Kate

Kate (born 2011), also known as Katethingz or Kateschoppenboer, is a Nigerian Canadian Twitter user and fan artist who was active on the Zarty for 15 days. Her posts were so low quality and her presence so disruptive that she convinced the Zarty moderation team to implement rule 8, making the minimum age to use the site 16.

Kate was also a self-admitted user of the Sharty, according to xer tweets. She was supposedly banned from the site a few days before her ban from the Zarty[1].

History

 Kate was first discovered by Zaryans in late July of 2024, when a post in the now-deleted /raid/ showed some of Kate’s art depicting xer self-insert in love with Mymy. Initial reactions were split between amazement and suspicions of the account being an elaborate bait. These suspicions were supported by various, somewhat-hidden references to chuddy humor in her art (such as TND crossed out in one panel of a 'toss). Aside from this initial morbid curiosity, months would pass without any continued observations.

About 2 months later, a thread using a ‘toss made by yosACK was posted. Notably, it featured Kate’s OC, leading to some Zaryans to comment on it. Because Kate is obsessed, xhe proceeded to cry on xitter about it[2], leading equally obsessed Zaryans to then post a screencap of her tweet to the thread. This culminated with Kate herself posting to the thread. Zaryans then dug up Shit No one Cares About on Kate, which prompted further discussion regarding the legitimacy of Kate[3].

After this run-in, Kate would begin posting numerous threads in /zellig/, shilling xer own art. Some were positively received by Zaryans, while others were incredibly coally (the soytran-troonjak-cobson imminent orgy drawing, particularly). Site users were split between those who thought Kate was pvre bait (which would lead to angry replies by Kate and multiple hand reveals), those who thought Kate was a Zarty-saving gem, and others who decided to try counter-bait. This influx of new OC lead to a brief surge in site activity.

The strange nature of these posts and sheer frequency of them prompted a couple Zaryans to go complain about it in /q/, which lead to a lot of xer threads being moved to /zate/ (which was deleted soon after due to a critical racebait outbreak). This culminated in zoot implementing the age limit of 16 (rule 8), and Kate being 'nished off of the site completely. A schizophrenic mental breakdown on xer twitter would ensue.

Kate’s ban message(s). Because xer brain is too tiny and underdeveloped, no proxies were used by xer and the double-ban was due rather to trying to make posts from a mobile device (confirmed by a xitter post after-the-fact)

Kate's posting style

• Complete lack of ‘teen/Zaryan etiquette
• Refusal to consolidate posts to a single thread
• Emoji spam
• Liberal use of niggerbabble/ebonics
• Saying ugh and pedo whenever possible
