Questions to consider: How did you feel about the teenaged girl with her face-painted (00:24:45 and 00:26:07) talking about Pepe? What about 4chan users like Mills who felt as though his community had be violated by “normies” who were making fun of them and stealing their original content for their own social media feeds?

What about an individual? https://youtu.be/8qN_-F05HGM
