CatboyKami
CatboyKami (born either 1997 or 1998) is an Australian streamer, known for his various online activities connected to right-wing activism.[1][2] He started streaming in 2019.
Online activities
Formerly going under the username "lolisocks", one of his most constant online activities is livestreaming himself in various activities, famously including online trolling of users on the popular chatting site Omegle.
In mid-2019, Kami started live-streaming on DLive. In late 2019, he was banned from DLive for streaming the revisionist documentary Adolf Hitler: The Greatest Story Never Told on the streaming platform.
His first big stream was a 10-hour long meeting with American nationalist Nick Fuentes, streamed in December 2019.
Starting in mid-2020, Kami streamed and uploaded multiple videos of himself, where he wore outfits, including blackface and stereotypical outfits that mocked Blacks, Asians, Latinos and Jews.
Kami, along with online streamer Baked Alaska, attended a pro-Trump rally in Phoenix, Arizona,[2] where he chanted that "we will not fall for the lies of the Jews this time. This time, we know our war is with them", referring to the theory that Donald Trump won the 2020 American elections.
In February 2021, one of Kami's streams was played at a Zoom meeting on racial equality organized by Pennsylvania State University, where he depicted himself dressed up as a police officer, kneeling on a doll of George Floyd.[3] Later, Kami was interviewed by the FBI, which he described as a "raid".
In July 2021, Kami was outed by journalist Alex Mann, who revealed his real name on an ABC radio podcast episode.
