gollark: Well, it was mildly popular, then I decided to just boost it to the top of emojistats by using bots to post it loads.
gollark: Do you want to know why the chips thing is a thing?
gollark: We have <#457999277311131649> already.
gollark: Anyway, it's impractical to just not put any identifying information on the internet, and in any case blaming people you target for having it is victim-blaming and thus bees, and correlating public information to identify them still allows for evilness, and you should ask before stalking people or at the *very least* agree to stop stalking them if they ask you to.
gollark: I expect SOME of them like bad movies.
