u/andreaplanbee hates posting Apr 26 '16

ok a real explanation:

Fake goth scandal

In 2016, she has repeatedly had people's accounts on Facebook banned for calling her a "fake goth".[18][19] Several hundred people have been banned from Facebook for posting the phrase 'Cathy Brennan is a fake goth' or variations thereof; in a perfect demonstration of the Streisand effect; this has resulted in the phrase 'Cathy Brennan is a fake goth' becoming a growing Internet meme that was shared publicly on Facebook approximately 45,000 times in the three days since the original incident.

She had also been a frequent columnist for Baltimore OUTloud's LGBTQ blog section, which she used to warn of the coming "lesbian annihilation" at the hands of "the queers" and trans people
