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.
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. [1] He has also participated in the Humanities and Arts & Science Program at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario.[2] 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.[3]

Lee baiters
Lee baiters are those who post MLP-related content 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.

- Karaboga Proxyhopper: CC before he was called CC.
- Ausfreak: An Australian Lee baiter.

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)
