      I did a bit more research into this and it seems this conspiracy is largely spearheaded by Kiwifarms, so I do feel bad by bringing it up.

        “Kiwi Farms, formerly known as CWCki Forums (/ˈkwɪki/ KWIH-kee), is a web forum that facilitates the harassment of online figures and communities. Their targets are often subject to organized group trolling and stalking, as well as doxing and real-life harassment.[3][4][5] Kiwi Farms has been tied to the deaths of three people who were victims of harassment and died by suicide.[6][7][8]”
