Millie Bobby Brown, a popular actress on Stranger Things – who I sadly must point out is still just a young teenager, has been bullied off of social media. That’s right, in today’s society, not even children are off limits for internet trolls. It all started with some very stupid memes, that turned hateful, and the actress clearly wanted no part of it.
Here’s an example of what transpired:
omg this is the origin of the millie bobby brown being racist/homophobic meme. this is a classic pic.twitter.com/FW7OWVnJI7

So, this started with a fake tweet with no substance (that was apparently considered a joke), and the internet took it and ran with it as factual:

I just want to clear something out in case ya’ll didn’t know
MILLIE BOBBY BROWN IS NOT HOMOPHOBIC! ALL OF THOSE PHOTOS WERE MEMES MADE BY SOMEBODY. AND BESIDES, WHY WOULD MILLIE SAY SUCH A THING TO END HER CAREER?
IT’S OBVIOUS PEOPLE STOP SPREADING LIES.
!IT’S A MEME!

Oomf started the Millie Bobby Brown inside jokes on Troll Twitter and it became mainstream across the site because of the locals… they really are a plague with no sense of humor and are to blame for her deactivation. Locals ruin everything…

unpopular opinion here but uhhhhh the homophobic millie bobby brown meme is fucking disgusting

i think y’all aren’t getting the point of the millie bobby brown meme?
it was made by the gays as pure satire and mock of people who are actually homophobic
and the entire idea and meme of mbb being homophobic originated from this iconic stan twitter moment.
y’all need 2 calm pic.twitter.com/Wlp49UqS44

the fact that gay twitter has collectively agreed to portray millie bobby brown as a raging homophobe is one of the funniest things on earth

Y’all still doing racist/homophobic Millie Bobby Brown memes? You grown ass adults bullied her (A CHILD) off the internet…. Stop it already.
When someone commits suicide you fucks are the first to post PSAs about harassment and bullying. But You do it for a meme?— One of a Kind (@SaintNader) June 13, 2018
She needs to grow a thicker skin, then come back. Twitter is clearly not for her. She will be fine. It’s not the end of the world.

#StrangerThings star Millie Bobby Brown deactivated her Twitter account over a meme that depicted her as homophobic in various photoshopped screenshots with homophobic, racist and body-shaming captions.
In reality, Bobby is an antibullying advocate and an LGBT+ rights supporter. pic.twitter.com/gApI1T7A4Q

So there you have it. Some feel that it’s okay to make a 14 year old kid feel bad enough to deactivate their Twitter account. If you feel that way, be sure to open up a Twitter account soon, as bullying kids and others to the point of actually killing themselves seems to be the norm on there.
A representative for Millie Bobby Brown has yet to comment.
