About

BonbiBonkers is a cosplayer best known for creating short dubbed videos on the social media app TikTok dressed as various characters from anime, comics and video games. In October 2018, the various BonbiBonkers social media accounts were abandoned following an alleged doxing and harassment campaign.

History

In July 2017, the Bonbibonkers account was created on the app Musical.ly. In August 2018, Musical.ly was rebranded to TikTok. Over the course of the year, BonbiBonkers uploaded numerous videos cosplaying as various fictional characters while lip dubbing background audio tracks (shown below).

Harassment

On October 14th, 2018, BonbiBonkers broadcast a final livestream on TikTok expressing sadness and frustration with having to leave social media due to safety concerns (shown below).

The following day, YouTuber Lord Zoomer uploaded a video claiming that BonbiBonkers had been targeted by users on 4chan's /wsg/ board and users on the Russian 2ch board /fag/ in a doxing campaign, leading to the removal of the BonbiBonkers social media feeds (shown below). Additionally, the video highlighted clips of BonbiBonkers edited with footage of Ricardo Milos dancing. The following day, the /r/BonbiBonkers^[3] subreddit was launched for discussions about the cosplayer.
