Show addict wrote: I honestly never were suspicious about anyone anyhwere, it never even crossed my mind, but i also don't spend much time anywhere else reading fan's comments about the show. So i had no idea about all this alledged people who work for The 100 and are sent to different social media platforms to do damage control.

But now i'm actually curious, did this really happened? Or are just suppositions and stuff some people said?

I never really immersed myself in the fandom from anything more than an observational standpoint but with the amount of research I've done for this wikia, I probably know more about what's going on in this fandom than the Network's own PR department and that goes the same for many of my fellow contributors. Over the last year, we've meticulously scoured social media sites and media articles for information, links, interviews, clips, references, etc....

There are tons of hearsay and third-hand accounts and screenshots instead of direct links to source (oftentimes because the original source was purposefully removed). The rumors are rampant and there are trolls who purposefully put out false gossip to misdirect or further frustrate the fandom. Everything needs to be taken with a hefty grain of salt and the only constant is that the Network has remained silent (and JR gave a PR statement for the media where he apologized for nothing else except being a bad writer).

Even the actors' true intentions have been (rightfully?) called into question because the fandom knows. It knows the PR tricks and it sees through them and won't accept anything less than a genuine apology and rectification of the problem before it becomes even worse (which it did with Lincoln's death).

As to the LGBTQ Forum invasion, google Shawna Benson and Your Friendly Neighborhood Lurker for the "receipts."
