So Emma Watson was supposedly threatened by 4chan for that feminist speech she gave. They said they would release nudes of her. News sites were in a tizzy talking about how EVIL 4chan is.
Except it wasn't 4chan. It was a viral marketing group doing it to....show how evil 4chan is? http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-09-24/emma-watson-threats-actually-stunt-to-shut-down-4chan/5766882
And apparently they thought, "Let's not use actual examples of things they have done. We should trick people and lie to them! Because that is what the internet likes. being tricked and lied to."
