Harassment

On October 14th, 2018, BonbiBonkers broadcast a final livestream on TikTok expressing sadness and frustration with having to leave social media due to safety concerns (shown below).

The following day, YouTuber Lord Zoomer uploaded a video claiming that BonbiBonkers had been targeted by users on 4chan's /wsg/ board and users on the Russian 2ch board /fag/ in a doxing campaign, leading to the removal of the BonbiBonkers social media feeds (shown below). Additionally, the video highlighted clips of BonbiBonkers edited with footage of Ricardo Milos dancing. The following day, the /r/BonbiBonkers^[3] subreddit was launched for discussions about the cosplayer.
