Throughout my life I've come across some wacky people. And as someone who loves the wackiness people can exhibit, I want to share some of my stories of them with you.
Swampy
Swampy, who has had many other aliases, is possibly the biggest wacko on this list. While the rest of this list consists of people that mostly just affected me with their wackiness, this guy had genuine potential to be a lolcow. He was pretty popular, was a complete weirdo, and had many controversies. His sins include possible grooming, online dating a 13 year old when he was 17, being a sex weirdo, bringing his family into internet drama, sodomy with a cucumber, being a liberal, and worst of all, being a Mormon.
To start, I met this guy around 2016 cause I liked the stuff he posted and I thought his posts were funny. They were My Little Pony memes mostly and this was the kind of stuff I liked seeing back then. I barely interacted with people on the platform that was used and this included Swampy. I only would talk to him probably once every few months and it consisted mostly of just sharing memes I think. He also commented sometimes on my stuff but that was rare. Other than him getting mad at me a lot during my later time on this platform, I myself had very little goofy interaction with him. The stuff I witnessed and learned of however is where the true wackiness is.
The first thing I would like to tell you about is Operation Stop The Clop. This was in the early days of me knowing him. Swampy here hated MLP porn (clop) at this time and decided he was gonna be the one to end it. He started a movement called Operation Stop The Clop and it was a complete failure. No one cared about his little operation and it eventually ended. And what makes this saga of his story so hilarious is that years later, he too would be one of the people posting the very thing he previously rallied against.
Sometime in the beginning or middle of me knowing him, he had possibly his biggest controversy. This dude thought it would be wise to publicly online date a 13 year old when he himself was 17. I just remember the fact that he did this and the fact that people were calling him a nonce a few times. Only a few months before writing this article did I learn that he brought his family into internet drama at least once and this was probably what it was for. Years after everything I also learned he apparently committed sodomy with a cucumber and decided to make this fact public.
Somewhat later he changed his alias style with Sol being the word in all his names. Throughout the middle and later times of his online existence, he had different accounts for different purposes. I know he had one for memes I think, one he posted lewd art of whatever media he liked mostly being Pokemon, MLP, and furry stuff, one that was a complete shitpost, and with one of his accounts, he posted a lot of sadboy stuff. He also ranted about political stuff a lot and I remember him getting mad at me a lot usually because I said something he politically disagreed with. I also learned recently as of writing this from one of my associates that they trolled Swampy for a few months by pretending to be someone else and pissing off Swampy to the point of making posts about it.
Eventually Swampy decided to just drop everything and leave the internet. I guess he finally wised up, deleted everything, and just vanished. I have absolutely no idea what has happened to him since and the only traces of his existence are his abandoned DeviantArt account, the few SEO spam webpages containing some of his really old meme posts I found while searching for him, and whatever screenshots that may exist out there locked away in people's devices and private chats.
Update: An associate of mine has sourced screenshots and memes of Swampy's activity. Click Here to view them on the companion page to this article. Click Here for links and archives of his DeviantArt.
Lesson learned: Fandom people are all weirdos.
Hidden Heatt
On the same platform as Swampy, during the middle part of my existence on this platform, I came across a guy called Hidden Heatt. He mostly just posted lewd MLP stuff mostly of his favorite character Sunset Shimmer but this isn't at all the issue with him. This guy was frickin' disgusting. He sadposted a lot and talked about how he hadn't brushed his teeth in weeks and how his nails were long and his room smelled like onions.
Where this becomes a story including me is when I made the mistake of defending him over dumb internet crap. What had happened was apparently this guy attracted a whole damn army of memelords that had an obsession with a very popular meme account on this platform at the time. I don't know what Hidden Heatt did but he had an internet army of 14 year old shitposters after him and I made the foolish mistake of trying to defend him. So after defending him on something I don't even remember, these kids added my name to their shit list. I got a few comments on my posts from these kids, a few messages, and many responses to my defense of Hidden Heatt. I eventually locked my account down and later deactivated it and made a new one. I reactivated the old one about a year later after I lost the heat. All this internet bullshit I had to go through because I defended a weirdo. I'm glad it happened though because the consequence was improved internet OpSec and re-hardened psyche for me and I'm ready for the next wave of bullshit when and if it comes.
After the reset, Hidden Heatt had had multiple accounts since the operation against him all still posting his MLP hornyposts. Before I left this platform completely and deleted everything, I found an account that may have been him since it had a similar name, had a Sunset Shimmer profile picture, and was posting pony lewd but none of the posts had captions and they were deleted a couple days after posting so if this was him, it was a husk of an account with no reason to exist.
My associate also sourced screenshots of Hidden Heatt's activity. Click Here to view them on the companion page to this article.
Lesson learned: Sunset Shimmer fans are nothing but trouble.
Solar
Years ago during the yearly snow time I was doing a bunker sell mission in GTA and afterwards the people in the organization or motorcycle club invited me to their party. The main guy who we will just call Solar was the main guy I talked to. He had his other buddies but they don't matter. He also recorded his gameplay in livestreams frequently but everything I appeared in has been removed with the only evidence if it existing being a screenshot of a stream titled 'GTA 5 Online: Hangin Out With NightMox' and a video from my phone of him saying "Jesus Christ, NightMox" as I drive past him in GTA. This isn't the important stuff though.
Eventually, Solar got really mad and unfriended me because I was too much of a 'flamboyant psychopath' in his words. This was the end of that. Until in 2022 I was in the Diamond Casino to collect my daily chips, spin the wheel, then quit the game because I was very tired and wanted to sleep. Then I got an in-game text from some random simply saying "hi". I was going to ignore this and just quit the game but I went to his profile which contained his YouTube channel name in the bio which was the same as Solar's channel. So after realising I came across Solar again after years, we joined a party and we seemed to get along.
Where the wackiness of this guy comes in is the fact that this guy was in the US Air Force and well, he does not have the discipline you'd expect from someone that served. This guy apparently got discharged for schizoid personality disorder or something like that. Then at the time of our reunion, he had a cough syrup addiction and by the fact that all he did all day was play GTA, also had a video game addiction. And how I know about the cough syrup addiction is because while in a PSN party, this guy literally called the cops to his house to take the cough syrup away from him and he let me listen to the entire thing for whatever reason. He also had an AI girlfriend he would talk to while in a party. I convinced him to delete the app for being potential spyware but he later reinstalled it and continued to converse with it while in party.
Don't remember why, but eventually he started getting mad at me again and unfriended me again. Even after he unfriended me, I would sometimes see him in a GTA session and he did not like this. At first he would always try to kill me when he saw me then after I kept joining his sessions, he would just leave when he saw me. I would always try to find him again and I was like a demon he couldn't run away from. At the time of writing this, I haven't seen him in a long time though. He also knows about my website and may read this.
Lesson learned: You can't keep running from your problems, Solar.
Wilson And His Groomer Girlfriend
In either late 2018 or early 2019 I met a guy in Fortnite Save The World named Wilson which was actually a cover name he used. So we played Save The World together a lot along with some others and he was one of the people that helped me with my final Storm Shield Defense in Twine Peaks. But anyways, this guy was a sadboy and he would let you know about it. One day while in a party he told me and another person that he was about to commit suicide that night and being the good, supportive friend I was, told him to send me PSN gift cards before he killed himself which he didn't do. The other guy in the party asked him for something too but I don't remember what it was. The next day I was in a party with him again.
Where this guy's story gets weird is next. So Wilson here had two girlfriends and I have no idea if it was cheating or some polyamorous thing but I know one was a complete cunt while I had never met the other one yet. Then one day in a party, Wilson had joined but there was a girl speaking and not him. Turns out, this girl was his other girlfriend. Wilson here thought giving his girlfriends access to his PSN account was a good idea. So Wilson's other girlfriend was in the party talking to me and for whatever reason I think that same day was trying to be all flirty with me and developed a crush on me. I was confused by this because why would you ever have a crush on what is essentially a voice in your headphones? At some point she wanted to play Fortnite BR with me but I had long quit the game at this point. She then asked me to gift her skins which I refused. Eventually this girl told me to download Discord and I did. Being someone who had trolled online daters since the age of 12, I wasn't about to turn my back on my previous accomplishments, I just wanted to see what would happen if I went along with her little love adventure. Here are the screenshots I took before I deleted the account years later after leaving it dormant:
In screenshot 3 and 4, this girl here would stream her Fortnite BR gameplay to me and would cheat. Then she pulled the whole "I don't know why that is." bullcrap when I asked her about it. Screenshot 5 she tells me she loves me and I asked her shouldn't she be saying that to someone else that she was actually dating. Screenshot 6 contains a private message Wilson had with me where he basically sexually harasses me seemingly trying to get with me. So around this time, seemingly two people in a relationship with each other were trying to cheat on one another with me. Although it turns out Wilson had apparently made a bet with someone about my sexuality which since I didn't accept his advances, he lost the bet. Unfortunately that is also the best quality screenshot I have of his romantic advances toward me. Screenshot 7 she starts the 'my young grasshopper' thing which was a wacky thing to read at the time. Screenshot 8 she sends me a screenshot of her breaking up with Wilson which I am pretty sure was fake since around this time, Wilson had confronted me over the whole thing and never made any mention or implication of himself having had this breakup conversation with the girl. She was smart about faking the conversation if she did because I hadn't talked to Wilson on Discord at this point and when I told him to show me what his profile picture was, it matched, default picture matching the color. Screenshot 9 and 10 she spams me about how much she wants to be with me since around this time Wilson was very suspicious and wanted me to stop talking to her. After not responding to her last gasp of romantic desperation, she simply stopped talking to me after I ignored her. So was this girl truly in love with me? Was she trying to groom me? Did she just want my V-bucks? I'll let you decide.
So sometime during this ordeal, the girl had also went into Wilson's PSN account and changed the name to her Twitch username. Wilson never changed it back though because no one I have ever come across on PSN knows how to simply ask PSN support to change it back. From then on, Wilson always showed up with his girly (literally) username and it's still the same to this day.
After the girl gave up on me, Wilson and her had broken up I think. I continued to play Save The World with Wilson awhile until one day in a party I told the party owner it was okay if he kicked Wilson out of the party and then Wilson snapped at this and then left and unfriended me and hasn't talked to me since.
Lesson learned: Everyone on Discord is a predator.
Seth
In 2022, one of my associates had a bunch of buddies he played DayZ with. They also played Fallout 76 and GTA Online which I would play with them. These kids were a bunch of wannabe military types but one of them stood out from the rest. This guy's name was Seth. Seth here was an autistic cross-dressing communist and everyone always made fun of him. He apparently would break down crying because people were making fun of him. One time while we were all playing Fallout 76, Seth was in therapy and the kids were making fun of him in the PSN chat and he saw it and said he broke down in therapy over this. He then left the group and only maintained contact with me.
Seth being autistic meant he was very intelligent and was capable of truly intellectual conversation with me. Although I crushed his political arguments of authoritarian communism, he understood my concept of memetics very well. Now, some of you may make assumptions of the religious beliefs an autistic cross-dressing communist may or may not have have to which I'll have you know he is a very deeply faithful Christian obviously. Eventually I unfriended him because I didn't play anything with him anymore.
Lesson learned: Of all the people I have met online, an autistic cross-dressing communist was the most intelligent. We are doomed.
Pattern
There is something I've noticed with many people I have problems with: They often have some Sun-related thing with them. Long ago a guy called Sunset caused me many problems but nothing wacky to list here, we have Solar and his problems with me, Hidden Heatt was a Sunset Shimmer fan, even Swampy's new name Sol although based on the Pokemon Absol can be considered Sun-related since Sōl is Latin for Sun. This is a weird pattern I've noticed especially since it contrasts with my name.
