One of the legends I just learned about was that SA caused a homeless black man serious harm by costing him his job through creating and memeing the "You gonna get raped" meme into existence.


KnowYourMeme posted:

In 1993 a photographer named Matt Kenlon was sent to cover the Mississippi River Flooding.

In November 1994 the photographer met a homeless man named William Todd in the town of Biloxi, Mississippi. Kenlon asked Todd if he could take some photos… the results:



The photos were published in a coffee table book produced by McLaren Press in 1996 called "America's Refuse: Homeless in the Heartland."

In 2001, the Something Awful forums began hosting a scanned version of one of the photos -- the one with the fierce, vaguely threatening stare, glowering through that intimidating hood:


The words "You gonna get raped" were written on it. From this point onward, the man would become known as the "You're Gonna Get Raped Guy".

This less-than-classy internet meme did not go over well for William Todd, the subject of the original photograph. According to a morrissey-solo.com forum user named snowfallsoon:

"That whole thing started at somethingawful.com…i forget exactly how but there was a thread that turned into something like 'music to get raped by'- a photoshopped CD cover has Todd's face on it. Todd was fired from his job and could not find another job for 6 months. He has been clean for 14 years and now works for a contractor rebuilding buildings in Biloxi."

A more detailed explanation of William Todd's life (he has also been hit by 2005 hurricane Katrina) and how the pictures spread can be found in a 2006 LiveJournal article:

"Someone had scanned the picture of Todd from America's Refuse and placed it online as a sort of punchline. Julius wasn't the first Biloxi native to notice. The picture was forwarded to inboxes across town. Todd was, by then, a supervisor at the newspaper. At his next employee review, the picture surfaced. He didn't know what to say. He was let go. William was jobless for six months after that.

That picture got featured on Fark.com, then it was all over Internet."

Oof this site has definitely changed a lot for the better over the decades.
