chapter 3

Perhaps Johnny was a private eye in a distant past life for he had a knack for following his hunches and picking up leads like a bloodhound, this mystery has been solved hours ago but his need to right this wrong fueled his actions to do more. Setting up an anonymous account completely separate from his personal one on the site Johnny was prepping for battle with all the dirt and ammunition he could ask for to really stand up to Foodie Booty. His plan was simple, the only way to truly make an enemy pay online was to attack what they cared about directly, and in a supposed gainer girl's case the only thing she cared about was getting more and more fans through her steady postings of suggestive images and videos of herself. So the only way to get her attention, was not to attack her directly but to get the fans on his side.


The anonymous profile he proudly named  "Lie Detector" and set the iconic Guy Fawkes mask as the profile picture for an aesthetic choice, to become the elusive phantom that will punish the faker and finally bring her true colors to light.


Like a battlefield horn declaring war Johnny started flooding his new account with not only bold claims that Foodie Booty was a faker but backing it up with the evidence he had acquired, from the pictures of her workout equipment, use of high performing diet pills for models, and her ordering salads at restaurants, all in the pursuit of tarnishing her credibility. But of course, the first couple of days were less than fruitful as her devoted fans had constructed a wall of stubbornness and a moat of biased opinions to protect their queen stating his attempts to dismantle her fortress of funding was...for a brief summary and weeding out the grossly excessive use of profanity, a waste of time.


"Clearly these images are photoshopped, *** you hater." -DonutKing456


"How lame do you have to be to hate on a pure goddess like Foodie? Get a life you loser." -BlubberbellyBetty


"How dare you insult her with lies, I hope you choke on that high horse of yours and die." -BigCandyAndy


The comments only became more and more cruel and closed minded as the hours passed, Johnny held his head in his hand staring at his laptop screen as these comments came back in boat loads with almost all of them being negative responses. How could this be? He had enough evidence to win a courtroom case and then some! Yet they continue to defend her blindly like desperate and lovesick sheep. There had to be a way to get through them, a crack in the armor, a smoking gun of undeniable proof.


"There has to be something, even people this dense can't deny, but what?"


Johnny would pace around his apartment like a veteran general re-evaluating his approach and come up with a new combative strategy to take down the enemy. If the main collective argument against him were his images being accused of being forged or altered in some way, shape, or form...then what better way to prove his claims are true then by using the defendant's own words against them?  


With this idea in mind Hmhe booted up his laptop one last time for the night, the sound of the keyboard clicking and clacking underneath his frantically moving fingertips filling the air as he started writing the content of his new post, but halfway through writing it he could feel a bit of dread and uncertainty start to take root in the pit of his chest. For the reality of his position in this situation this was a mere gamble, a last ditch effort to turn the tides into his favor. But if this attempt fails as well, then she wins no matter what. He could feel the blood in his fingers run cold to the point of freezing at the thought of losing this chess game before it even began.


"....No, this has to work. It just has to!" Johnny insisted, grabbing a hold of himself and shaking free from his stupor now typing away with renewed vigor, his finger slamming hard on the 'enter' key making his final post on this account.


That final post being a simple and coherent timeline using the many dates and the thumbnails of Foodie Booty's posted videos. The idea behind this was rather straightforward: using the fact she often posted at a steady rate without fail with the added bonus of her own thumbnails, it was like using her own words to testify against herself and admit that she is NOT gaining in these videos. He typed no words so anything he said couldn't be taken out of context or spat back against him. A loud yawn echoing from his lips before finally calling it a night, completely unaware of the  one in a lifetime internet miracle taking place overnight….



….it worked.
