Wikipedia edit history shows how malicious a lot of the #MeghanMarkle hate is, and how much of it is about trying to shape the narrative about her via trolling and misinformation. A thread:
Evidence of disruptive editing and vandalism which began in earnest when #harryandmeghan 's relationship was announced. Archie's page gets it too after he's born
A LOT of back & forth over how to talk about Meghan's race. Didn't include all those b/c the majority didn't seem overtly malicious & the careless ones got smacked down quick by editors. These however, are clearly malicious, note the "I speak truth" in the first pic about Archie
Here we have #misogynoir, where racism and sexism meet in specifically the hypersexualisation of black women, Meghan's career as an actress and baseless assertions about her intentions. There are MANY. part one:
Misogynoir part 2: (also despite the claims of some that this only occurred on social media, and not in the press... that is not true. Might do a thread of that another day)
Misogynoir towards #MeghanMarkle part 3: In one of these, an anonymous user changes her occupation to "stripper".
Then we have the conspiracy theories. Imo there's barely any difference between Q*non ppl and M*gxit. They will believe whatever to justify hatred. All the usual suspects are here: surrogacy, age. One troll even wrote a dumb little story
This took forever so I haven't looked through #PrinceHarry's page yet. I will though. But this determination to make people accept things that obviously aren't true, and even things that are bigoted, by trying to push them through sources with some kind of authority is just sick
