CTV News reports:
Youth and adults at OutLoud North Bay, the city’s 2SLGBTQ+ youth hub, have been subjected to harassment and death threats because of plans to host a youth drag show. It all started Wednesday when a controversial American account called ‘Libs of TikTok’ posted screenshots promoting OutLoud’s youth drag show, scheduled to take place July 15. The people behind the account also post on other social media platforms.
The account takes TikTok videos and social media posts primarily from 2SLGBTQ+ people and reposts them to generate outrage from its followers. It worked: OutLoud has since been inundated with hateful emails, calls and online comments, including death threats. Seth Compton, OutLoud North Bay’s founder and executive director, said his staff and even youth who attend the space have been targeted.

Other events targeted by LibsOfTikTok have resulted in violence by the Proud Boys. Watch the clip below.

Yet again, Libs of Tik Tok tweeted the location of a drag event with an incendiary caption and the Proud Boys showed up to crash it while police stood by and watched. She knows exactly what she’s doing. pic.twitter.com/OCBH6h9Hqs

In all of her denials and demands for retractions she’s never once mentioned the Proud Boys. Remember that she was at the Capitol riot on January 6. pic.twitter.com/y6neQlbWYe

Raichik knows (and says she likes) that her posts have real world impact. Here is here in December 2021 when her focus was still lgbtq teachers:
“when there’s actually action taken, meaning a teacher gets fired or suspended, it’s a really great feeling.”
