Tarrant-chan is the animefied, kawaii version of the right-wing terrorist and mass murderer Brenton Tarrant.
Bio[edit | edit source]
On March 15th, 2019, 28-year-old Brenton Tarrant took his gun and shot 91 people in two Christchurch mosques; being well on his way to a third one before police managed to apprehend him. Ever the attention whore, he also live-streamed the incident on Facebook and uploaded his 78-page manifesto to various websites; one of which was 8chan's /pol/ board.
/pol/ reacted with the usual mix of approval ('One of us, one of us!') and sarcasm ('Simp can't even load his gun straight'), and Anon promptly began to work on edits of the shooting footage that replaced the audio with soundbits from Doom. THat some drawfags promptly turned him into an qt. anime grill was to be expected. That said figure was claimed by adult baby diaper lovers, less so.
Look, don't ask.
In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]
Tarrant-chan fought in the board war of 8chanmania LXII, where she represented /abdl/. Again, don't ask. She was promptly defeated by /furry/'s N8, which might be the first time in recorded history where the furbait was the lesser of two evils.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- Immediately following the Christchurch shootings, /pol/tards repeatedly tried to nominate Brenton Tarrant himself for the mania. This was actively denied by the powers that be, whereas the kawaii version of Tarrant that literally kept shitting her pants was not. Make of this what you will.
- While Tarrant's use of 8chan was celebrated by parts of the userbase, it also proved to be one of the last nails on the site's coffin, as third-party contractors became understandably reluctant to do business with 8chan.
