The 2018 Zoosadism Scandal refers to a series of high-profile exposures involving underground networks on platforms like Discord and Instagram that shared animal cruelty content. The event became a significant part of internet lore, often appearing at the lower levels of 'Internet Iceberg' charts due to its disturbing nature. In meme culture, the topic is typically used in 'People Who Know / People Who Don't Know' formats or as a way to reference the darker, more obscure corners of digital history. It serves as a grim reminder of the internet's capacity for subcultures to hide in plain sight and the subsequent efforts of online investigators to bring them to justice.
