   #kickmarsgurl- Stop 4 years of targeted harassment from @MarzGurl
      MarzGurl believed the petition was started by FarahFatherless
         Farah apparently changed her name to “Anonymous User” after creating the petition
            MarzGurl calls out Change.org

The email we received from change.org about the removal of JT’s petition


   Anime Reviewer MarzGurl Accused of Sexually Assaulting Underage Boy at a Wild Party in LA — Shocking Details
      Proof that the Medium article was also FarahFatherless
   Apparently, FarahFatherless was seeing Vic Mignogna
      MarzGurl and her team of experts confirm the screenshots are authentic
         Why Farah’s spelling and grammar induces cancer
            She claims to be the president of the SoCal Cosplay Club
               She even brags about it on her LinkedIn
               Farah shares details about her relationship with Vic
                  Vic gave Farah his personal email at BakAnime
                     Which is so personal that it is publicly available on his website
                        MarzGurl begins to white knight for Farah
                           Vic was in a relationship with Haileigh Todd
                              ∟Remember when Vic shouted out Haileigh Todd at Anime Matsuri?


   Farah’s LinkTree
   Farah caves to MarzGurl’s narrative
   ∟Vic shouts out Jeff Johnson
