Their respective phenomena only grew, leading to further interest and curiosity. This type of episode has been likened by some to be identical to that of the Garbo Effect, which refers to the event of curiosity brewing once a famous person wants to keep his or her life private.
Greta Garbo was mistakenly quoted as saying, "I want to be alone. Greta was thought to be a very mysterious person.
She didn't give any interviews, she didn't go out to the red carpet premiers of any of her films, and she wasn't seen in public very often. Back then, studios encouraged their stars to be seen and photographed in public as often as possible, since famous actors and actresses made for big money at the box office.
She refused to participate in such behavior, preferring to keep her private life to herself. Because of this, people had an even greater desire to know what she did behind closed doors. There was much speculation about her, none of which could be confirmed or denied, since she never spoke about it. Long before the days of insane paparazzi, she was stalked by people with cameras. A similar phenomenon was observed in the tragic case of Princess Diana of Wales.
The more that Diana ran and hid, the more the paparazzi wanted more pictures and stories of her. In life, there will always be people who either like you or hate you. On the Net, nothing is sacred. Both sides may wind up destroying you. Anonymous showed the true extent of their power and capabilities in hacking and spreading Catie's personal information, as they did with the girls who came before her, save for Amber Lamps. It's vital that you be careful with what you post on the Net.
Think twice about who you add or accept on social networking sites, especially if you barely know someone. Make sure that absolutely nobody could ever possibly guess your passwords, except for you, of course. Think before sharing any personal information with people in chat rooms, or even putting up seemingly harmless bits of information on any online profile of yours. Every single item that you post leaves a trail of data. Eventually, a profile of yourself may be built up for the wrong hands to utilize.
The chapters of BoxxyGate lead one to wonder about what freedom really exists for people on the Net. Anything that you do can be replicated, altered, and propagated infinitely, such that you can rapidly lose any semblance of further control over your online affairs.

However, just as many have suspected, Lia Dawson turned out to be a troll. Boxxy fans raged. On , the YouTube account Boxybabee had been suspended. Circa 9 p. On June 17th, , Catie uploaded a video to her bodaciousboxxy channel that mimics the hyperactive Boxxy character from her original videos that became popular on 4chan two years prior.
Following a year-long absence, she returned in late and notified everyone, va much posting, that she had come back. At the end of the first week in , Cate altered her user name to the simpler form now known as Boxxy and began recording her first two videos.
The video came about as the result of a promise that she had made to him and was intended to be a simple and amusing shout-out using her extremely hyperactive onscreen persona, Boxxy.
The remainder of the video consisted of Boxxy talking at some length about the way that she and 4DD1 interacted online, the fact that she overused black eye liner, and that if she knew anyone else on Gaia, all that he or she had to do was ask and she would make a separate shout-out video for them. However, she revealed that Ant was the first person who she had ever met on Gaia.
She digressed to describe how Ant and others frequented the notorious site 4chan, how Ant's avatars were very intriguing, and even drew an angry cartoon face with black and red markers to be a depiction of Ant. This was the video wherein another one of Catie's friends was mentioned: Pocky. Boxxy gossiped in an indiscreet manner about Ant and Pocky's relationship and that it had ended. This same Pocky later became a source of interest to various members of 4chan and was again referenced in Catie's third video.
Upon close examination of Catie's first video, Boxxy is clad in a black, short-sleeved T-shirt with the Aqua Teen Hunger Force Mooninite characters, Ignignokt and Err, on the front with a gold chain prominently displayed around her neck. Her dark brown hair was cut in a shoulder-length pageboy bob with the edges flipped out; a barely discernible, black Alice band kept her parted bangs from falling on her face.
Along with fairly heavy makeup applied to her pale complexion, thick lines of kohl encircled her eyes. What made her stand out even more was that she was seated in what appeared to be a darkened, cluttered office, as evidenced by the printer in the background to her left, with the glow of the computer screen being the only light source.
This had the peculiar effect of drawing attention to her face; the eyes in particular. In her second video, Catie wore a white, cotton T-shirt with a silver necklace and pendant around her neck. Her bob was suddenly a lighter brown and her skin tone changed from pale to a distinctive shade of buff. Even though it was still winter in many parts of North America, the fact that Catie was suddenly sporting both a lighter hair color and a darker skin tone seemed to indicate that she lived in a state which still received large amounts of sun and heat.
The two said videos were uploaded to her YouTube account under the user name BoxxyBabe. Records indicate that her last log-in on both Gaia and YouTube took place between the months of February and April Within twenty-four hours, the comments page was filled with over comments across eight pages.
Only adding to the intrigue already surrounding Boxxy, the video then strangely disappeared without a trace or explanation. The authors of this blog find it very likely that Catie herself was the one who posted and subsequently removed the embed on the site.
Screen shots of the video began appearing on the well-known image board 7chan coupled with fervent discussions about who the girl was and if whether she was afflicted with any ailments such as Attention Deficit Disorder or Tourette's Syndrome based upon her jerky, hyperactive manner.
An anonymous user then embedded a copy of the video on the near identical image board 4chan. Those who could sit through the whole video without flipping out in a fit of annoyance or simply give up were labeled as experts.
Many present at that time described the whole escapade as "the most insane display we've ever seen on YouTube" and "the cutest girl we've ever seen. The initiative left some people bewildered.
To them, it made no sense for people to go to such lengths to harass and destroy someone who had done no one any harm whatsoever and who had not been active in any of her accounts for nearly a year. They disliked this strange obsession. With some quick detective work, two photographs were located and taken from her Gaia friends' Photobucket accounts. That was all that they had ever managed to find.
Operation Valkyrie was a failure, like its real-life counterpart. Nothing had been found; no MySpace, no email, and no Facebook, aside from several charlatans. Boxxy's location was still quite obscure. Others suggested Florida, or even Australia. Trying to pinpoint her accent was of no help either.
The majority consensus seemed to be that she was "anywhere down the West Coast," England, or any of the Eastern European states such as Poland and Bulgaria in particular. Argument as to whether or not this person was merely a look-alike troll ensued. Boxxy's YouTube channel disappeared, and her Gaia account was rendered inaccessible except to her friends later that same day. Did Catie step in, or had Operation Valkyrie secretly succeeded in hacking into her online accounts to shut them down?
No one knew. Was this another troll account, or had the real Boxxy returned? The next day, Boxxy's new video was uploaded onto the channel as promised. Her complexion was now a creamy white, and her eyeliner style had changed slightly, now extending a bit further down in the corner, giving her a slightly cat-like appearance.
She had been watching the entire thing the whole time. Clearly, she enjoyed the attention. Over 70, views had accumulated within twelve hours, subsequently elevating it to the home page as the most viewed video of the day on YouTube. The next day, the video had reached number one, with more than , views, coupled with hundreds of subscribers every single hour. On January 12, YouTube celeb Philip DeFranco included footage of Boxxy in the intro of his new video and even used her face as the thumbnail.
Entirely ignorant of the back story, a wave of viewers sent from Philip commented with messages such as, "Wow, sxephil made you popular. Thank him in a video! The vast majority of viewers were clueless as to what Boxxy was talking about in her third video. A separate video explaining the subject matter was uploaded onto the channel SeanBoy80 and is now mirrored on TheBoxxyPhenom.
Boxxy's revived popularity was the spark that the oldfag community had been waiting for to wage a cyber-war on the newfag community. All of the Boxxy threads were under a virtual blitzkrieg, reminiscent of when the Nazis had carpet-bombed the city of London during World War II. On January 10, with Boxxy's videos and channel rapidly approaching , views and 10, subscribers, Boxxy haters then took a new approach which could be considered a form of terrorism with the now-infamous Operation Clampdown, a watershed in 4chan's history.
Although the means to carry out, motives for, and targets of such an attack may vary, it generally consists of the concerted efforts of a person or people to prevent the targeted site or service from functioning efficiently, or at all.
It may be either temporary or permanent. As the time of the strike neared, the instigators got ready by posting messages with several bad programs open as the clock ticked down. Soon after, the entirety of 4chan became slow, with pages taking minutes to open.
Then, it subsequently crashed, resulting in a white page. It was like a Net version of a Japanese kamikaze mission, with the Boxxy haters deciding to annihilate everyone and everything. Fatalysm Topdog Mikey 0.
I think she's just an annoying chanwhore. Freaking tired of her. Posted January 19, edited. Come one, come all. Feel the story. Feed on the story. All information is true. Sryen 0. Posted January 20, We did not do this just to get "e-cred" for hacking into some internet celebrity's Youtube account. Its motive was to achieve psychological dominance over the "Boxxy" persona by scaring the person behind it, using scare tactics.
I have not grown to sympathize with her; rather I have just grown to not despise her. Her videos were a "cancer" of sorts, hence why we removed them and did everything we could to make sure they wouldn't be put up again,. Falcon 1. Poor here Another famous Youtube person?
