another DM he sent being read and getting a response.
More recently he posted this.
In the leak he described it as a "mod channel" then on 4chan as a "shitpost channel" and finally as a "recruiting channel." I've been around internet chats, it's clearly the "janny" channel where the janny personalities talk privately and scheme for their own benefit. In classic Janny fashion, people said there were a lot of bans from the server recently which probably motivated or were motivated by the leaks.
I can't blame Josie for not wanting to check her DMs with fans like this.
Earlier I mentioned AndyjackV (aka
tankwatching) who some people have probably seen if they keep up with Fishtank on Twitter. He not only went to the Mondo party but also went to Furry Weekend Atlanta recently where Josie shot
a video and was seen in a few shots of her edited video which upset some fans. He tweeted one of the leaked pictures earlier, fanning the flames.
He's had his own falling out with some of the notorious Joisecels so is probably enjoying the show. He's a Fishtank fan and Josie fan and there's some autistic bad blood in there somewhere.
It's been made clear that some Josie fans are followed by Josie's mom's private twitter account. This means they can see her privated tweets which include exclusive pictures of Josie. It's worth pointing out that they've been nabbing Josie's mom's Youtube PFPs for awhile now since her mom uses pictures of Josie for those.
On Wednesday Josie was sick and her mom privately tweeted a picture of Josie curled up in bed. I think it's obvious Josie is unaware of this picture being taken so you can only imagine how she'd feel knowing her mom also shared it with her weirdo fans.
This has actually been apparent for awhile, they've shared a few of these exclusive pics on 4chan. Essentially, if it's a picture Josie is obviously not paying attention in, her mom probably took it. Their response to this wasn't that following her mom is a strange thing to do, it was being upset they were found out.
I can't verify this but, like with all of the leaks, there's no one saying otherwise and it isn't surprising.
Keep in mind these people talk with Josie's mom and aunt in stream chat as well and don't take issue with any of this. They've even prodded for childhood stories and "lore." If you think that's weird, well you're just jealous!
