It’s an internet forum that picks targets they think it would be funny to harass (dubbed “lolcows”) and then doxes, tracks and harasses them.
It started life as people following, doxing and harassing Chris-chan (as a consequence Chris-chan is probably the single most documented human in history because of internet weirdos). Chris-chan did eventually come out as trans, but that didn’t happen until they’d already been obsessively watching them for over a decade so they clearly didn’t start targeting them because of trans status.
It usually gets painted as being a primarily anti-trans site, but they don’t limit themselves to trans people, though they do have a board for trans targets. They have an entire board dedicated to furries, another dedicated fat activists, etc. If you’re internet-famous and kinda weird or controversial, they’ve probably started a thread to at least start obsessively gooning over you if not worse than that. Their thread on Musk has the blurb “Tesla, SpaceX and Twitter owner + ex-paypal CEO. Manchild, sexual deviant, spergy autist with access to space travel .”
The site most recently made news headlines when CloudFlare decided to cut them off, being the first time that CF has ever behaved in the fashion of a content moderator. This took them down for a couple of days until they found an alternate anti-DDOS solution.
