[Fundraiser Goal]
The goal of this fundraiser is to make the living situation for all people involved safer, healthier, and free of harassment. We will stand together as a community and exercise legal right.
------------------------
[Backstory]
The Twitch channel 'cjayride' grew drastically in viewers since March of 2017, also making it a target of harassment and hate groups. After nearly 1-year of broadcasting IRL "In Real Life" adventures in Taiwan, the harassment towards CJ, friends, and family, has reached a level that can no longer be ignored.
------------------------
[Types of Harassment]
- Encouraging physical attacks using Facebook, Line groups, Twitch chat, and YouTube comments
- Encouraging HIV positive people to infect CJ
- Sharing CJ’s Taiwan address and USA family address with harmful intent
- Harassment via phone calls towards CJ’s family
- Stalkers following CJ outside; taking pictures of his home and everywhere he goes. The pictures are then shared with groups online that are encouraging physical attacks.
- Slander by news media; TV broadcasts and online articles These are a representation of the media headlines, which are all fake and lies:
"Taiwanese Girls Love Western Sausage"
"Foreign Man Mocks Taiwanese Girl"
"American Streamer Humiliates Taiwanese Girl"
"American Livestreamer said Taiwanese Girls 'Very EZ'"
- Smear campaigns by broadcasters and influencers
------------------------
[Victims] - Several Twitch broadcasters
- CJ's family and friends
------------------------
