Even some WaPo supporters pointed out how the whole article could have existed without including the name of the person behind the account.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>But now she\u2019s out there, and was willing to discuss a few misperceptions with The Daily Wire.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThere is so much misinformation and lies going around about this whole thing. Some of it is just really funny,\u201d the Twitter phenomenon said during a phone interview. One of the most ridiculous lies perpetuated by the article was she created the account on a quest to be famous, or at the very least, because she was transphobic.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cPeople think that I started this and I had this whole plan and I wanted to harass people on the Left,\u201d she told The Daily Wire. \u201c[They think] I had this whole agenda. The truth is, the way that they found me is they were able to dig up what the Libs of TikTok handle used to be called.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The ease with which Lorenz and software developer Travis Brown unearthed the account\u2019s Twitter history and profile changes helps prove how little she was trying to hide. The creator of Libs of TikTok, whose name we will omit out of respect for her privacy, said she originally started the account for laughs as a place to post videos of blue-haired Leftists saying silly things on TikTok. As a private person who never even had a Facebook page, she said she was not chasing notoriety.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI was just having fun,\u201d she said during the interview. She and some friends thought they\u2019d find the wildest videos they could and share them amongst themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>But LOTT unearthed a scandal and once she saw behind the curtain, the Twitter user felt a moral obligation to keep posting even amid mounting threats and hatred. Lorenz may have given her the most exposure, but she wasn\u2019t the first person to notice how Libs of TikTok was becoming an internet sensation. This was very bad for Leftists who couldn\u2019t stand being laughed at.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIt just started picking up so much steam, and then the videos started going viral. \u2026 I never expected it to grow as big as it did,\u201d she told The Daily Wire. She said she hates how WaPo made her sound fame-hungry when it\u2019s not how she feels at all. \u201cI was not looking for this,\u201d she said. \u201cI never asked for this; I didn\u2019t want this \u2026 it just, it happened.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cSometimes even now I\u2019m like, is this real? Is this really having an impact on legislation like the Left is claiming? It still boggles my mind how this has been affecting the narrative and the culture war.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In the beginning, she recalls posting a lot about COVID-19 because that\u2019s what people were talking about. The LOTT creator said it was a lot of vaccine song and dance routines and that she refrained from posting opinions on COVID-19, preferring to share the content and let viewers draw their own conclusions. She\u2019s masterful at doing that to the point that the Left accuses her of taking the videos \u201cout of context.\u201d However, Libs of TikTok usually promotes publicly available videos often without extra commentary.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cYou\u2019re holding up a mirror,\u201d the LOTT creator told The Daily Wire when asked to speculate on why they hate her so much. \u201cI think they feel threatened.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"und\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/YmoMbIEGsk\">pic.twitter.com\/YmoMbIEGsk<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Libs of TikTok (@libsoftiktok) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/libsoftiktok\/status\/1517175252241063941?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 21, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span>\u201cThe Left are experts in gaslighting and lying,\u201d she continued. \u201cThey\u2019re trying to tell you, there\u2019s no CRT [Critical Race Theory] in schools. No one wants to talk to little kids about sex. It\u2019s just not happening \u2026 the LGBT community is just full of love. They have all these talking points, and then when I\u2019m posting stuff refuting their own points, with their own words \u2013 that\u2019s why it\u2019s so powerful.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Eventually, the Twitter sensation started following the topic of the day: pronouns. She mentioned the \u201cnarcissism\u201d of anyone demanding that others use specific, even made-up pronouns when they\u2019re not around. \u201cYou have to be so self-obsessed to force someone to say your made-up pronoun,\u201d she mused.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Ultimately, the LOTT creator says she feels more sympathy than wrath for the people who make it onto her feed. \u201cI mean, it\u2019s funny and everyone laughs at them, but I actually feel really bad for them. I think we have a serious mental health crisis that is not being addressed.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Radical gender theory eventually led her to the preschool teachers bragging about teaching it to young students. Though exposing teachers and informing parents was never the Twitter user\u2019s intention, once she saw what was happening in schools, she knew how important it was to keep going.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIt was never a decision, like I want to explore what\u2019s going on in schools,\u201d Libs of TikTok\u2019s creator told The Daily Wire. \u201cI didn\u2019t even know. I didn\u2019t know what was happening.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Later, she mentioned being \u201cmost proud\u201d of exposing what was going on at schools.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In a recent tweet, she wrote, <\/span><span>\u201cBrian Stelter: \u2018It\u2019s [Libs of TikTok] even helped inform Florida\u2019s recent parental rights law\u2019 If true, this is one of the biggest accomplishments of my life and I will wear it with a badge of honor.
