Chandra Hardy
I'm Something of a Chandra Expert Myself
I have a long history of tending to a loyal flock of lolcows on this app, as most of my Subscribers know by now. There have been many highlights throughout the years I’ve been here, but Chandra A. Hardy has probably been the most reliable. Some of my other lolcows, such as 👹The Ignorant Ninja👹, have been able to provide equally entertaining content, but Chandra has undoubtedly been the most consistently active.
Why Chandra is Infamous
Chandra’s account is ostensibly about her family's history. Specifically, she says she is writing her “family memoir” about her grandparents and mother. This “memoir” (which is not actually a true memoir; a recurring theme with Chandra is that she missuses words and then refuses to acknowledge that she is wrong) actually consists of screenshotted/copy+pasted Wikipedia articles which generally have nothing to do with her family, in even the slightest way. The general format is something like this:
Insert random date, with an associated Wikipedia entry.
Often the date someone was born/died, an organization was founded, etc.
Insert very general timeframe of something that Chandra, her mother, or her grandparents were doing at that time.
Generally accompanied by random photos of Chandra and/or her mother/grandparents.
OPTIONAL: Insert like 3-4 additional random screenshots from Wikipedia, which are tied to the above date, but otherwise completely unrelated to anything at all.
For example, we have this recent note:
The result is that Chandra basically just creates a weird timeline of completely random, arbitrarily chosen, Wikipedia articles which she has interspersed with random pictures of her family. How this actually constitutes any sort of “personal family history” is a mystery to everyone but Chandra.
Until several months ago, Chandra would generally copy+paste Wikipedia articles instead of screenshotting them. This were pretty funny because she would make no effort to hide the fact she was copy+pasting; she didn’t even remove the in-text citation numbers (i.e: “Chandra Hardy is an insane old hag[1], who is retarded and annoying [2].”). These excerpts would be posted to her notes, as well as her Substack articles (including those behind Subscriber paywalls). Essentially, if you were insane enough to give Chandra a paid subscription, then you were basically just paying her money to read random paragraphs from Wikipedia articles. That is, until Tee I. Thingus pointed out that this was in express violation of Wikipedia’s intellectual property policy. This caused a mini meltdown from Chandra, as Thingus reported Chandra to Wikimedia’s IPP team.
It’s also worth noting that at one point Chandra was trying to solicit investors to produce some sort of film about her “Civil Rights Power Couple” grandparents. Unsurprisingly, this never went anywhere and she now seems resigned to self-publishing these “memoirs” as a book, though the progress of this effort is unknown.
These Wikipedia family “memoir” posts make up about 25-40% of Chandra’s content. The vast majority of her content is, instead, aimed at “exposing” the “Evil Nazi Trolls” of Substack (me btw). Chandra is extremely obsessive about this. Simply liking a post making fun of her is enough to set her off and include you in her infamous notes.
In at least one case, Chandra also began to randomly ping an entirely random account and harass him by calling him a Nazi, simply because he had a Substack handle similar to mine. This went on for several days until “James P. Knox” threatened legal action against Chandra if she refused to stop.
This genre of notes is, moreso than her “memoir” notes, full of her infamous “Chandraisms” which notably include:
Typing EVERYTHING in bold, often all caps, letters.
Being extraordinarily prejudiced against virtually every single astrological sign, except for her own. Like straight up astrology supremacism. If you swapped astrological signs for race, Chandra would be the biggest racial supremacist on the planet.
She has a particular hatred of Geminis due to Donald Trump being a Gemini.
She often asks users for their astrological sign, akin to an SS Officer going “Papers, please!” before she is willing to interact with them.
Strange little phrases such as:
DUI Hire Nazis (as opposed to DEI hire)
Deranged Dunning-Kruger Nazis
Daughter of a Murdered Mother
This is how Chandra refers to herself.
Chandra also refers to herself as having “Murdered Mother Motivation”
The White Male “JUST US” System
Referring to people/politicians she doesn’t like in very weird ways. For example:
Donald Trump: “The Demented Draft-Dodging Genocidal Geriatric Gemini Nazi Misogynist Child Rapist Global Terrorist War Monger”
Pete Hegseth: “DUI hire diabolical and unhinged war monger & Secretary of “Defense” to the Demented Draft-Dodging Gemini Genocidal Geriatric Nazi Misogynist Child Rapist Global Terrorist War Monger”
Me: “DUI HIRE NAZI ‘LAW’ STUDENT ASPIRING TO BE A PUBLIC PROSECUTOR WHO FANTAZISES ABOUT RAPING AND MURDERING BLACK CHILDREN”
SO many more.
Posting gigantic lists of names or convoluted references to politicians, using the above mentioned phrases. These lists are often 30+ people long.
Restacking AND tagging people in notes, resulting in double notification pings for all Chandra interactions.
Tagging dozens of “NAZI TROLLS” in each one of these notes, which are also posted dozens of times a day.
This means that if Chandra has decided you are a “NAZI TROLL” then you will often wake up to 20-30 notifications a DAY, most of which are from Chandra.
When you’ve made her mad/annoyed enough, she just stops typing responses to you and instead only restacks your notes with random screenshots of news articles, Wikipedia articles, and Substack comments (which are often not even made by you).
These notes, and her Chandraisms, are what make Chandra Hardy such a lucrative lolcow.
A Biography of Chandra
Chandra is very obviously mentally unwell. This is, however, not at all surprising when you do some digging in her profile. Some important highlights include:
Chandra’s father was absent from her life.
She was homeless living out of a van with her single mother [Nancy Hardy] for part of her childhood.
Her husband abused her.
She was charged with battery in 2008, though the charges were later dropped.
Her mother was murdered in Jamaica in 2018. She also described her mother as “volatile” and was put in foster care twice as a child, and the two were estranged for 5 years prior to her mothers death. Her mother had been in an, apparently, sham marriage with a Jamaican man at the time. This man, Chandra’s step-father, was cut out of the will by Chandra, even though he was still technically married at the time of Nancy’s death.
I have also heard that Chandra’s grandmother was essentially abandoned in a nursing home until she died, though I don’t know the source for this. I don’t find this surprising though, as Chandra was estranged from her mother for 5 years prior to her death, and that hasn’t stopped Chandra from trying to use her mother (and her death) for content.
Chandra was fired from her “Award Winning Career at a Top 10 Public University” in 2019. She wants you to assume she was some sort of researcher or professor, but she was actually an administrative aid. Chandra insists that she was fired for her ”support of black people” but the actual reason is unknown.
She has been unemployed since then, which is also why she can post these insane notes all day long, including late at night.
The “Doxxing” Incident
At some point in early-mid March, the police responded to a wellness check at a house under Chandra’s name in Florida. However, this was not Chandra’s actual place of residence, and instead where her son lived during college. Her son answered the door and then told Chandra what happened via text. This led to Chandra’s largest meltdown so far.
The exact details of what happened off the app are somewhat hazy, but due to Chandra’s prolific posting we can piece together a good idea of what happened.
My understanding of what happened is as follows:
Chandra immediately assumed this was because of someone on Substack. Specifically, she believes that I ordered Tee I. Thingus to find her/her son’s address and then request a wellness check with the local police department. I can personally attest that neither myself nor Thingus was involved in this. I still don’t know who requested the wellness check or why. It may have been someone on Substack, but it was not one of the iFunniers (I checked), or it may have been someone entirely unaffiliated with Chandra’s Substack account. It’s entirely possible that someone requested the wellness check based on Chandra’s activity IRL, or even just a prank by one of her son’s friends. Either way, Chandra immediately relayed this to her son.
Chandra’s eldest son [a Senior in college, who watches Joe Rogan and lives in a frat house with a Trump flag outside] asked Chandra to either A) delete her Substack account, or B) change her Substack handle to something other than her real name, as people he knew IRL were discovering her account and it made him embarrassed. This REALLY set Chandra off.
Chandra apparently showed up at her son’s frat house a few days later and, in front of all of his friends, demanded that her son write a “letter” with all of the following INSANE requests:
This led to a serious falling out with her and her son. Each one expressed a desire to cut the other out of their life entirely. Chandra said she was going to cut off her son’s credit card, would not be attending his imminent graduation, and never wanted to see him again. She made several Substack notes saying she was “handing him over” to the Nazis (us).
On a positive note, it seems like Chandra has made amends with her son since then. At the very least, she intends to attend his graduation again.
As a result of all this, Chandra filed police reports in several departments for “Criminal Doxxing” and False Report. As a note on the legal issues here, none of these departments have jurisdiction over anyone allegedly involved in all this (notwithstanding the fact that none of us actually did anything), and that these events do not qualify as any Statutory definition of illegal doxxing or False Reports. It could potentially qualify as Misuse of Emergency Services or something, but that depends on whether or not it was filed in bad faith, and we don’t even know that.
Anyway, this subject dominated Chandra’s posting for several weeks. She would keep us updated on her terrible treatment of her son, post pictures of the police officer who was supposed to be handling the investigation, and constantly threaten myself an a few others with legal action. Nothing ever came of it of course.
Chandra also began to post increasingly dark notes. It seemed like every other note was either a vague reference to some sort of apocalyptic event, or her own martyrdom. Don’t really know what that was about. Probably a reflection of the dark place she was in as a result of cutting off her son.
Chandra seems to have more or less calmed down after all this, but she still insists that I “doxxed” her sons.
Also of note is the fact that Chandra has herself solicited the doxxing of dozens of people, including former co-workers/bosses:
The Chandra Hardy Arrest
Shortly after originally posting this article, a Substack user notified me of a Chandra A. Hardy arrested in Key West, with a mugshot very similar to Chandra. Upon further investigation, I was able to confirm that this is in fact Chandra, and that she is currently detained in Monroe County Jail on three misdemeanor charges.
The criminal Statutes she is charged under, in relevant part, are as follows (emphasis added):
(1) An operator may take a person into custody and detain that person in a reasonable manner and for a reasonable time if the operator has probable cause to believe that the person was engaging in disorderly conduct in violation of s. 877.03 [Ed. Note: this is a Disorderly Conduct/Breach of the Peace Statute] on the premises of the licensed establishment and that such conduct was creating a threat to the life or safety of the person or others. The operator shall call a law enforcement officer to the scene immediately after detaining a person under this subsection.
(2) A law enforcement officer may arrest, either on or off the premises of the licensed establishment and without a warrant, any person the officer has probable cause to believe violated s. 877.03 on the premises of a licensed establishment and, in the course of such violation, created a threat to the life or safety of the person or others.
(3) [Omitted by me]
(4) A person who resists the reasonable efforts of an operator or a law enforcement officer to detain or arrest that person in accordance with this section is guilty of a misdemeanor of the first degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083, unless the person did not know or did not have reason to know that the person seeking to make such detention or arrest was the operator of the establishment or a law enforcement officer.
810.09 Trespass on property other than structure or conveyance.—
(2) Except as provided in this subsection, trespass on property other than a structure or conveyance is a misdemeanor of the first degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083.
(a) If the offender defies an order to leave, personally communicated to the offender by the owner of the premises or by an authorized person, or if the offender willfully opens any door, fence, or gate or does any act that exposes animals, crops, or other property to waste, destruction, or freedom; unlawfully dumps litter on property; or trespasses on property other than a structure or conveyance, the offender commits a misdemeanor of the first degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083.
The address of her arrest location (3704 N ROOSEVELT BLVD) is a McDonalds in Key West. Chandra has confirmed (see below) that this is where it occured.
843.02 Resisting officer without violence to his or her person.—
Whoever shall resist, obstruct, or oppose any officer as defined in s. 943.10(1), (2), (3), (6), (7), (8), or (9); member of the Florida Commission on Offender Review or any administrative aide or supervisor employed by the commission; county probation officer; parole and probation supervisor; personnel or representative of the Department of Law Enforcement; or other person legally authorized to execute process in the execution of legal process or in the lawful execution of any legal duty, without offering or doing violence to the person of the officer, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor of the first degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083.
Each of these offences is a First Degree Misdemeanor, carrying the following penalties:
(a) For a misdemeanor of the first degree, by a definite term of imprisonment not exceeding 1 year;
(d) $1,000, when the conviction is of a misdemeanor of the first degree.
In the unlikely event that Chandra is sentenced to the maximum on each of these offenses, and they are also run consecutively, she is looking at a maximum of 3 years in jail, with a $3,000 fine on top of that, plus whatever associated Court costs there are.
It is more likely that she will get something like 1 year County probation (probably one case dropped, 2 others ran concurrently) and a $500 fine (or thereabouts). I’m basing this mostly off of what I see in our Court from our office, but it could well be different.
Apparently the manager at the time was also a flamboyantly gay black guy (you can’t make this up dude). It’s also worth noting that, until this point, Chandra had maintained that she was engaging in “peaceful protest” before the cops arrived.
Apparently she was also tazed during all this. This isn’t surprising, because I know a lot of officers say that if they have to get out the tazer then they’re filing a resisting charge:
Based on my reading of the Statutes, my own experience in misdemeanor Court, and Chandra’s posts detailing the event afterwards, it seems like Chandra was bumming the WiFi at McDonalds and asked/ordered to leave (810.09.2a) by the gay nightshift manager (since the arrest was at 9:45 pm, or 21:45 military time). She refused this request, berated the manager for trying to kick her out and refusing to leave (509.143.4), and the police were called. After arriving, Chandra also resisted arrest (843.02) by the police, requiring them to use their tazer.
I say this because 509.143.4 allows for resisting charges if you resist the owner’s lawful efforts to remove you, or a police officer’s efforts. 843.02 is dedicated ONLY to resisting an officer. Technically, officers can charge Chandra with both offenses, even if they both spring from the same event of resisting arrest to the same officer, but it’s not likely. In Court, one of these charges would have to be dropped due to Double Jeopardy/Same Transaction issues, UNLESS 509.143.4 is charged as resisting the owner/operator’s lawful efforts to remove her. In that case, there is no Double Jeopardy/Same Transaction issue.
It should be noted that her intake lists the offense as “1 Misdemeanor Count(s) of 509.143.4 RESIST OFFICER” which may indicate that it WAS for resisting an officer, and not an operator, however it may also be the result of the computer’s automated system simply putting “officer” down. Based on Chandra’s statements about the manager, however, it seems likely that 509.143.4 is charged for her resisting the managers efforts to eject her from the premises.
Chandra also had her dog with her at the time of her arrest. Her dog was taken into custody by local Animal Control while Chandra was in jail (this is pretty standard procedure).
On picking up her dog, Chandra let her poop on the lawn of the animal shelter, and refused to clean it up (ostensibly as some sort of act of defiance). This is sort of odd, as Chandra seemed to think positively of some of the staff in other notes.
Chandra also posted about her arresting officer after her release:
The following mugshots were taken as a result of this incident:
I don’t really know why a new photo was added. The only thing I can think of is that Chandra has posted bond or something and is being released, and the jail took this photo as part of the outtake process. Guess we will know if this is the case if Chandra starts messaging us.
Something of note is that her arraignment date (4/24) is over a week after her arrest date (4/15), which is somewhat unusual. Normally, the maximum time before an arraignment, in a non-weekend arrest, would be 48 hours and a delay of more than that is (rebuttably) unconstitutional. This is relevant, because the arraignment is where you 1) enter a plea of guilty/not guilty, and 2) have your bail set. I’m unfamiliar with Florida criminal procedure, but I assume Chandra has an initial arraignment which has either already happened or will happen shortly, and she will have her bail set here. Later, there will be an actual arraignment where she is required to enter a plea and fully presented with the charges against her. This a common procedure in the US, so I wouldn’t be surprised if this is the case.
EDIT: Seems like her initial arraignment was by Judge Mark H. Jones. Note that this may not be the Judge she appears before at her later Court dates.
Posting Bail
EDIT: It seems I was correct, as not long after typing this I discovered Chandra has blocked me, indicating she is out of jail and has access to her phone once again.
Chandra refers to this as the conclusion of “a decade-long qualitative social research study on misogyny and Neo-Nazism/white supremacy” and that her interactions with us were “data collection.” She has added in other buzzwords to qualify her “research study” in other notes as well, in typical Chandra fashion.
Chandra’s bond was set a $22k, and she had to pay $4k up front in order to make bond. This indicates to me that she had to go through a bonding agency, as a 10% fee up front is pretty typical in those situation. The company will probably keep $2k as part of their contract (that’s how they turn a profit), and the remaining $2k is returned after her proceedings are concluded, so long as she doesn’t jump bail or get it revoked some other way. In the event that she does jump bail, she would be civilly liable to the bonding agency for the remaining balance of that $22k (and maybe some other stuff depending on the contract). Those types of situations are when you usually see bounty hunters employed, but they may also sell off the debt to some other collection agency or something.
While posting her own bail, Chandra also posted a $700 bail for a latinx woman who was also in jail:
Shortly after getting released, Chandra had the following to say:
It also seems that Chandra doesn’t fully understand Courtroom procedure; specifically the next steps in her case.
It seems that Chandra believes that her arraignment date is actually her trial date (note that “trial date” doesn’t necessarily mean when she would go before a Jury, it basically just means the first Courtroom appearance where the Prosecution is present), and plans to start her usual spiel. As mentioned above, this arraignment date is actually just for her to enter a plea of guilty/not guilty, inform the Court of her decision on counsel (apply for appointed counsel/hire private attorney/represent herself). Judges will not hear any argument at this time (it is improper since the Prosecution is not present, plus they have a lot of other stuff to do), so it is my guess that Chandra will not take kindly to the Judge shutting down her “Daughter of a Murdered Mother” spiel. Don’t be surprised if Chandra freaks out in front of the Judge and ends up with a Contempt of Court charge (usually up to 10 days in jail, automatically btw).
It also seems that Chandra expects to be in Massachusetts next month, presumably because she thinks these charges will be dropped or something.
Again, as mentioned above, this is highly unlikely. Chandra’s trial date will probably first be set anywhere from next month to three months out. Technically, she can return to MA in this time, but if she fails to appear in Court on her trial date, then a few things are probably going to happen:
The Judge issues a Failure to Appear (FTA) warrant
A re-arrest is issued as part of that
Chandra’s bond is revoked.
If she paid in cash, that means she will not see that money ever again (normally it would be returned after proceedings are concluded).
If she went through a bonding company, the bonding company will come after her Civilly (Bounty Hunters could potentially also be used here, but I doubt that would happen).
843.15 Failure of defendant on bail to appear.—
(1) Whoever, having been released pursuant to chapter 903, willfully fails to appear before any court or judicial officer as required shall incur a forfeiture of any security which was given or pledged for her or his release and, in addition, shall:
(a) [Omitted by me]
(b) If she or he was released in connection with a charge of misdemeanor, be guilty of a misdemeanor of the first degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083.
(2) Nothing in this section shall interfere with or prevent the exercise by any court of its power to punish for contempt.
However, the Judge may not take it this far and may instead employ other means. The availability and likelihood of this depends entirely on local Criminal procedure rules and the Judge’s personal discretion, respectively, so I can’t say for certain. I know I will be trying to keep law enforcement informed on this, to try and push for an FTA, however.
It should also be noted that, because Chandra only has misdemeanors, the likelihood of extradition is probably rather low, especially since she’s going all the way to Massachusetts. It’s still technically possible, but since the charges are relatively minor and the cost of extradition would be so high, it’s unlikely. However, she will almost certainly have a standing arrest warrant in Florida for the foreseeable future, meaning she could very well be arrested when she returns for her younger son’s graduation.
If Chandra is still talking about leaving the State after her arraignment (when she should have reasonable notice that she has to appear again), I’ll see if I can forward that to the police to notify them.
Disposition
Today is the day of Chandra’s “arraignment” according to the online records. Based on what Chandra has revealed, my understanding of Criminal procedure, and my research into Florida law, here is what I think happened:
Chandra, after around an hour in Court, walks out and claims she has gotten “deferred prosecution.”:
Deferred Prosecution would generally refer to some sort of deal where the prosecution agrees not to push the charges in exchange for her doing something. Some States call this a “retirement.”
It could also be the that this Court was using “deferred prosecution” in a more non-standard way, or that Chandra just didn’t know what they were saying. I think one of these is what happened; specifically that the Court was using it in a non-standard way. This is because:
Chandra has a probation officer:
In the first scenario I mentioned (what other areas might refer to as a retirement) no probation officer is involved, so she clearly didn’t get a true sweetheart deal.
Instead, it appears that what happened is Chandra was proceeding Pro Se (unrepresented; this seems to be the case based on her Court records) and the prosecutor offered her Diversion under 948.08 Pretrial intervention program.— which means that she is under the supervision of a probation officer (above) and if she completes the program then her charges will be dismissed. Failure to complete the program results in the prosecution resuming, but this time without the opportunity of Diversion.
(Emphasis added)
948.08 Pretrial intervention program.—
(1) The department shall supervise pretrial intervention programs for persons charged with a crime, before or after any information has been filed or an indictment has been returned in the circuit court. Such programs shall provide appropriate counseling, education, supervision, and medical and psychological treatment as available and when appropriate for the persons released to such programs.
(2) Any first offender, or any person previously convicted of not more than one nonviolent misdemeanor, who is charged with any misdemeanor or felony of the third degree is eligible for release to the pretrial intervention program on the approval of the administrator of the program and the consent of the victim, the state attorney, and the judge who presided at the initial appearance hearing of the offender. However, the defendant may not be released to the pretrial intervention program unless, after consultation with his or her attorney, he or she has voluntarily agreed to such program and has knowingly and intelligently waived his or her right to a speedy trial for the period of his or her diversion. The defendant or the defendant’s immediate family may not personally contact the victim or the victim’s immediate family to acquire the victim’s consent under this section.
(3) The criminal charges against an offender admitted to the program shall be continued without final disposition for a period of 90 days after the date the offender was released to the program, if the offender’s participation in the program is satisfactory, and for an additional 90 days upon the request of the program administrator and consent of the state attorney, if the offender’s participation in the program is satisfactory.
(4) Resumption of pending criminal proceedings shall be undertaken at any time if the program administrator or state attorney finds that the offender is not fulfilling his or her obligations under this plan or if the public interest so requires. The court may not appoint the public defender to represent an indigent offender released to the pretrial intervention program unless the offender’s release is revoked and the offender is subject to imprisonment if convicted.
(5) At the end of the intervention period, the administrator shall recommend:
(a) That the case revert to normal channels for prosecution in instances in which the offender’s participation in the program has been unsatisfactory;
(b) That the offender is in need of further supervision; or
(c) That dismissal of charges without prejudice shall be entered in instances in which prosecution is not deemed necessary.
The state attorney shall make the final determination as to whether the prosecution shall continue.
[Rest of Statute omitted by me as inapplicable]
I note that she is probably Pro Se because if she had an attorney they may have advised her not to use her Diversion. This is because Diversion is, not quite literally but almost, a get out of jail free card. However, she probably didn’t understand how it works and simple accepted the offer made by the prosecutor thinking she was getting off scott free (which is not really the case).
From the prosecution’s perspective, this is a good thing. This would be what our office (and probably many others) call “burning their Diversion” which basically means getting a Defendant to use their Diversion so that if/when they cause issues again, the no longer have the safety net of Diversion (since one of the terms of the Statute is that Diversion is only available if you have a clean record). It is also good for the Prosecution to do this, as generally they don’t really have much of a choice in the grand scheme of things. Say, for example, Chandra fought this to the end. She had a trial on it, but was ultimately found guilty. The Judge would sentence her, but probably sentence her on Diversion anyway, since she is entitled to it by Florida law. This way, however, Chandra can’t get in trouble again or else she risks the full consequences of criminal charges, instead of getting out of part of it via Diversion.
I’m waiting on confirmation from the Monroe County Circuit Court Clerk Records (just type in Chandra’s first and last name in the boxes; alternatively her case number is 26-MM-001000-A-K), but they haven’t updated anything for me to know for sure yet. I’m very confident that this is what happened, however.
EDIT: I am once again spot on in my analysis.
Note that the no contest/nolo contendere plea means that she didn’t plea guilty. She is simply saying that she won’t contest the charges. This is because you cannot plea not guilty and get Diversion, and I imagine Chandra didn’t want to plea guilty.
Here’s a PDF copy of her Court records as of 4/24/2026 (the digital records will probably be deleted if/when she completes the Diversion program):
Bodycam Footage
GOATed nigga American in Exile was able to successfully request the bodycam footage of her arrest and tazing:
Additionally, it has been posted to YouTube by unaffiliated channels:
NOTE: The above video was posted entirely independent of me. I did not request them to review the footage. Also, Chandra is in the comments arguing with viewers over the arrest.
Personal Thoughts
In my career as a lolcow rancher on Substack, certain trends have emerged. Lolcows seem to have the same general idea of who/what I am, but their concept of who I really am is alien and foreign.
Generally speaking, most of the lolcows I have tended seem to believe that I am some sort of malevolent force against them. Specifically, this almost invariably manifests as me being some sort of shadowy leader of a group of “Nazi Trolls” whose sole purpose is to destroy people’s lives or something.
Ignorant Ninja was probably the best example of this, as he thought I was the malevolent leader of a “blackpill troll wing” working for the government. He thought I was trying to “blackpill” people into becoming my puppets (he believed Will Martin was one such person) and that I was attempting to do the same to him. He also believed that I was somehow behind the various left-wing accounts on Substack [including Chandra, by the way]. He thought that these accounts were either sock accounts ultimately ran by myself or someone I knew, or that they were “blackpill puppets” doing my bidding. The goal of this being that I was making lefties look bad. This was really funny of course because he was basically admitting that lefties have absolutely awful optics.
Chandra has similar beliefs about me, though not quite as sophisticated. I still often find myself being accused as the “leader” of efforts against her, but this is really not true. It’s true that I have a prominent role in Chandra trolling, but most of the time I am unaware of what other Chandra trolls are doing, even other iFunniers. Nonetheless, Chandra insists that I have “ordered” people to do all manner of things to her. Chandra has also made vague accusations of me being directly affiliated with the Trump Administration, but not in as much detail as Ignorant Ninja.
I don’t know why this always happens to me, but I usually lean into it because it tends to make it funnier.
One of Chandra’s more common tactics is also to threaten legal action. This has taken many forms, of course. Chandra has reported me to the FBI, filed numerous police reports about me, and threatened to institute a civil suit against me countless times.
Most recently, she has threatened to sue Substack in a class-action lawsuit, and a number of her trolls individually [mentioned above].
She thinks, somehow, that Substack can be liable for Intention Infliction of Emotion Distress (IIED) of something, but she can’t possibly improve the intent element of IIED. She wants to sue people individually under theories of defamation and/or IIED, which does at least have SOME sort of basis.
Private lawsuits against each of us individually is unrealistic for a number of reasons. For one thing, most of us (especially the iFunniers) are entirely anonymous online. We use fake names, burner emails, and don’t attach phone numbers. Even if she was somehow able to get into Substack’s user data (which she can’t just do btw), it would be exceptionally hard to track down. For those of you who are less anonymous, she still has to figure out how to correctly identify you and achieve personal service on each person she wants to sue. Realistically, she would have to pay in the thousands of dollars EACH just to identify and properly serve us. The costs of litigation alone would also probably outweigh any possible winnings. If she wants to be represented in these cases, she needs an attorney who is Bar certified in each jurisdiction, which probably means hiring a different attorney for each person she wants to sue. That’s probably at least 2-5k for each attorney. Then she also has to deal with filing fees and other Court costs, which are at bare minimum in the hundreds of dollars, and generally in the thousands. She would probably have to get at least $10k in damages from each person just to break even. Proving those damages is going to be almost impossible since the only thing she can really allege is that we might have prevented her from getting paid subscribers on Substack, or that we made her really upset.
Procedurally, Chandra is completely lost as well. Chandra has stated that she wants to litigate the suit in Texas or Connecticut, simply because those are the States where the Alex Jones lawsuits came out of. You can’t do that. You can only sue people in Courts that have appropriate jurisdiction, and Substack is headquartered in California. Moreover, you cannot file a Federal Diversity Case [Diversity Jurisdiction being the only possible Jurisdiction she could assert against private individuals here] without an amount in controversy over $75,000, and she couldn’t possibly show a reasonable basis for how he came up with a figure of $75,000 in damages in each of these individual cases. This means that she would have to go to the local State Court to file lawsuits against us, which means going to probably dozens of local County-level Courts across the Country, just to file lawsuits which probably wouldn’t result in any real damages being awarded, if she even won them at all.
And most importantly, Chandra is DEEPLY unsympathetic, especially to a Jury. She initiates almost all interactions with us, spams our inboxes daily, and generally harasses us just as much if not more than we do her. Her mental instability would also probably make litigation difficult for her, as she would probably drive both the Judge and her attorney insane.
TL:DR Chandra lawsuits are a nothingburger.
I think, however, there is something of a tragic element to Chandra. When she turned on her own children, that was very unsettling. She quickly went from lolcow to sadcow status. Hopefully she truly has mended her relationship with her kids, and hopefully it stays that way. Only time will tell though, and ultimately it doesn’t really mean anything unless Chandra gets some sort of help to make her not insane anymore.

I want to finish off this article with miscellaneous posts from/about Chandra that were really funny but didn’t really fit in earlier parts of the article. Feel free to leave your own submissions in the comments, my DMs, or tag me directly. Just give me a link to the note/post and any explanatory context you think it needs.
Without further adieu:
Interesting info.
Chandra came after me after I first challenged her frequent, boldfaced, all caps attacks on white conservative males. I believe she called me a “MALIGNANT CONSERVATIVE MAGA CUNT,” or something along those lines.
Then I logged into Substack one day to see that she had posted a hysterical screed somehow linking me to “teachers in red states” who were having sex with their students. (For context, I am a retired, widowed librarian.) When I replied, suggesting that she must have confused me with someone else, she doubled down, smearing me as a “NAZI CUNT,” who seduces young Nazi boys on Substack.
In the ensuing “discussion,” she demanded that I stop following certain users she had deemed unacceptable, due to their being “NAZI RAPIST PEDOPHILES” of course. When I refused, she accused me of abusing her, the poor, unassuming daughter of a murder victim. I expressed sympathy for her having lost her mother in a violent attack, but gently informed her that her victim status did not give her the right to make demands on other Substack users.
Just recently, after a few days away from Substack, I logged on to see that I had been tagged in 60 (SIXTY) posts referencing Nazis, pedophiles, and all manner of scumbags.
I gave up trying to use words on her, so I now generally respond to her attacks with memes/GIF’s — which also trigger her.

I didn’t know Chandra was a fucking sanghili supremacist
