Digital Girl (LW) was a hoax

I don't understand why people ever feel the need to harass someone over lost media or a search, like that somehow is going to get results quicker, but honestly that gets into a bigger discussion about the topic.

In my opinion, after seeing this kind of thing happen time and time and time again, I would like to think that most of the harassment isn't from genuine community members and more from casuals or passerbys that either want to purposely disrupt a search or actually don't realize they're being annoying.

I can't speak for the lostwave community since I'm not in it, but I know with the Me and My Friends stuff, any damage that was done early on was not from anyone involved closely with the search or anyone that we knew about. So it had to be someone who heard about the topic and acted on their own.

And the Mario 64 screamer server was made on its own, without being directly associated with the lost media community, with the discord link posted publicly on the first post of the thread. In theory anyone passing through that thread could have come across it and chosen to destroy it.

Not that any of this means anything when a search has already been ruined. But I would like to think there really aren't as many troublemakers within our communities as we might believe, and that the general public opinion that the community collectively harasses people is not true.

Still this is why leads are kept so secretive nowadays, it's not to gatekeep within the community but to protect it from people outside of it.

I didn't really like this song TBH so I'm actually kinda glad this got outed as a hoax.

Today's moral boys and girls is that NOT ALL LOST MEDIA (AND LOSTWAVE) IS REAL!

you don't have to like something to help find something.

responding to the rude nature of the person that you quoted that they didn't need to tell us they didn't like something. We are here to help search for things and not just spread hate.

I think the worst part of this whole case is how many people are leaving the community and how people ignored there own rules to find lostwave. The community will need a restructuring 

This is what happens when you don't vet and moderate your community, friends. Take a good long look.

It's honestly sad that we're letting the old principles of lost media hunting get lost on this new generation. The last thing we need is more attention from bad actors. Heavens knows we got enough of that already.
