Twitter Data Has Revealed A Coordinated Campaign Of Hate Against Meghan Markle

One of the 83 has to be the “Dear” Troll.

I don't know anything about organized online campaigns against Ginge and Cringe, I actually liked them (without caring all that much about either) when they were engaged and then got married.

But their bullshit grandstanding about issues anyone with a working brain agrees about, the lucrative opportunities dropped in their laps just because of who they are as opposed to anything they have to offer (or have actually accomplished) and most of all their constant whining about how rough they have it in their multi-million $$$ Montecito villa curdled my formerly vaguely positive impression of them.

And the fact that they still use the honorifics of Duke and Duchess, despite having supposedly renounced their royal connection (which is the only reason anyone cares about their opinion) just sealed the deal.

What r2 said

I was going to post this article myself when I saw it. Thanks for sharing it, OP. Muriel really needs to read it and take note. The vast majority of the posters who shriek about how horrible Meghan Markle is are likely paid trolls. That's not to say every one of them are, but if they are obsessively posting about only Meghan and aren't engaging in other conversations in different threads, you can safely assume they are being paid to troll and can be safely red tagged.

She's just not popular, and people see her for the phony grifter she is.

R2 You have signed your DL death warrant

R6, why would my opinion on The Spare and MeAgain be a big deal? Gay men (and, I'm assuming, gay women) don't care about these nitwits.

I've thought the Markle hate here was by only a few obsessed fraus. They go into every thread and bring her up, no matter how unrelated she is to the topic. They can't stop thinking about her, it is creepy. If you hate someone so much, then don't think about them.

I like phony grifters, they are entertaining, and the more airs they put on while they do ridiculous things, the better! The Markle haters take her so so seriously (as they claim she doesn’t matter).

Its usually the pro-Sussex posts that are mindless and divorced from the rest of the thread. Nearly all the anti-Sussex posts have original content and factual arguments

In the end, it’s really matter if whether or not the posts are true, and there are plenty of objective reasons to dislike and ridicule this couple.

They're going to fade into irrelevance as the years go on. Meghan's already middle-aged, and Harry will be soon. William and Kate's kids will be in the spotlight as they reach their young adult years.

It’s not that I hate them; I just don’t like them. It would be sad if they went away.

R10: Trolls find trolls to be witty, factual and informative, film at 11.

Lol this doesn't mean she is more likeable than it seems. H&M are still widely unpopular in the UK and they are narcissistic grifters. It just means that twitter has very small population of users who care enough to trash on them.

R10. In the end it is a matter of whether the content is true or not. Antivaxx and stop the steal posts are malicious nonsense. The posts on datalounge at least are based on what the couples own behaviour, as witnessed publicly by everyone b

I don't like either of them but not enough to really keep up with their latest grift. He's as dumb as a box of rocks, and while he used to be charming, he seems to have lost any charm since he met her. I don't know if she made him feel self-important and he then became humorless, or if he's miserable, but it's a shame.

Meghan is just a grifter. Her whole goal in life was to meet and marry a very rich and famous man. I congratulate her on realizing that dream, but there's nothing admirable about this type of goal. She uses and discards people (friends, family). She's extremely self-important and thinks she's more intelligent than she is in reality (although I admit she's Einstein compared to him).

Together, they're very unappealing, scolding, humorless and impressed with themselves. By the way, the reference to "hurting their credibility" is hilarious. What credibility did these nothings ever have? He was born a prince. There's literally nothing else interesting about him. She was a Z list actress with above-average looks and a shitty personality.

Is one called Surviving Angel?

Almost every reply has, of course, missed/proven the point.

Expressing a strong dislike for Meghan Markle is one thing. Turning that dislike into a 24/7 bulk shitposting industry is something else entirely. A question of scale and intent.

There is no point, R18. I don't post on Twitter. I said why I don't like them. They're not entitled to being liked especially when they're annoying as fuck.

R20 I didn't say they were. I've heard enough about them to last my natural days. But the article at OP has absolutely nothing to do with that.

R19 expounded on my feelings beautifully.

Always the victim.

The idea that fewer than 100 people are responsible for most of the negative posts needs to be evaluated in context. How many people are actively posting about them on Twitter at all? Except for the week of the Oprah interview, they have become pretty minor celebrities, and I wouldn’t expect a large number of people to be commenting on them at any time. If 83 people generated most of the comments against more consequential people like Fauci or Trump, that would require explanation.

Does the Sussexes constant PR campaign count as a coordinated campaign too? They have spent a couple of years, and God knows how much cash, attempting to convince the public that the Royal Family is evil, that Britain (which welcomed her with open arms and paid millions for her wedding) dislikes her on the basis of racial hatred, and that they are unfairly abused people of substance: the epitome of noblesse oblige, full of foresight,

They preach environmentalism while flying on private jets, tell easily disproven lies in self-serving TV interviews, try to use Diana’s memory to draw false equivalences between her and the Duchess. Do they really have a right to then object when people call them liars and hypocrites?

The Sucksicks do it all by themselves to attract attention and paint thrmselves as the ultimate victims. End of.

Even Donald Trump isn’t as obsessed with his “haters” as this one. Such a martyr.

[quote]Does the Sussexes constant PR campaign count as a coordinated campaign too?

They're at least upfront about their PR efforts, as opposed to you lot.

Even this “analysis” didn’t reveal the use of bots or paid trolls. No conclusions were drawn about the 83 Twitter posters, aside from their dislike of the Harkles. All this reveals is that the couple is driven to distraction by negative opinions and desperately wants all of them shut down.

People just hate it that a mixed woman got into the BRF to begin with

Heh DL trolls are easily led.

I’d be interested to see a similar analysis of the Twitter (and other including LSA and Datalounge) presence of the so-called “Sussex Squad”. You know - that group of people who are on record posting death threats against journalists who have dared to write anything vaguely critical of the Sussexes. Those death threats have in at least one case included the children of the British journalist.

And it would be fascinating to see if there’s a link between these people and the Sussexes’ PR firm Sunshine Sachs.

Paid trolls are paid trolls and they aren’t all critical of the Sussexes, I suspect.

A useful thread for blocking racist Tories.

Coordinated racism? I'm shocked.

And before anybody asks for links, here are a few.

More

And another

The Klan Grannies

"I know you are but what am I?" responds the troll posting for the 5700th time about how terrible the Harkles really are.

She’s got the Omarosa game plan. Whatever cunty thing she does, the criticism is about her sex or race and people just don’t like strong intelligent black women.

[quote]Gay men (and, I'm assuming, gay women) don't care about these nitwits.

Well, some do, some REALLLY fucking care. Which of course is the whole point of that article.

Anyone check what Piers Morgan is spending his money on?

I didn't think there were that many people of good sense posting on Twitter.

The Klan Grannies are 3 or 4 super pathetic people. I'll never forget them discussing their days. The most pathetic loser was so proud to tell the other losers, "I get up and I check the Daily Mail, then I check The Sun, I check my Google alerts, then I check what the Express has to say. Later on I scan The Daily Mirror, then I check back in on The Daily Mail" and on and on

This loser has no job and his entire day is spent checking to see what is written about Meghan and Harry. It's what he's done every single day for the past 4 years.

I've blocked him. He's against tipping wait staff, hates black people and doesn't think the capitol riots are anything to get upset about. And he just deleted his computer cookies

Why would right-winger dipshits give a fuck about this celebritard wannabe?

I think that Twitter takes itself for a court and that Dorsey respects less and less the freedom of speech. When it's not Harry and Meghan, it's something/Someone else. This social medias got rich thanks to its users and now that this asshole Dorsey is a billionaire he shits on people one after another. He allows himself to influence economic policies as if he was the Minister of economy, when nobody asks his opinion, and he does it too often.

No one has the right to impose on people what they are entitled to think. It's just a social medias n othing else. When the celebs Dorsey likes use bots, he doesn't make a fuss. Dorsey and Zuckerberg's America looks more and more like the USSR. I mean, who cares what users think about Meghan and Harry? They're a powerful couple, protected, privileged people, of course the poor and ordinary people will target them. What does he care about?

R16 is one of those trolls. He's posted hundreds of things about the queen, william and kate, how he hates meghan and harry and bizarrely over 100 posts about Alec Baldwin's shooting

He dumped his computer cookies, and doesn't show up under "Ignored", but when I ignored R16's post (because I knew he was full of shit) all his hundreds of other posts showed back up in the Ignored section

I could care less about the Royal Family and the term "working royal" - it's ridiculous. Being "royal" is just a ceremonial role. They don't rule anything. Yes, the Queen has history, when she dies, everybody else is just the offspring. As John Oliver stated, "it's sillyness." Was not interested in Harry/Meghan coverage, BUT, after seeing all the hate and petty criticism, especially from British papers, royal pundits, her pathetic excuse for a father and the obsessive rantings of Piers Morgan, I now feel sorry for both of them. All the daily UNWARRANTED toxicity aimed at them, is beyond crazy!

Remember when the Sussex hate-trolls were posting here that her pregnancy was fake?

They reference that theme in the attached article.

Food for thought.

What comes around, goes around, Possum.

Just from the posts I've seen on DL, I absolutely believe this story to be true.

I've read more of these posts, and yeah, it gets into some next level hatred. It's bizarre, but Meghan is far from the only one. Armie Hammer, his wife, John Hamm, and his girl friends or whatever they are to him, and quite a few others. There really is a very fucking weird group of people online that target certain people on-line. I don't really care about any of the people I've just mentioned, other than in the general sense, but I very much care that a group of internet lunatics are allowed to get away with the shit they've been getting away with in terms of harassing anyone is something I very much care about. I sincerely hope these people are taken down.

Hate is a strong word...I just think both of them are idiots. She really wants to be Oprah and he really is dumb and needy.

And, no one paid me to write that.

And that's fine, r51. You don't have to like them, or anyone else. But building an entire life around hating one particular couple is when it gets bizarre.

Of the posters I've just blocked, one has posted 20 comments trashing the Harkles this evening, another one 15, another one 25.

The volume of vitriol is the distressing part.

How big is this Twitter group? From the numbers quoted by OP, extremely small. They can't have that much power. The only ones who would care are H&M themselves. Most people are NOT on twitter and aren't affected by their tweets, or by the Sussex's p.r. team (and farm) that holding up the other side. No one cares.

R46, you are a shameless liar. I have barely ever posted about Meghan and Harry or the Alec Baldwin incident. You know that and anyone who checks can see that.

No one, r54? No one cares?

[quote]From the numbers quoted by OP, extremely small.

83 accounts coordinating trolling activity among 187,000 followers?

Keep fucking that chicken.

The anti Harry and Meghan trolls are unstoppable, they come into threads about their trolling behavior and try to dispute that anyone is trolling! Find a hobby or something.

I suspect they are behind a number of different hate groups, although they will defy this claim by pointing their fingers wherever and whenever they can. I also suspect this is their hobby.

You must be unfamiliar with Bouzy who's a hustler. He works for celebs who get criticized on twitter and tries to get accounts closed down if they're mean to his clients.

R57 That is an extremely small number compared to the average number of daily (or even monthly) Twitter users, IMO.

I think the majority of the comments in this thread proves the point.

It would be great to have the hate loons ejected from this site.

Why are the people bitching about the people who dislike Harry and Meghan so invested in the topic? Just don't read the threads.

And the funny thing is they don't really say anything. Yes, the tabloids lie everyday and print, "harry and meghan are demanding to have their daughter baptized in England"

They didn't say that. They didn't say a single word. The tabloids said it. And it was a complete and utter lie. And of course the tabloids had to retract that a week later

Not a single word was said by Harry or Meghan. They seem to be locked up in their house. But the Klan Granny trolls are all, "they said this, they said that"

[quote] Why are the people bitching about the people who dislike Harry and Meghan so invested in the topic? Just don't read the threads.

Because we've been on this site for 25 years. And you silly fools always drift out of these threads and post your bullshit on the other threads. Keep this bullshit on one thread. We're tired of seeing all of them

And I get that r63, and I generally agree, but every so often I just get curious, what the hell is the deal with these people and this one relatively powerless couple? What is this obsession? Why? And honestly it doesn't happen often, but every so often, like tonight, I get fascinated by it all over again. Why are these two the Antichrists that some people have decided to settle on?

I hope r4's post is satire... WTF would anyone pay a troll to post about these two grifters?

I think the defenders of your hate underestimate the issues some of us have with what you have been doing and getting away with. You are disgusting, and I hope your days are numbered. No, I do not work for Sunshine Saks or whatever "firm" these people allegedly hire for the PR in your deranged minds.

As soon as I see the words “Klan Granny” in a post I block the poster. Nevertheless it seems that this lunatic has multiple sock puppets as he keeps reappearing to tell other people that THEY are obsessed.

Sad.

Why the fuck would gay men give a shit about a d-list cable show "actress" who's a pathological liar and her husband Carrot Top? the DL is a site for bitchiness so the psycho MegStans need to fuck off back to Lipstick Alley.

Bunch of homophobic bitches.

Honestly, r70, I don't know. Why do people care so intently about this couple, including those that hate them with a white hot passion? Why is that?

Nobody hates them, R71. This illusion of hate is in your mind. They're just disliked.

r71 nobody hates them but the vast majority of people hold them in contempt as spoiled entitled whiny brats

Above average looks r16?? You need glasses. She was a 5 on a good day in her prime.

bullshit, r72, some people have a truly intense hatred of them. No doubt. Some absolutely hate them and post relentlessly about them. Yes, some, probably most, simply dislike them, but there is also definitely a segment that hates them intensely. You are lying if you truly are trying to say that is not the case.

People come after celebrities for all sorts of reasons. Armie Hammer IS a nutter and his wife is a fame whore. Jon Hamm is a big dicked drunk who lucked into a dream role who also has a rather horrifiying incident from his past.

I mean, taking down celebrities for awful behavior is one of the perks for being a peasant.

The vast majority of people are completely indifferent to them, one way or another, r73.

Frankly, this "Twitter Data" story really sounds like Team Sussex desperately trying to portray themselves as innocent victims.

Meanwhile, despite the fact they've "separated" from the British Royal Family to be free and independent and to lead lives as...social influencers or whatever the fuck they want to be, they've yet to actually accomplish anything other than make lots of deals that seem to go no where and make the occassional awkward public appearance promoting the fact they really have no purpose. At least in US society. In the UK, they had a role but they didn't want to do it because they wanted to be on an equal footing with Royals who have more clout.

This dumb story is really just an excuse for their failure to make a success of their "freedom".

Coordinated haters aren't the reason why these two are failures.

But why? How does any of that effect you or life in any way? It's really out of control the way some of these people are followed and obsessed over online.

Don't forget that a lot of us have been under Covid restrictions, working from home, etc., and have way more knowledge on these topics than they'd like to have.

So don't lie.

am r79 and was referring to r76

I told you guys this was happening. It's a hit job plain and simple.

shrugs. I don't actually think that many people obsess over celebrities. Yes, there are nutters out there but the vast majority of people on DL are just having fun talking shit about famous assholes.

It goes way beyond that, and you know it.

OK...it's a vast conspiracy of millions of people trying to unjustly take down rich famous assholes.

Feel better now?

No, it's a small minority of lunatics that have been catered to for long enough.

The stupid squad are the ones who are getting paid. They admitted it publicly. They are also behind a number of violent threats to people including death threats. All encouraged and sanctioned by the lunatic Harry foolishly married.

Isn't social media just hate fueled in general? I don't think Harry and Meghan have the market cornered. I mean you express any kind of opinion on social media half the responses are going to be people telling you to kill yourself (or something along those lines). Specially regarding Harry and Meghan, people who post anything negative about them are flamed as racist, paid trolls...both sides are just as nutty. It's not that I dislike Meghan but I just don't care and they are way too overexposed. I have a hard time believing 55 people are responsible for their popularity tanking in the UK.

The Sussex trolls are trying to convince everyone that only 55 people dislike them and they're otherwise insanely popular.

On average, Twitter has 206 million users a day. It's hard to quantify how tiny this "coordinated campaign of hate" is. Harry & Meghan should be celebrating, since virtually no one is tweeting nasty things about them.

Look, I'm all for taking down the monarchy but Harry and Meghan are soooooo obvious in their self-importance and perpetual need to feel victimized. People who don't see, IMHO, are just as stupid as Trumpists, it's a fucking personality cult.

Virtually all of their claims have been verified as false or grossly over exaggerated.

This Twitter thing is just another example of their ridiculousness. 55 accounts are attacking a couple of middle aged millionaires who live in 15 bedroom mason while schools kids are being bullied online daily with some committing suicide. They should totally give Harry and Meghan a noble prize. I'm only a matter of time before they campaign for Noble Prize like Trump I'm sure.

I love how Meghan introduced herself on a youtube video reading her books: "Hi I'm The Duchess of Sussex and this is my book that I wrote about my husband and my son."

What's wrong with that R91?

R92 I guess it's just a contrast to Kate and William who tell children to just call them Will or Catherine.

R90 what's dumb is thinking Harry and Meghan have a "cult" which requires people actually paying attention to them. The only people who pay attention to them are the Grannies. No one else would know what they say or do. Trump is dangerous therefore people pay attention. No one is verifying or fact checking H&M because they aren't that important except to you and the grannies.

No one pays attention to either of those couples R93 so how would one know or care what she says or doesn't say.

R94 thanks for proving R90's point. Clearly you pay attention to them or you wouldn't be posting lol!

Lol there are no Sussex trolls. You don't get it, do you?

Anyway, nice to see who the Royal trolls are. All the good for ignoring.

R97 There are no sussex trolls, says the sussex troll....when I blocked this person half the thread disappeared LOL.

[quote]SOME PEOPLE think that She's just not popular, and SOME people see her for the phony grifter she is. NOT ALL

FIXED

R92, I don’t think anyone with an aristocratic or royal title introduces herself using the title. It sounds crass, and it implies that you are worried people don’t know that you are “significant.”

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Does anyone really care R100?

R101 I agree, or make a donation or send healthy food or something. Apparently this one of the poorest schools in LA. But I guess she probably has a basement full of these books to off load.

R100 So apparently the proper etiquette is that your refer to yourself either solely by your name or your title but not both. So either you would say "Meghan" or "Duchess of Sussex" but not both. In the UK it's considered snobby to refer to yourself by your title except for the Queen or Prince of Wales. Younger royals never refer to themselves by their title" it's William, Catherine, Harry (pre-Meghan), Eugenie, Beatrice etc." I mean you would never here the Queen going "Hi I'm Elizabeth, By the Grace of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and over my other Realms and Territories, Queen. Head of the Commonwealth. Defender of the Faith."

That’s correct, R104. By a similar convention if for example, the Duke of Northumberland wrote a letter to The Times, or used his signature anywhere, it would be simply “Northumberland”.

Taking it a step further, if HRH The Duke of Gloucester signs anything it is simply “Richard” - his first name.

R100, she is worried that people don't think she's significant. That's why she has to remind everyone that she's the Duchess of Sussex even though she loathes the Royal Family that gave her this title.

[quote]It's not that I dislike Meghan but I just don't care and they are way too overexposed. I have a hard time believing 55 people are responsible for their popularity tanking in the UK.

Well exactly. They are ALWAYS so victimized, all the time. Everyone is always out to get them, out to tarnish their star, diminish their image, yadda yadda yadda. Like they don't do a decent job at that all by themselves.

This whole bots 'investigation' sounds like a deflection from some bad news forthcoming, which won't be positive for H&M. News from the bullying inquest, maybe -?

R107, a Twitterverse rumor has it that Meghan wants to prove to top-line brands that she is not divisive, that all of the online criticism is just a plot by a few people and that otherwise everyone loves her.

The idea that the Markle trolls on here don't also post in other threads is wrong.

They frequently also start threads saying the COVID vaccine is dangerous, they start anti-trans threads and racebait threads, and they complain about "wokeism" in any political thread they see.

Twitter's Markle trolls are accounts dedicated to one topic. On DL, because it's so hard to tell who is who, they just use one account to post about ALL their rightwing talking points.

One Markle troll accused me of having posted something like 100 times in one thread to defend Meghan. When asked, they couldn't find ONE reply of mine that defended her, let alone 100. I put them on ignore and within a week saw someone pointing out they were redtagged. I looked and it turned out they had posted just TONS of threads about "lazy immigrants taking our jobs" and "blacks spreading COVID because they're too stupid to understand vaccines" but also "the vaccine has killed hundreds and the NIH is lying about it," all sorts of shit.

It is really not that hard to find this out for yourself. Just look and it's right there.

Real DLers (and not the Markle trolls) should take the time to download the Bot Sentinel report. They have example tweets of these Twitter accounts talking at length about Markle being a yacht girl. Sound familiar?

Just because she's an adventuress it doesn't follow that Markle is necessarily not the cunt she is.

Get over it.

But WHY would "bots" be going after someone so insipid and unimportant?

You paying attention to this shit, Muriel?

alas, aging d-list starlet golddiggers are not a protected species on the DL... au contraire, they are an ideal target for our wrath

Meghan Markle is the 2020s version of trying to make "fetch" happen.

Awhile back I watched that Disney Elephant documentary she narrated. An incredibly harsh speaking voice and that interminable "upspeak" accent. If I hadn't known who was narrating, I would've wondered who at Disney was getting fired for casting such an inappropriate voice actress. It was thoroughly unpleasant to listen to.

There's a million of them and yet only one that you spam the board about, r113.

R110, real DLers don't give a fuck about the Markle grifter and the latest grifter (yes, another grifter) jumping on the bandwagon trying to make a few bucks by coming up with a ridiculous list of Twitter accounts.

R116, really?

You're obviously not a real DLer, hun.

Now fuck off back to Mumsnet or wherever you Markle fangirls tend to meet to drool over your obnoxious heroine.

[quote]Now fuck off back to Mumsnet or wherever you Markle fangirls tend to meet

Wow. This is so obviously written by someone trying and failing to sound like a regular that I'm surprised you didn't say "go back to iVillage." Embarrassing.

Your posting history is nothing but hundreds of replies about how Meghan Markle sucks and how everyone you dislike is on the Sunshine Sachs payroll.

One of these anti-Markle people just started the thread claiming black Americans are lazy.

I bet if discussion of Markle was no longer allowed here, these people would leave to find another place to post their slime.

Somebody tell Miss Priss of Markledom to fuck off.

"We're not trolls!" they say as they FF the OP so much the post is grayed out, even when you're on Asbestos Eyeballs.

Yawn.

r123 so a real Canadian news outlet had already reported on Meghan's troll farm back in 2019. Interesting.

Oh yeah, we posted that MacLean's article a lot back when it came out in 2019, and the trolls FFed the threads so much that they were deleted. They're FFing this thread, too, but there's fewer trolls and/or sockpuppets, so it's not gone yet, but they clearly had a goal of deleting any mention of proof that the Markle trolls are an organized series of accounts, bots and "cyborgs."

You can still find a few mentions of it here and there, like "Queen Allegedly Orders William and Harry to be Separated" and "Is what is really driving Prince Harrys anger that deep down he is kicking against his becoming increasingly irrelevant?" thread, the OP of which is in THIS thread insisting bots would never go to the trouble of attacking Meghan because she's unimportant.

R114 LOL omg that is so true.

Look I have nothing against Harry or Meghan, I actually preferred them to William and Catherine, but this idea that a small group of nut jobs in social media represent the majority opinion is crazy. Meghan is not popular, sorry and I'm guessing I'll be labelled a racist now, but it's the truth. The fact is most people aren't idiots and can see that despite their claims of wanting to lead private lives, of escaping the "brutal" UK press, they are constantly seek publicity. Then there's the fact that they preach compassion while neither one speaks to any member of their families (while publicly shading them) and have ghosted virtually all their friends. There is a desperate campaign to "make Meghan" happen and it's just not working because all the seem to have is clinging on to their royal connections. There is nothing special about either one of them. Harry is dumb as rocks, and Meghan is a former cable actress who, allegedly, barely made it through university. Nothing wrong with that, but the walking around like their farts don't stink routine has worn out.

[quote]this idea that a small group of nut jobs in social media represent the majority opinion is crazy

Nobody said that. I'm not sure you even understand what this thread is about.

The rest of your post is just another Meghan hater rant. So many of you guys begin your replies with "I don't really care" or "I don't really hate her" and then the hate gets away from you, you can't even control yourselves, and the next thing you know you've listed a dozen reasons why you hate her guts even though you just tried to say you don't even really care.

R127 Dude do yourself a favour and check your blood pressure. You need to learn the difference between hate and legitimate criticism of someones character and actions.

R128 Your wasting your breath there. R127 is a pro-Meghan nut is no better than the anti-Meghan nuts. He's just too dumb not realize he's busy doing what he's accusing the other side of doing. There is nothing hateful in R126's post but you're right that people have lost the ability to understand the difference between actual hate and justifiable criticism.

Are you really unable to tell that you're the one who went on a rant, r128, and all I did was mention it?

OMG R130 you have posted about 95% of the pro-Meghan rants in this thread. Sit down already. You're seriously going to pop a blood vessel.

This all started when she carried that Dior bag in NYC. Her reps were pushing for a Dior campaign, going so far as to have the "squad" post pictures in droves of Dior bag purchases with captions like, "Look what fedex just delivered! It's awesome being a squaddie!" The problem with that was the "squad" could never afford these bags and ended up posting photos from blogs belonging to other people. They were called out and humiliated. In the end, they claimed they were only joking, further embarrassing themselves and MM. Even Scabies got called out for claims that the Dior bag sold out after being carried by MM. People pointed out to him that the bag had been sold out way before MM was photographed carrying the bag. In conclusion, Dior said no thank you and narc rage ensued. That is when this farce of an investigation started.

I love that the Aussie media doesn't give two fucks about being "woke" and aren't afraid of criticizing Meghan.

R133, hahahahahaha, this is just great. Thanks for the laugh.

[quote]There is nothing hateful in R126's post

You ARE r126, stop pretending otherwise.

R135 No you are, no you are, ...... dear lord woman.

French media also mocking her

Muriel doesn't give a shit r112. Not about this teenage level crap FFS.

What's going on with her chin area? Did she edit the video ala Kardashians?

Wow.

Camilla Tominey is most likely lying.

I’m a Princess, a Duchess and a Countess. That’s three royal things all at once

R133, they do not give a fuck. Aussies have no time for her bullshit. She must have really done a number during their tour Down Under.

Twitter has shot down Buzzfeed's allegation this morning. They have said that the identified four accounts that were spreading hateful messages about Meghan (most of which had less than 100 followers) and they have been suspended but there was no evidence of any coordinated campaign against Meghan on Twitter.

r144 link please

R145 I think this this is what R144 is referring to

I once lost my twittter account after criticizing Julian Assange. I got a massive pile-on from his troll farm. Maybe Meghan bought up the Assange trolls. They must be at loose ends these days.

It wasn't Buzzfeed's allegation, it was Bot Sentinel's.

Twitter says that the 55 accounts identified were real people and not bots, and they only suspended 4 of them. That's not the same thing as saying Bot Sentinel was wrong.

R148 the implication by Buzzfeed was that these 55 accounts were behind a coordinated "Attack" to spread hate against Meghan. Twitter has looked into and said not there is no evidence of coordination. Also, Twitter stated that comments made by the accounts they did not suspend were not hateful or racists.

Only 55 people hate Meghan Markle? I find that hard to believe. I bet at least 55 of her neighbors hate her.

What happened to the psycho MeghanStan who was going to have the DL shut down for being mean to the Megster?

Sorry, Smegs.

Our Megs has always been a desperate loser and it is hilarious watching her fail spectacularly on the global stage.

[quote]Why are the people bitching about the people who dislike Harry and Meghan so invested in the topic? Just don't read the threads.

Because the threads have taken up half the traffic on Datalounge. Next stupid question?

Wtf are you babbling about R132?

New report about racist youtube Klanners. From Newsweek:

"The Mystery & Middle East Connections of #meghanmarkle," Yankee Wally said: "I didn't think Dodi al-Fayed was good looking at all in fact I thought he was rather awful looking. He had that billiard ball head.

"Nappy hair, I don't like that. And you know, you just know they're gonna be covered in hair all over their body a bit like, you know, an ape and I really, really don't like that either."

Below average looks r16.

The article says 457 MILLION people viewed these main three anti Meghan YouTube accounts. 457 MILLION! She is globally loathed by her own data!

Poor Megster!!! They are so mean to that angel sent from heaven to bless the bed of Friar Tuck.

Apparently the guy who was overseeing this so-called into investigation into alleged coordinated attacks against Meghan was recently apparently outed as a misogynistic nut job, who allegedly filed for bankruptcy recently. Several recent stories about these supposed anit-meghan bots have been pulled from sites like Newsweek and People.

Honestly r39 what the fuck has she REALLY done that makes her the absolute worst since Hitler? What in the actual fuck has Meghan done to Harry and the BRF that makes you think listing her race as the real reason for her disdain by you people is so preposterous?

R162 She’s a lying user, so there’s that.

Doing anti-Meghan/Harry stuff is definitely a business model; it ensures clicks. There are all kinds of fan service or hate videos on the internet, but the M&H ones can get huge because their fame is huge and so, I guess, is the dislike of them. And their fame includes royalty and rags to riches and family dynamics; it's catnip for fraus.

They've infamous, not famous. Well, Meghan is lol. I was also wrong, it was 497 million not 457 million views. She is a horrible user and bully. Extremely self important, mean and vile. People love watching her fail. She brings it on herself.

Well you're half-right, R161.

[quote]When I announced BotSentinel.com would research and release data on the accounts targeting Meghan Markle, I was warned by several people that these accounts would begin relentlessly attacking me. Within hours of making the announcement, the attacks started...

[quote]They believe it's their "right" to vilify and attack a Black woman for having the audacity to marry a White prince, and they will go after anyone who dares defend Meghan. It's not just targeted harassment and a sustained smear campaign; it's a modern-day lynch mob...

[quote]And when the dust settles, you will still be cowardly trolls whose "claim to fame" was...

[quote]*checks notes*

[quote]...trolling.

[quote]You do nothing of value, and no one will care to remember you. The only thing you would have accomplished is to show the world just how pathetic you are.

Sweetie, we come here to blow off steam and gossip. Cowardly perfectly describes Meghan though. SUCH a pathetic desperado and literally hundreds of millions of people laughing at her. This is how history will remember her, if at all.

These trolls must have stroked out over Bridgerton.

[quote] There is a strong link between Meghan haters, fox viewers or trump supporting insurrectionists, Brexit supporters in the U.K. and royal family supporters. These are often the same groups of people or share a closely linked set of values.

I agree

So having standards is bad now. Of course it is.

R166 Bouzy's a joke. Though I think he originally intended to target political trolls from outside the US interfering in our elections, evidently that didn't pay so he seems to have segued into working for publicists by trying to control the narrative on twitter for their clients. He was working for Amber Heard trying to 'protect' her reputation on twitter against obsessed Depp fans and now he seems to work for Meghan.

His 'bot detector' doesn't even work because if you check out an account through his allegedly fool-proof bot detector, any account that tweets primarily about politics (which is most accounts on twitter) will come up as a 'suspicious bot account'.

He has no access to where the accounts posting actually are located so his original raison d'etre - to find Russians pretending to be Americans to influence politics - doesn't work.

If you get enough trolls together complaining about a twitter account, twitter will close it down. The Yang Gang were specialists at this during the Democratic primary. So it isn't like he has any influence at twitter, he doesn't. Ironically, Meghan's "Sussex Squad" is pretty transparently a troll farm run by her publicists.

But it’s obvious that their haters have something going on…too obvious. Just admit it and move on…

I'm not the biggest believer of Lady C's but this is a very interesting catch.

Give it up r173. You're not going to win here.

Why would anyone listen to that freak Lady Campbell?

Lady Campbell being so honest about certain conspiracies with Sunshine Sachs, why hasn't "she" been honest about her sex at birth?

Had Meghan been a bigger celebrity or a well-known actress prior to marrying Harry, it might have saved her a lot of misery. She would have understood how the paps and the tabloids function. Her only contact with the media or the 'public' was through the publicists on Suits who, of course, were paid to fawn over her in the hopes some audience somewhere would know she existed and watch the show. I think too the British royal family probably thought she was better known than she was. The UK doesn't have 9 million cable channels and I suppose the average Brit would assume if an actor is on a TV series, they are famous (in their country). A supporting player on a BBC series is famous in the UK at least.

Meghan must have thought that all her media coverage would echo her publicist's fawning press releases. So it must have been a shock for her to discover the tabloids don't play by the rules. Had a more famous actress married into the Royal family, she would have known what she was in for. Had Harry married a black Brit, she too would have realized that the best policy with the tabs is to ignore them. Sooner or later they'll pick out another victim and move on. Antagonizing them just ensures they'll never leave you alone. And suing them is suicidal.
