Lee Goldson

"I've pretty much revolved the rest of my life around not being associated with Barney in hopes I don't end up like those who like it. I can't think, I can't live, because everywhere I go, I see that purple dinosaur's visage."

Lee Goldson

Summary

Lee Goldson also known as Barneyfag, Cheeseboy, x86x2, and many other nicknames is a legendary 4chan poster and tracer foot enthusiast whose level of autism is rivaled by very few on the site. Lee has been on an autistic one-man crusade for nearly a decade, motivated by his childhood trauma and haunted by the threads that he let archive (due to laziness). Lee spends upwards of 18 hours a day patrolling various boards on 4chan searching for posts that contain My Little Pony and Barney imagery in an attempt to eradicate things that he deems childish from the site and fight back against the people who he believes are targeting with said imagery. Barneyfag replies to these posters with a set of images comparing the show (MLP) to barney. Barneyfag almost always wishes death on the posters, sometimes describing in graphic detail how he would like to mutilate them.

He has the moral high ground.

Disclaimer

The poster referred to below as "Lee" or "Goldson" may not be Lee Goldson anymore, as it cannot be confirmed whether or not it is still him posting.

Personal Life

Goldson was born on January 8th 1995 and lives in Ontario, Canada. He formerly played in a band called "Whitecap Grave", although he has since left to spend more time on 4channel tracking down cheese. He has also participated in the Humanities and Arts & Science Program at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario. During Lee's time in Special Ed in high school another student was watching Barney and Friends in two hour blocks everyday, while Lee was watching other things on a smart board. This traumatized Lee and he started associating everything he ever watched during that time with Barney, one example being a concert of his former favorite band Pink Floyd, which he can't stand listen to anymore. Lee is a Doom speedrunner and likes Splatoon despite his hatred of things he considers childish. One time Lee accidentally posted a picture of Tracers feet instead of one of his usual images.

4chan

Goldson is best known for posting this image:

He posts it in an effort to call out people posting "My Little Pony" related content. Lee apparently hates the show, comparing it to "Barney and Friends" in all of his images. His posts go back to the MLP generals on /co/ meaning that he has been doing this since at least 2011.

Lee's real-life identity, including his full name, social media accounts and other miscellaneous information, was given out by an anonymous user on /v/ back in 2016. He has (indirectly) confirmed this dox as being his by responding with "DOXING! MODS!".

Kiwifarms

On August 3rd 2015, Lee created an account on Kiwifarms under the name x86x2. He then began posting in his own thread, answering questions the other users had about him. As of now, Lee has not posted to Kiwifarms since April 30th, 2017.

Lee baiters

Leebait is any cropped image from Derpibooru or MLP itself, for example portraits of the character Don Turtelli from foot fetish artwork of the show. Leebaiters are those who post leebait in order to elicit a response from Lee himself. Here are a few of them:

• Justpassingthrough (ban-evading Argentinian (Barneyfag)): A kiwifarms user who has been around since Lee began his tirade.
• tay k 47/tk47: A /qa/non and confirmed csgo cheater whose steam profilewas leaked (by himself). His full name (tay k 47) is now spam filtered from 4chan, so Lee now just abbreviates it to tk47.
• CC: A poster known to post the "kara boga" copypasta and other mud dick spam related content. His name is also from his steam profile.
• Karaboga Proxyhopper: CC's original name
• Ausfreak: An Australian Lee baiter.
• British Phoneposter/ British scum: A British Lee baiter.
• Filthy Franc: A French Lee baiter.
• Vendettafag: A poster that emails Lee threads that he missed.
• FagMark : a Pseudo-Baiter who’s profile pic of a Pickle Rick styled Twilight Sparkle is used to bother Lee

There are other Lee baiters not listed. Feel free to make an edit if you would like to include any others.

Controversy over identity

Many posters on 4chan hold the opinion that Lee himself no longer posts anymore. Here are some theories about the true source of these posts:

• The baiters and "Lee" are the same person (confirmed fake)
• "Lee" is actually a group of trolls operating together
• Some people think that the posts are made by bots, this is unlikely as Lee will sometimes give unique and specific responses. (confirmed fake)

A piece of Advice

Do know that posting Leebait will result in a 30 day site-wide ban from 4chan, so use either a VPN or mobile data if you do not care about your mobile range getting banned.

DO NOT pretend to be or imitate lee on 4chan, your IP will be permanently banned.
