Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.
If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.
Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.
Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.
Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.
Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.

anyway, i assumed it would be a few simulated cuts but damn the photos at the end show she was really going for broke. what a horror show.
maserati SUV, $200k unsecured bond, and rutgers law all says "rich family" to me, but i don't even know if there even exists cosmetic surgery to mitigate some of that.
i don't even know where to go with the motivation for this level of self mutilation. like self-flaggelation from religious excitation for the trump cult?
That and more.
The premeditated scarification design includes part of the head and ear, not things which are easy to hide, and quite frankly the operational discipline of this hoax is embarrassing, in contrast to the sheer dedication and the extent of the hoax itself. Plus the Daily Beast article mentions they'd subscribed to body modification and scarification communities, so I agree with @Blakey and others that this seems like a rationale (I use that term very loosely) to express an underlying harm kink.
yeah, that contrast is legit wild. like if there was any part of this hoax i would half ass, it would be the actual self-mutilation & permanent disfigurement and not the part where i cover my tracks.
Unsecured bond means that she didn't need to pay any money, if I understand it correctly.
Yep, only has to pay if she skips her court date(s).
