Decoding Anna: Part 1 of 4 - Toe Dipping the Waters


This is a look back at a former social media peer of mine (and many others), Anna @DecodingJ2andCo.  I don't know when Anna first appeared on social media because I think she probably had been lurking for awhile, but just as an anonymous voice.  She created her Twitter name in March of this year, 2016.  Anna's Tumblr profile statement says:

About

Decoding J2 & company's inconsistent statements.
Also archiving significant & insignificant things in J2 & co's world.



She also stated in her profile:

I'm Anna; a liberal christian woman without hate in her heart.


(For those who may not be aware, J2 is short for Jared and Jensen of Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles fame.)  It's hard to say when DecodingJ2andCo first considered starting her J2 blog project, but she floated the idea on the Live Journal J2 blog, Spn_Gos back in early March of this year:


J2 Lies Project - Need help

So I had an idea to do something like the speak the truth but only focusing on provable lies/contradictions J2 & co. have said.
I don't know if it will be in video form yet or not.I'll see how the response to this post goes.Also if the response is good,I'm gonna make a sock for this project so people can PM me
The reason for this is basically for my own benefit because I keep forgetting their lies & contradictions.Plus this will be a nice little project to focus on until I'm no longer jobless *pray for me please*
I'll start off with 1 lie/contradiction right now.Please add any others that y'all can think of....



Only 6 minutes later, her first reply was this reaction with the thread title altered to include "Need help mods":

Anna, the OP (original poster) replied, asking them why were they calling on the mods because she was serious about her proposal. This was met with yet again a dismissal:

This is such an obvious troll...




When another Anon tried to defend Anna's topic proposal, they were told:

Oh give me a break- you can discuss anything you want here, it is the underlying attitude- just like you displayed here that is not welcome. You can take that to one of the other copycat coms.







Someone else piped in with this OTT personal attack:

To the OP and why the Mods should delete this thread.

I think you and others on here are nothing but bitter hate filled trolls who HATE the J's and this is what science calls people like you.

Gossip is one thing looking to out right harm & hurt people, I call that evil.

Watch this show https://www.viceland.com/en_us/show/gaycation and learn about what shame, hate and bigotry still does to people.

Read this article, the world is cruel and you are only adding to it.

On their LGBT travel show Gaycation, Ellen Page and Ian Daniel confront global homophobia, a gay-targeting hitman, and Ted Cruz.

There were receptive comments, but there were definitely those who highly objected to the idea of "such a" blog. Luckily, Anna had support on the thread, for there were some anons who used the opportunity to post a questionable moment in J2 history or provide Anna with potential material. So, already it was good exposure for her endeavor.
